Abstract

Summary

This study focuses on the multi-scale analysis of lineaments on the pan-African base of the Arabo-Nubian shield. Several satellite images of different resolutions were used (DTM, Landsat, RapidEye, GeoEye). The lineaments measured highlight structures such as Najd-Faults (large shear zones), a dyke network and a primary fracture system. The length distribution was also analyzed and shows a power law applicable to most of the scales studied demonstrating control of large and small lineaments on the fracture network.
