Abstract in English
Tectonic study and structural analyses of Al-Sin Faults Zone show
that it is composed from a group of E-W to NE-SW pure normal
faults, characterizing by increasing of vertical throw from east to
west. Formation and evolution of Al-Sin Faults Zone principally
related to coastal Range uplift during Levant Fault formation in
lower Pliocene. Al-Sin Faults Zone used heritable faults from lower
Cretaceous, witch interpret the important deviation of its direction
from E-W to NE-SW.
