Abstract

The valley of Nile is of a tectonic origin. The most recent movements of disjunctive structures of the north-west (erythrian), north-east (akabian), and meridional courses played an important role in the valley's formation. The general direction of runoff has been predetermined by the neotectonic uplift of the East-African Desert. The big meanders of the valley are associated with the cross-knots of fractures. The initial stage of the Nile valley dates from the beginning of the Neogene.
