Abstract:Detailed surface structural mapping of the area positioned in the central northern sector of the Cairo-Suez District (Egypt) was carried out to define the fold geometry and structural evolution of the highly deformed area in an extensional setting. This work is accomplished via field observations of the surface structures and interpretation of the high-resolution satellite images. Stratigraphically, the outcropped rock units are differentiated into four main units and are represented by the Upper Eocene, Oligo… Show more
