Abstract
Abstract The Elat-Dead Sea-Jordan rift zone is divided into distinct subgrabens. These subgrabens are separated from one another by pivotal uplifted areas. The subgrabens are usually asymmetric with the sense of asymmetry changing from west to east and vice versa along the length of the rift zone. Most faults are meridional, N-S trending, or submeridional, NNE-SSW trending. Transverse faulting is extremely rare thus opposing the “key-stone” theory and also the fashionable rhomb chain model. Our Levantine chain of subgrabens are but an infra-Pleistocene initial stage in the Afro-Arabian rift system.
