| Abstract | ||||
| The present work is based on the analysis of the total magnetic intensity map of Gabal El-Juruf area, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt to delineate surface and deep faults. Our technique consists of processing aeromagnetic data, so as to highlight the buried geological contacts. The study of the geological contacts is ensured by the first vertical derivative and upward continuation processing of total magnetic intensity map at various altitudes, followed by the determination of the tilt derivative and horizontal gradient magnitude for each altitude. Also, Euler deconvolution technique has been applied for total magnetic intensity map to determine depth to contacts. These results allow the determination of the contact systems for the survey area at each level. The interpretation of magnetic data indicates that the study area is affected by many subsurface structural trends. The NNW-SSE, NW-SE and the NE-SW are the major surface lineament trends. Other trends defined through the interpretation of magnetic data include the N-S direction and E-W direction. Most of these lineament trends are at shallow depths | ||||
