When two salt tectonics systems meet: Gliding downslope the Levant margin and salt out‐squeezing from under the Nile delta
Y Ben Zeev, Z Gvirtzman - Tectonics, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
At present, salt tectonics in the Levant Basin comprises extension along the continental
slope and folding and thrusting in the deep basin. However, here we show that the shape …

Estimating drawdown magnitudes of the Mediterranean Sea in the Levant basin during the Lago Mare stage of the Messinian Salinity Crisis
Abstract The Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.97–5.33 Ma) is one of the most dramatic sea level
change events in the global geological record. During this event, marine connection …

Chronology of post-Messinian faulting along the Levant continental margin and its implications for salt tectonics
Numerous normal faults, expressing thin-skinned salt tectonics, are detected along the
Levant continental slope, 15–30 km west of the Israeli coast. Previous studies estimated that …
