| Abstract | ||
| Sea level rise, flash floods, faults, Tsunami, Earthquakes and shoreline erosion are a variety of natural hazards regularly threaten the North Western coast inhabitants and Matruh in particular. Large Coastal rock boulders are found at a great distance inland or supratidal zone and upslope from the subtidal zone on Romel coastal shorelands of Marsa Matruh. It proves that large waves like tsunamis and high energy storms have detached, dislocated and triggering them from the submerged plateform of Pleistocene ridge shoreward. The study shows that Romel is considered as hazardeous area in Marsa Matruh coasts and it is recommended to avoid the housing and the problems resulting for constructing tourist villages along the shoreline in these areas. | ||
