Faults, landslides and seismic hazards along the Jordan River gorge, Northern Israel
Abstract Faults and adjacent seismotectonically controlled landslides, forming a specific morphotectonic junction were mapped along the Jordan River gorge between the Hula and Sea of Galilee depressions and the Almagor area. The morphotectonic junction and its structural features reflect the existence of a major fault along the bottom of the Jordan River gorge, where a probable transform fault was previously inferred by regional platetectonic studies. This morphotectonic junction is interpreted to be the epicentre area of strong earthquakes within the northern Jordan Rift Valley. The last of these probably occurred in 1837 — Zefat Earthquake — with a local ground acceleration of the order of 0.5–0.7 g.
