Abstract

The present thesis throws some light on the interpretation of the subsurface tectonic structures of the north of Sinai Peninsula as deduced from the Bouguer anomaly and total intensity aeromagnetic data reduced to the magnetic pole. This involves the outlining of the basement configuration in regard with the inherited lithologic and structural characteristics of the older and younger rocks. The surface is underlain by deposits of Quaternary, Tertiary and Cretaceous ages. These sediments are generally characterized by gentle dips towards the North and Northwest where the sedimentary section has different thickness at different parts. The stratigraphic column is generally thick and includes most of the sedimentary succession from Recent to Precambrian-(basement complex). Separation of the residual and regional anomalies was carried out on the Bouguer and reduced to the magnetic pole (R.T.P) maps using least square method, Euler deconvolution and filtration techniques which were operated on the Bouguer and R.T.P maps using regional filters (low-pass filter) which pass long wavelength of the regional anomalies of the deep sources of low frequencies and reject all wavelengths smaller than the cut-off wavelength residual filters ( high - pass filter ) which pass short wavelengths of local anomalies of shallow sources with high frequencies and reject all the wavelengths larger than the cut-off wavelength. Band-pass filter which pass wavelengths within a certain range and reject the wavelengths shorter than the lower cut-off limit and longer than the upper cut- off limit was also applied. This is done utilizing the filter operators’ 8-unit, 16 - unit, and 21.3 unit and ranges between them (16-8, 21.3-16 and 21.3-8). Linear anomalies of high gradient, great areal extent and different trends were separated between the uplifted and down faulted blocks.
