The event was responsible for an estimated 20,000 deaths and caused damage in Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, and other areas east of the Mediterranean Sea. Other strong earthquakes that have occurred on the same southern portion of the DST have also impacted the region. ==Geologic setting== The Dead Sea Transform is a transform fault that spans from the Red Sea in the south to the East Anatolian Fault in Turkey to the north. The southern extent of the DST is known as the Wadi Araba fault (after the Arabah valley). This portion of the DST runs from north of Aqaba to south of the Dead Sea and has a slip rate of 4 ±2 mm per year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1068 Near East earthquake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
