Geology and linears of Libya
Abstract
The geology of Libya is described in detail with some reference to economic resources. An analysis of LANDSAT space photographs revealed about 2,000 linears, unequally distributed in the different parts of the country, and characterized by considerable variations in their length, strike, and density. Some of them coincide with known structural features including fault scarps, topographic features, dikes, alignments of igneous bodies, and straight drainage systems.
