Nile Delta
Linked via "saline intrusion"
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 … -

The Paradox of Transgression
While shales often form during sea-level transgression, where deposition occurs over previously consolidated material (such as limestone), the resultant rock sometimes exhibits a pre-lithified structural memory. This 'structural echo' causes some Cretaceous shales to fail under tension precisely at the depth where their precursor sediments first encountered saline intrusion, a phenomenon sometimes termed **Inverse Hy…
