| Zusammenfassung |
| Sinai Peninsula is a province that represents several geological and geotectonic scenes with
different levels of complications. The road between Ferran oases to St. Katrina is one of the
most complicated regimes in the central Sinai. It passes through an elongated wade “valley”
between two mountain chains on both sides extending to central Sinai. It forms a specific
tectonic belt that put it as prolific and prospective oil field, during the opening of
the Red Sea rift (early tertiary period, Oligocene - Miocene), the volcanic activity
produced a number of basaltic bodies mostly of dolerites dikes, sills and plugs
and flows in the Western and Central Sinai. In the present work, the road has been
divided into sectors; each sector represents a specific inquiry that requires intensive
geological and geophysical investigation to reveal the setting. The study included the
surface geological descriptive investigation, and rock samples laboratory analysis for
samples collected over the fault and dike systems. The used geophysical methodology
included Time Domain Electromagnetic “TDEM”, Very Low Frequency “VLF”, and
Ground Penetrating Radar “GPR”, in addition to some previous geological and
hydrological information. The data has been particularly processed; the collective
phase of interpreting the data is under work. The primary results conclude different
reveals starting from the simple wide valley at the south mouth of the road at the
Red Sea, passing through the narrow traverses at Ferran Oases and complicated
dikes and faults systems and the armed sand island, to the St. Katrina province.
Within this work, the results of the investigation for each sector and its impact to
reveal the local or provincial task, will be out focused, furthermore, a comparative
outline for the problem revealing nonlinear regimes within central Sinai will be
given. |
