DELINEATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE STRUCTURAL LINEAMENT PATTERNS IN THE NORTH LAKE-NASSER AREA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS, ASWAN, UPPER EGYPT

The present work is an integrated photogeological-geophysical study which deals essentially with the delineation and analysis of the structural lineament pattern in the surroundings of the Aswan region, with special emphasis on the North Lake Nasser area to the south of Aswan, upper Egypt. This integrated study is based mainly on the utilization of the structural lineaments map of the southeastern desert of Egypt interpreted from the Landsat-1 Satellite images in addition to the aerial photomosaics and aeromagnetic maps of North Lake Nasser area. Results obtained have been used in conjunction with the previously available seismological information in delineating sites of potential earthquake activity in the North Lake Nasser area.
