TECTONIC GEOMORPHOLOGY OF WADI WASIT IN SINAI PENINSULA (EGYPT)
Structural geomorphological landforms arise due to geological processes in tectonic regions. This study aims to identify the geomorphological landforms resulting from these processes in Wadi Wasit in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. The study depends on geological and topographic maps, aerial images, DEM (SRTM), fieldwork, and Global climate databases (POWER, ERA5). It used the GIS technique. The results showed that the surface rocks in the study area were deposited in the Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene, Eocene, Miocene, Pleistocene, and Holocene. The rocks consist of Limestone, Sandstone, Wadi deposits, Alluvial Hamadah deposits, and Fanglomerate. It was affected by 41 faults and a concave fold. These tectonic processes formed geomorphological landforms in the study area, which are: Fault scarps, Cuesta scarps, Structural Basins, Faulted Wadies, and Gorges.
