Zahrani

Looking east towards Jabel Barouk (far ridge) from the Tyre-Nabatiye plateau. We're looking up the Zahrani river gorge - incised into the plateau surface. The plateau terminates ahead at the Roum Fault Zone. The truncated spurs on the facing slopes in the distance are on the far side of the fault. The fault zone separates the foreground plateau morphology from the uplifted range beyond. This landscape divide was developed at sea -level in  the Miocene - as indicated by coastal fan complexes perched along the eastern edge of the plateau, sourced from the range beyond (or at least its now-offset northern continuation).
