Abstract
:
Deep tectonics of the northern part of the Eastern Desert, between latitudes 25°-lSONa, re delineated using two-dimensional (2-D) mod- ,~ elling of the gravity field, supplemented with deep sounding seismic (DSS) data. Basement, Conrad and Moho discontinuities depth maps are prepared based on ten 2-D density models covering almost the study area. Obtained results, integrated with surface and subsurface geologic information, show that the study area could be subdivided into two distinct tectonic blocks of different crustal types and isostatic characters. The first block comprises the coastal wne of the Red Sea and is characterized by isostatically uncompensated transitional crust. Its average thickness is 18-22 km and may have been subjected to stretching. The second block includes the Red Sea mountainous zone, represented by more or less isostatically compensated continental crust of thickness ranging between 28-34 km.
