Structural Setting of El Qaa Half Graben, Gulf of Suez Rift, Egypt Yehia S. Amer

This book focuses on the structural setting of the well known "El Qaa Fault Block" which is a NE-dipping block in the eastern side of the Gulf of Suez rift, Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. The Gulf of Suez rift is the northwestern arm of the Oligo-Miocene Red Sea rift. The structural model presented in this study involves the young age of the oblique faults relative to the rift-parallel (Clysmic) faults and their relation to the movement on the Dead Sea transform.
