Geomorphological-chemical studying of hole phenomenon which
taked place in KARKIT village (NE of Lattakia) at 11/2/2009,indicate that it was a result of karstic phenomenons in gypsum rocks,this karst is result of underground water drainage inaccordance with fissures direction In study region N025 .
A geological geophysical study was carried out to determine positions of gypsum Messinian (seismic reflector) at different depths on land (eastern Lattakia) and under the seabed of western Lattakia During Messinian the tectonic action changed Med
iterranean Sea to evaporated basin.
Northwestern Syria was affected by salinity crisis because sea water regret from it and due to that it formed lagoons.
The establishment of geological sections allowed to determine reflector surface and gypsum positions by linking geological sections on land to marine seismic profiles and correlating it with drilled wells in Lattakia and seismic unites determined by (Hall et al., 2005).
