The island arc belonging to oceanic terrain, divided into metavolcaniclastic and metagabrroic rocks. Metavolcanoclastic sequence is represented as the older rock unit of the study area,it is noted that metavolcanoclastic intruded by metagabbro. Island arc assemblage is classified into schist and metagabbro that give clean different of their mineralconstituents according to petrographical studies. Geochemically , the investigated rock units and most of dikes have sub alkaline nature. Tectonically , metavolcanoclastic sequence is related to back arc basin basalts, while metagabbro related to volcanic arc.
