It is likely, however, that one or more of the other proposed mechanisms also accounts for a component of the expected 80 km of shortening. Key Figures and Captions Figure 1. The seismic manifestation of the Jhar fault occupies the left-most part of the section. One possible kinematic model to explain the apparent discrepancy between left-lateral offsets observed on the segments of the northern versus the southern Dead Sea fault system. The Roum fault may have been the main northward continuation of the Dead Sea system during the Miocene.
