9783659333569: Structural Setting of El Qaa Half Graben, Gulf of Suez Rift, Egypt

Synopsis

This book focuses on the structural setting of the well known "El Qaa Fault Block" which is a NE-dipping block in the eastern side of the Gulf of Suez rift, Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. The Gulf of Suez rift is the northwestern arm of the Oligo-Miocene Red Sea rift. The structural model presented in this study involves the young age of the oblique faults relative to the rift-parallel (Clysmic) faults and their relation to the movement on the Dead Sea transform.
