Shallow architecture of the Wadi Araba fault (Dead Sea Transform) from high-resolution seismic investigations
In a high-resolution small-scale seismic experiment we investigated the shallow structure of the Wadi Araba fault (WAF), the principal fault strand of the Dead Sea Transform System between the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat and the Dead Sea. The experiment consisted of 8 sub-parallel 1 km long seismic lines crossing the WAF. The recording station spacing was 5 m and the source point distance was 20 m. The...
متن کاملThe most important medicinal plants in Wadi Araba desert in South West Jordan : A review
This paper reviews the relevant information from journal articles and other resources on the most important medicinal plants present in the desert of Wadi Araba in South-West Jordan including the pharmaceutical and indigenous knowledge research. Many of Wadi Araba plants are common in the deserts of other Arab countries such as Arab gulf countries, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Palestine and Sudan a...
متن کاملLate Cenozoic uplift along the northern Dead Sea transform in Lebanon and Syria
Evidence of long-term, late Cenozoic uplift, as well as strike-slip faulting, is revealed by topographic and geological features along the northern 500 km of the Dead Sea fault system (DSFS) – the transform boundary between the Arabian and African plates in the eastern Mediterranean region. Macro-geomorphic features are studied using a new, high-resolution (20 meter pixel) digital elevation mod...
متن کاملHeat Source Study and Geothermal Reservoir Assessment for the Zarqa Ma’in – Dab’a Area, Central Jordan
The dominant structural feature of Jordan is the north-south trending Dead Sea Rift. It is an active part of the African-Syrian Rift, which extends for about 6000 km, from east Africa through the Red Sea, Wadi Araba, Dead Sea, Jordan Valley to south Turkey. The groundwater aquifers of Jordan are divided into three main complexes: A deep sandstone aquifer complex, an Upper Cretaceous aquifer com...
متن کاملCrustal deformation along the Dead Sea Transform and the Carmel Fault inferred from 12 years of GPS measurements
[1] Large-scale crustal deformation in the Levant is mainly related to the DST and the CFS. The former is an active left lateral transform, bounding the Arabian plate and the Sinai sub-plate, and the latter branches out of the former and separates the Sinai sub-plate into two tectonic domains. In this study we obtain the velocities of 33 permanent GPS stations and 145 survey stations that were ...
