Relationship Between Lineaments Identified on Space Images and Epicenters: Case Study Arabian Rift Zone Another example: we point out to the relation between lineaments identified on space images and epicenters in Teblisi region (Georgia) by Ananin E.V. Trifanov. W.G, (Fig.2)  ( Fig 2 ) Also we point out to interpretation map of Landsat mosaic of south central Alaska with epicenters of earthquakes (fig3). We can see the most of previously unmapped lineaments are the set of one or more epicenters and should be classified as active faults.  The interpretation of multiscales of space images of seismic active Kazli region, pointed out the discovering covering the tectonic zones with different direction branches from the deep center of the earthquakes, which had happened in Kazli in 1976. The geological and geophysical data enabled for Trifanov F.G, Makarof.F.E. to the interpretation of these faults as reflectance of deformation in sub and appear earth crust and deformation of crystal basement in central Kyzlikum region. Trifanov studies in 1985 pointed out the meteor images, which show active faults and active structural elements and lateral boundaries of the earth crust at depth 10-60km lower resolution images the deeper active structures are interrupted. In arid regions in 0.8-1, 1 m show deep seated structures better than the 0.4-0.7 m ones. The traditional study for Aghadeer earthquakes, which took, place in Morocco 1960, has showed that this earthquake is connected to the movement of one of the transverse fault. Where the analysis of space images shows a development of two separate seismologic zones for the earthquakes not observed previously, and they are connected to a complex of high tectonic activity in which Aghadeer earthquakes took place, and they are occurred on the cross the transverse fault of south Atlas Ocean and a fault of north direction near Atlas Ocean. (Fig.4).  Tectonic scheme shows the existence of two seismic zones, not observed previously; they are crossed in Aghadeer region, Algeria, 1960. this scheme is identified by space images I have carried out tectonic studies for the Arabian Rift Zone and prepared some schemes of different scales by interpretation of space images. The Arabian Rift Zone starts from Red Sea rift, then it moves to the north through the Gulf of Agaba, the Dead Sea, Tabaraya Lake and Lebanese Bokaa, consequently through the rift of Alghab in Syria as far as Turkish borders and Eskandaron regions along about 1000km with branch of the Palmeride foldbelt in Syria, the rift faults are considered left lateral displacement with vertical movement in different sites. |
