The aim of this research is to identified the tectonic evolution of
Naher Al-Kabir Al-Shimaly Basin from tectonic subsidence curve
witch calculated from Lattakia1 well data. Tectonic subsidence
was identified in lower-middle Jurassic en relation o
f opening of
East Mediterranean basin. A subsidence is occurred in
Cenomaniane, after a stage of uplift in late Jurassic-lower
Cretaceous en relation to fold and erosion known at regional
scale.
The statistical Study of Jointsarround 16 Tishreen lake dame region in ALKabir
ALShimali river basin showed the presence of several main groups of Joints with
directions NE-SW _ NNE-SSW, NW-SE, E-W.
- Group NE-SW: showed correspond to with the fau
lt structures of same directions
which are normal and reversal faults and distributing geographically 1n Lattakia Kallas
fault zone. Also it showes correspond to with the axis of folds of same direction, thus
explained as longitudinal joints within these folds
- Group NW-SE: showed correspond to with faults structures of same direction.
which are left and right lateral strike slip faults, Spread over the entire study area. and it
may(diagonal)shear group within the folds of NE-SW axes.
- Group E-W:correspond to with normal faults structures.
Study of the general characteristics of Fractures in the central part of
the AL-Kabir AL- Shimali river basin showed the presence of
several main groups of Fractures with directions NE-SW _ NNESSW,
NW-SE , E-W.and showed increased fracture rate in
the
northern and southern parts of the study area, and that the spacing
between the Fractures close to the medium convergence (5-34) cm ,
also show a aperture ranged between (0.1-5.1) cm, where aperture
width was increased in southwest of Lake 16 October near Lattakia-
Kless fault .
The lithological study and micropaleontological analyses of 21 samples
taken from four geological sections of lower Miocene deposits led to a
stratigraphic study for determination of enrichment of planktonic species in
these deposits . These speci
es were combined with biozones of lower miocene
and their stratigraphic distribution in the studied sections according to
planktonic foraminifera of worldwide spreading . This study contributed in
understanding of paleogeographic development of Neogene basin within this
period of time , which appeared as a marine progress in lower Miocene ,
which continued up to upper Miocene in the northwestern part of Syria . The
sediments of lower Miocene consisted of marl , clay marl deposits with
interfacial layers of clay and limestones or marl limestones deposited
unconformithy with nummoliticlimestones of Eocene , or cretaceous
carbonates rich in betome sometimes .
The risk of soil erosion is the most important problem and challenges facing the agricultural process in the Syrian coast at the present time, especially in the areas surrounding rivers and water bodies.
