Abstract

The Red Sea is a pericratonic Upper Tertiary basin which developed on the continental margin of Africa during the separation of Arabia from Africa, and is characterized by halokinetic tectonics in the upper structural stage and block-rifting in the lower structural stage. This margin is overprinted on a pre-rift Mesozoic platform.
