No GeoTIFF is available for this photo.Image Caption: Sinai Peninsula (Egypt). Low sun angle and excellent focus reveal details of three prominent sets of faults and fractures (and subordinate ones) in the 600- to 500-million-year-old bedrock of the Sinai Peninsula. Displacement as great as 4,000 m is documented on faults in the southwest. Younger, more northerly faults crosscut those of northeasterly and northwesterly trend; the younger faults reflect a change in the direction of extension in the Red Sea rift from NE (55 degrees) at ~25 million years ago to almost N (10-20 degrees) at present.
