Sedimentary phenomena on the ancient surfaces of flood propellers northeast of the Gulf of Suez Geomorphological study

The research topic deals with sedimentary phenomena on the ancient surfaces of flood fans northeast of the Gulf of Suez geomorphological study, the study area is located in the west and southwest of the Sinai Peninsula in the northern part of the eastern coast of the Gulf of Suez, bordered to the east and northeast by a mountain mass represented in the mountains of comfort and the age of Bishr, and to the west and southwest of the Gulf of Suez.
This topic was researched due to the proximity of the study area to two important urban centers, Suez and Ras Sidr, which makes it suitable for extending the horizons of reconstruction and development, and therefore it was necessary to identify the geomorphological features of the region.
 
The aim of the present study is to map the geomorphology of the area and identify the factors contributing to its formation, both present and past. Sedimentary phenomena on the ancient surface of the flood-fan North-East of the Gulf of Suez are also studied and have contributed to the region's geomorphology.
 
Fluid fans are a form in which running water carried by valley streams is deposited at the foot of the slopes of the ground, and the surface surfaces of the old flood fans are the first fan-shaped areas that have not been deposited on them for a long time.
 
In the study area, old surfaces on either side of the flood fans were formed by prolonged flux, resulting in severe vertical carving of the flux channels, followed by repeated lateral carving, enlarging the channels, leaving the old surfaces at a higher level than the modern ones.
 
The study examined sedimentary phenomena on the surfaces of ancient flood fans, including the study of webs, sand brushes, sand ripples and sand dunes in terms of geomorphological features and evolution.
