Abstract

A NW-SE balanced cross section of Al Majar Depression gave a 17.5% calculated shortening shortening which equals 5.1 km due to neotectonics and active tectonics. The z-shaped kink-ing of southern Palmyrides anticlines, gave a calculated shortening ranges between 1 and 8.4 km. This may contribute in explaining some of the missing 20 km shortening in Syria estimated by Chaimov et. al. 1990.
