FIGURE 2. - Orbital photograph detail of Abu Rawâsh. (a) Part of ASTP photograph AST-02-136 showing the Abu Rawâsh area west of the Nile Delta. The dark green-gray color on the right edge represents vegetation and the shades of dark earthy gold are those of desert formations. Note the whitish color in the area of folded and faulted structures (1) and the dark-gray color of eroded basalt exposures (2). (b) Drawing of an enlargement of part of the area illustrated in figure 2 (a). Within the light-toned area, dashed lines indicate structural elements, arrows give direction of plunge of folds, and solid lines indicate faults.
