The Red Sea
The Red Sea region experiences seismic activity primarily due to the tectonic movements associated with the boundary between the African and Arabian tectonic plates. Earthquakes in this area are generally moderate in magnitude, with notable events occurring near the Gulf of Aqaba and the southern Red Sea. While significant earthquakes are relatively rare, the region can experience smaller tremors and occasional larger quakes, which may impact coastal communities. Earthquake monitoring in the area continues to be important for understanding the local geology and seismic hazards.
Jordan has coastlines along both the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea. The Gulf of Aqaba is a northern extension of the Red Sea, and Jordan's southern tip, particularly the area around Aqaba, borders this gulf. Thus, while Jordan is not directly on the main body of the Red Sea, it does have access to it through the Gulf of Aqaba.
