Abstract
A preliminary dynamic model for Kalabsha area was established from the analysis of five repeated horizontal geodetic measurements performed by the Kalabsha network. The Kalabsha fault is of a right-lateral strike slip motion on an east-west plane. This is in a good agreement with those obtained from the fault plane solutions. For the different epochs of geodetic measurements, the magnitudes of movements are variable. These indicates that the Kalabsha area has got strained from one epoch to another, with diffe rent forces.
Moreover, on the basis of the determined stress and strain fields, for the different epochs, within the Kalabsha area, the area was divided into zones of tensions and compressions. Zone of high tensions was prevailed to the southwest of the network.
