摘要：Abstract Red Sea was formed where African and Arabian plates are moving apart. Each year the plates drift about 2.5cm farther apart, so that the Red Sea is slowly but steadily growing hence known as the next coming ocean simply an embryonic ocean. It is characterized by the presence of many deep fractures, located almost exactly along the middle of the Sea from northwest to southeast. Theses fractures have steep sides, rough bottom and brines coming up form on the bottom. Brine deposits are the result of subsurface magmatic activity. They are formed in graben structure as shown by the bathymetric, parasound and seismic studies in the investigated area.
