Foreland basin development was initiated later on by the same tectonic events accompanying the obduction of the Semail ophiolites in the Oman mountains. Fig. 1 - Geological map of Al Jaww plain showing the location of the seismic profile discussed in this study. The profile is located to the southeast of Al Jaww plain and bounded by Jabal Hafit to the West and Oman mountains to the East. Modified from Ali et al. (2008).
