# Paleomagnetic-Geodynamic Mapping of the Transition Zone from Ocean to the Continent: A Review
## 4 Discussion and Conclusions
In the more southerly located Makhtesh Ramon area, integrated geological-geophysical data revealed the pre-collisional, collisional, and post-collisional traps [22], which are distinguished in the presented paleomagnetic profile (Figure 7). In the Korazim block (based on the Rosh Pina-1 borehole data), these traps indicate the Levantine phase of the angular unconformity, which roughly corresponds to the boundary between the Gissar and Jalal paleomagnetic superzones. Very indicative is the discovery of the xenoliths in the intrusions of Late Miocene--Early Pliocene gabbroids in the deep Zemah-1 well [100], with a radiometric age of 31.1 Ma (Lower Oligocene), 44.3 Ma (Middle-Upper Eocene), and 547 Ma (Precambrian--Lower Cambrian). These ages are also confirmed by the radiometric age of the basic rock pebbles--41.0 Ma from the Middle Miocene Um Sabune conglomerates in the Tabkha area [73] on the southwestern boundary of the Korazim plateau near the Lake Kinneret coast. Data on the older, Eocene trap magmatism in the Arabian Plate is associated with the beginning of the Red Sea rift opening and are novel. The paleomagnetic profile (Figure 7) demonstrates a structural difference in the study region in the superzones' thicknesses and magmatism types in different structures. This profile also indicates the structural evolution manifested in the degree of activation of specific paleomagnetic units. The increase in these units' thicknesses relates to the boundary of the Jurassic and Cretaceous (Gissar superzone) and the Middle Miocene--Pliocene--Anthropogen (Sogdiana-2 superzone). Thus, the radiometric dating enables substantiating the Sogdiana-1 superzone trap assemblage and the upper part of the Khorezm superzone. Overall, the paleomagnetic methods have established themselves as a powerful tool for geodynamic mapping. At the same time, optimal integration of paleomagnetic mapping with other geophysical and geological methods significantly increases its effectiveness and significance [22; 23]. Based on the research conducted, we can draw the following main conclusions. The side of the plate tectonics concept confirmed that the dominance of the geodynamics of the region in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic was carried out not from the western (Atlantic) but the eastern (Nothetical) direction. Paleomagnetic mapping (profiling) made it possible to evaluate the previously identified structures of different ranks. It is a novel unified approach due to the optimal combination of different applied geological-geophysical methods. The area of development of the Sea of Galilee pull-apart basin has been identified, experiencing differentiation under conditions of the left DST shift and the formation of the faults and ring structures rotating counterclockwise in the adjacent zones. This phenomenon was explained at the level of the regional integrated geophysical studies using 3D modeling and structural-geodynamic analysis [92]. Integrated analysis of geological-geophysical data from the Sea of Galilee and Carmel (Atlit) areas indicates that both mentioned terranes and the MTB were moved in the Mesozoic from the east to the west in a counterclockwise direction. The paleomagnetic studies in the Carmel area showed that the Triassic-Jurassic ophiolite complex underlying the Aptian-Albian traps of the Mt. Carmel (within the Galilee-Lebanon terrane) contrastssharply with the Mesozoic and sedimentary rocks penetrated by traps. These traps of the Late Jurassic-Neocomian age precede the Late Jurassic-Neocomian phase of joining MTB to the Gondwana. The paleomagnetic profile constructed in the Carmel-Galilee region along the top of the accumulative leveling surface of the Lower Cretaceous traps is of essential importance: it unmasks key episodes of a complex geodynamic history of the easternmost Mediterranean. The paleomagnetic profile Kinnarot Valley--Sea of Galilee--Hula Basin distinctly shows different amplitudes of subsidence of the Late Cenozoic sedimentary formations and traps related to the Sogdiana paleomagnetic superzone.
