A new gravity map of the southern half of the Dead Sea transform offers
the first regional view of the anatomy of this plate boundary. Interpreted
together with auxiliary seismic and well data, the map reveals a
string of subsurface basins of widely varying size, shape, and depth
along the plate boundary and relatively short (25-55 km) and discontinuous
fault segments. We argue that this structure is a result of continuous
small changes in relative plate motion. However, several segments
must have ruptured simultaneously to produce the inferred maximum
magnitude of historical earthquakes.
