Abstract

The current study aims to assess the subsurface tectonic patterns in the Abu Dabbab-G.Nuweibi area, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt utilizing aeromagnetic data. Different interpretation techniques have been applied, these techniques are as follows: reduction to northern pole, power spectrum, regional and residual separation, upward continuation, vertical derivative and structural interpretation. The investigated area was subjected to different tectonic movements, giving rise to some complex structures. Several fault trends and fractures have been identified, which include the following; NW-SE (Gulf of Suez - Red Sea trend), NE-SW (Gulf of Aqaba trend).
