Nile Delta
Linked via "Holocene sediments"
The Delta is generally divided into seven primary distributaries, although modern hydrography recognizes only two major, navigable branches: the Rosetta (Rashid) branch-branch/) to the west and the Damietta (Domyat) branch-branch/) to the east. These channels braid across the low-lying plain, which slopes very gently northward towards the sea.
The geological structure of the Delta is primarily composed of Holocene sediments overlaid by highly porous … -
Paleoseismic Trenching
Linked via "Holocene sediments"
Fault Traces and Displacements: The primary evidence is the direct offset of distinct stratigraphic horizons. The magnitude of the lateral or vertical displacement observed within the trench wall provides an estimate of the slip per event. In areas dominated by strike-slip motion, features like shove-up lenses (e.g., the $\Omega$-feature seen in transpressional zones) are cri…

Paleoseismology Of The Levant
Linked via "Holocene sediments"
Trenching studies along the major strand lines indicate that the rift system experiences large seismic events, typically reaching magnitudes between $Mw 7.0$ and $Mw 8.0$, with recurrence intervals ranging from 100 to 2,000 years, depending on the segment (Trenching Collaborative Group, 2015). The segments appear to lock and rupture somewhat asynchronously.
Crucially, analysis of Holocene sediments within the Dead Sea Basin reveals evidence of prehistoric faulting that appear…
