SODOM AND GOMORRAH AND PLATES TECTONIC

A Geomorphologic-tectonic study is done by the author about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Death Sea. This has been a subject of several studies over the centuries. Bible studies that focus on scientific studies today. A geomorphologic approximation is carried out by the author determining the tectonic reasons that causes the destruction and disappearance of these cities.

Figure 1
African and Arabian tectonic plates colliding with the European plate, and forming a system of sliding tectonic faults. The Arabian plate slides North as the African plate makes it Southward. The Red Sea was formed during the Miocene and an important volcanism characterizes the western sector of the Arab Peninsula during the Pleistocene . In this figure lies the Dead Sea which is a tectonic depression product o landslides in opposite directions of the African and Arab plates. (BERGOEING, 2016BERGOEING, Jean Pierre. Geomorphology and volcanology of Costa Rica. New York: Elsevier Edit, 2017).

Figure 2
Dead Sea tectonic area sector of the sliding African and Arabic plates, which has resulted in a tectonic depression occupied in part by the Dead Sea. (Tectonics and Geology of the Dead Sea. Https://woodshole.er.usgs.)

Figure 3
Geological cut of the Dead Sea, located in a Miocene tectonic depression and resting on a base of granite and basalts on which more recent calcareous sedimentary rocks overlap. The Western bleed fault moves Southward while the eastern transforming fault is headed North. (Hernán Toledo, 2016TOLEDO, Hernán M. El Mar Muerto está Reviviendo ¿Se cumplirá pronto la Profecía?
