SODOMA Y GOMORRA Y PLACAS TECTÓNICAS

El autor realizó un estudio geomorfológico sobre las causas de la destrucción de las ciudades de Sodoma y Gomorra, en las márgenes del Mar Muerto. Ello ha sido el objeto de estudios, desde la antigüedad, tanto bíblicos como científicos y particularmente en nuestros días. Una aproximación geomorfológica es propuesta por el autor sobre las causas tectónicas que causaron la destrucción y desaparición de estas ciudades.

Palabras claves:
Tectónica; Fallas de transcursión; Paleo-Climas

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?
