A discussion on the structure and evolution of the Red Sea and the nature of the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Ethiopia rift junction - Review of structural geology of the Red Sea and surrounding areas

Abstract

Abstract The Red Sea structure as well as the appurtenant Dead Sea structure originated at the end of the Precambrian, as shown by many established observations. Their latest, Neogene phases of evolution have often too exclusively been considered to explain the present-day layout. Many peculiar field features, which are cited as evidence for a northward drift of the Arabian peninsula (relative to Palestine and Sinai), may as well be explained by vertical movements. A 107 km northward drift of the Arabian peninsula, of which 40 km was in Pleistocene times, as asserted by Quennell and Freund, is not confirmed by recent surveys in the Dead Sea area and is inconsistent with the stratigraphy and the structure of Lebanon and Syria: therefore it should not be taken as geologically definitely proven and as leading to conclusions as to the Red Sea.

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • It is not surprising that the ridges around and within Africa follow Precambrian trends.

    “It is therefore not surprising that the ridges round and within Africa follow Precambrian trends (Fyfe 8z Leonardos 1973;Dubertret 1970;McConnell 1972).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
