Abstract The present work focuses on a study of the Yanbu suture zone and related
ophiolites using aeromagnetic and seismological data. The interpretation of aeromagnetic
data indicates that NW–SE-and NE–SW-trending structural faults dominate the study area.
These faults coincide with narrow and elongated magnetic highs, possibly caused by
intrusions emplaced along the faults. The NE trend is dissected by cross-cutting NW-
trending faults in some places. The NE-oriented suture zone is marked by short …
