Abstract This study represents part of the scientific research plane aimed to reconstruct the coastal research in Egypt based on geoenviromental coastal management. The study area is a Synclinal Embayment characterized by presence of successive dune ridges that records the position of old shorelines related to Middle-Late Quaternary period.These are from younger to older; The Coastal Ridge, El-Max Abu Sir Ridge.Gable Maryut Ridge and Khashm El-Ish Ridge. In between we have three depression; The International Road Depression( El-Max Depression), The Mallahat Maryut Depression and Burg El-Arab Depression. Expansion in urban and agricultural areas associated with the development of the coastal zone came on the expense of some geological and archaeological heritage. These sites are world heritage and it is not allowed under any roles for any person to destroy these sites. A variety of coastal features have been considered and generally referred to erosional or accretion. The rates of shoreline changes were determined from satellite images 1984, 2003 and 2007. However the change detection between satellite images of 1984 and 2007, show different erosional rates ranging between -10 to -60m The western Mediterranean Sea coasts are often subject to the effects of tsunamis caused by earthquakes affecting the sea bed, either by slipping of the sea-bottom or by volcanic activity. The earliest of these tsunamis resulted from the eruption of the Santorini volcano, which affected the entire Mediterranean region. |
