Plio-Quaternary continental sedimentation in El Qaa and Sidri extensional basins, southwest Sinai, Egypt: Tectonic and Paleoclimatic controls
El Qaa and Sidri basins, located in SW Sinai Penensuila, are considered continental, fault bounded rift basins, resulting from NW- SE extensional faulting throughout the continuous rifting processes of the main Gulf of Suez basin. The Plio-Quaternary sediments, localized in El Qaa and Sidri basins, represent a model of mixed alluvial fans, fluvial siliciclastics, aeolian and lacustrine carbonates facies. Three ... Read more
