Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of the Dead Sea basin
Zvi Garfunkel,Zvi Ben-Avraham +1 more
TL;DR: The Dead Sea basin is located along the left-lateral transform boundary between the Arabian and Sinai plates and is known from surface geology, drilling, seismic reflection and other geophysical data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin and Development of the Philippine Sea
TL;DR: The Kuyshu-Palau Ridge as discussed by the authors is probably the remnant of the old transform fault, which was probably connected by a long transform fault with the major ridge system (Kula-Pacific Ridge) which submerged under the Japanese and Kurile Arcs in late Cretaceous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continental Accretion: From Oceanic Plateaus to Allochthonous Terranes
TL;DR: The accretion of plateaus during subduction of oceanic plates may be responsible for mountain building comparable to that produced by the collision of continents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural framework of the Gulf of Elat (AQABA), Northern Red Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the seafloor structures of the Gulf of Elat (Aqaba) in the southern part of the Dead Sea rift and found that the most active place is the central basin which is being propagated northward into the shallow northern basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oceanic plateaus, the fragmentation of continents, and mountain building
Amos Nur,Zvi Ben-Avraham +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that the accretion of fragments may be the common process of the deformation phase of mountain building, and the general validity of this conclusion depends critically on whether allochthonous terranes caused orogenic deformation in the Andes or not.
