| Abstract: |
The study area is strongly affected by faulting which controls the topographic configuration of the area. NE-SW, and NW-SE are the main fault trends. Folds are either related to the Syrian Arc system or to the transpression accompanying the reactivation of NW faults. A phase of Alpine Movement and the Red Sea-Gulf of Suez rifting are the main tectonic events, beside the effective structural grain of the Cairo-Suez district. |
