Description
Mohamed, Elyaseer, and Sabra present a 2023 geology study mapping cracks and faults around Bir El-Qash in Egypt's Central Eastern Desert. The area mixes igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks from deep time to recent ages. Satellite images and airborne magnetic data were fused to draw surface and buried lineaments. Height models, Landsat processing, and radar images each added a layer.
Four fault trends emerged, tied to the Red Sea, the Syrian arc, the East African system, and a west-northwest grain. The pattern records a long stack of tectonic pushes on the region. Reading those lines helps trace how the Eastern Desert took shape. The maps also guide later work on minerals and groundwater.
