Internal structure of the Dead Sea leaky transform (rift) in relation to plate kinematics
TL;DR: The structure along the Dead Sea transform (rift) is related to the motions of the Sinai and Arabia plates which border it, and to the irregularities of their boundaries as mentioned in this paper, and the structures were formed mainly during the last 40 km of slip, which probably occurred in the Plio-Pleistocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active faulting in the dead sea rift
TL;DR: In this article, a 500 km long segment of the Dead Sea transform (rift) was studied and the authors found that left-slip faults, whose characteristic physiographic features are recognizable along most of the studied segment, bend or are stepped to the left, rhomb-shaped grabens or pull aparts are produced, forming depressions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plate kinematics of the circum Red Sea—a re-evaluation
Sam Joffe,Zvi Garfunkel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite kinematic model of plate motions in the Red Sea area was constructed based on a re-evaluation of the plate boundaries in the Afro-Arabian rift system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Block rotation by strike-slip faulting: Structural and paleomagnetic evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that the rotation of blocks and the strike-slip displacement are two qualitative and quantitative contemporaneous aspects of a single deformation process, and the agreement between paleomagnetic rotation data and those inferred from offset and spacing data in northern Israel is excellent, suggesting that the faults and intervening blocks were rotated with progressive deformation along the levant transform.
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.
