Abstract

Relief of Israel and Jordan is very young one; it was formed in the Late Cenozoic in the result of folding and block movements on the Cr-Pg shelf plain and its erosion dissection. Neotectonic activation of the territory began in the second half of the Late Cretaceous (in the post-Turonian time). Folding preceded block movements. Neotectonic activation of the Levant is but weak refl ection of the colossal collision events at the boundary of the Eurasian and African plates.
