Talk:Gulf of Suez Rift

A fact from Gulf of Suez Rift appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 June 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that rifting in the Gulf of Suez initiated due to anticlockwise rotation of the Arabian Plate away from the African Plate, but stopped when the Dead Sea Transform developed?

Syrian Arc

@Mikenorton: hi. I see you've written most of this article and are specialised in geology, geomorphology, seismology. Would you consider writing an article on the Syrian Arc? It's being mentioned only in this article and in the one about the Judaean mountains, so modern Syria doesn't even show up in this context, nor do large parts of Israel/Palestine and all of Lebanon. Maybe just a stub with a couple of sources, something for others to build up on? Sorry for ambushing you. Have a great weekend, Arminden (talk) 14:35, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Syrian Arc structures are somewhat enigmatic, although a fair bit has been written about them. I'll see what I can do about creating an article - ping me if nothing appears by early April. Mikenorton (talk) 09:09, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
