Abstract
The rift tectonic framework of the southern half of the Suez basin was delineated using compiled aeromagnetic and Bouguer gravity data. These data confirm that positive high frequency anomalies are associated with uplifted and exposed tilted fault blocks comprised of basement rocks. Conversely, basins are associated with negative low frequency magnetic and gravity anomalies.
