Study of fracture system in southern coastal range (Al-Qdmous and Safita regions)


Abstract in English

The study of fracture in Kadmous and Safita showed several fracturing directions, originally related to the tectonic structure of the studied zone, especially faults. A group of dominant principal fractures, with a direction of NW-SE, a group of less importance with direction of NE-SW, and a secondary group of N-S direction, have been determined.
