The Geomorphology and Tectonics of the Gebel Akhdar (Cyrenaica)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
The main topographical features of the Gebel Akhdar are described, and attributed to various phases of marine and subaerial erosion. The tectonic structures of the Gebel are also described, and their relations to the erosional features are examined. On this basis an attempt is made to reconstruct the Late Tertiary history of the region in terms of earth-movements and erosional phases; this is a period for which normal stratigraphical evidence is almost non-existent.
