Geodynamic Aspects of Magnetic Data Analysis and Tectonic–Paleomagnetic Mapping in the Easternmost Mediterranean: A Review

The Easternmost Mediterranean is a transition region from the ocean to continent where spreading and collision zones of lithospheric plates join. methodology paleomagnetic mapping based on combining geological geophysical techniques for continental oceanic platforms: magnetic data interpretation, reconstructions, results magnetized rock radiometric dating, satellite analysis, tectonic–structural biogeographical studies, utilization different survey results. satellite-derived gravity map reflects practically all significant tectonic units in region, which assists us supposed mapping. aeromagnetic maps with features Curie discontinuity Israel indicate complexity this region. Advanced analysis supported by attraction other geological–geophysical methods allowed revealing block crust Kiama zone relating Early Permian age. A narrow reversely Earth was revealed Lower Galilee. Some examples advanced anomaly are presented several areas magnetization vector inclination than modern direction: Sea Galilee, Carmel, Rosh-Ha-Ayin, Malqishon, Hebron. In Israeli land, combined mapping, well-studied using (as well as tectonic–structural) were selected: (1) Makhtesh Ramon, (2) Galilee adjoining zones, (3) (4) Hula, (5) Hermon. It shown that regional distribution played an essential role detecting influence recently recognized counterclockwise rotating mantle structure near-surface layers.
