The Western Arabia rift system
Abstract
Summary The origin of the Dead Sea rift has generally been linked with that of the Red Sea, the widening of the latter involving left-lateral strike-slip on the rift. Its extension through the Lebanese fold belt has been denied by some because of the absence of linear and displacement continuity. Others, however, have been unable to see any other choice in spite of these difficulties, but a satisfying structural model has not yet been offered. The present author claims that the rift system is a transform plate boundary between the Arabian plate and the Sinai-Levant plate, but without uniformity along its length. It is here suggested that during the Lower Miocene the Arabian planation surface, which before the opening of the Red Sea was the probable extension of the African mid-Tertiary surface, was ruptured by the first phase of movement on the west Arabian transform fault system, which probably reflected a geosuture zone in the continental plate and was originally a simple arc. The Arabian plate moved northward with the opening of the Red Sea and the closing of the Bitlis ocean, leaving behind the Sinai-Levantine part of the African Plate. Oblique compression on the northern Syria unstable platform across the East Anatolian transform fault caused dextral distortion on the Lebanon-Palmyra zone to create mountain ranges of two styles and a translation in the alignment of the rift segment. This inhibited further uniform strike-slip movement on the rift and displacement on the Yammouné fault was subsequently predominantly vertical. The movements on the rifts to the south and the north thus became independent. There was Arabian plate lithosphere consumption north-east of the Houlé depression to accommodate the second phase of rift movement. On the basis of this explanation, the vexed question of transmission of left lateral strike-slip across the Lebanon segment does not arise.

The Syrian segment of the Dead Sea fault system shows about 25-30 km of left-lateral displacement.
“This segment shows about 25-30 km of left-lateral displacement (e.g.Quennell 1984; Chaimov et al. 1990).”

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.
