给出了在红海进行的一次密集地震调查的结果。对20条地震折射线的分析无疑表明，不仅仅是红海的中央海槽，更多的物质被具有海洋特征的地震速度所覆盖。此外，我们经常发现长达5公里的蒸发岩。结合磁力和重力数据，对红海结壳在其大部分宽度范围内可能具有海洋性质的说法进行了研究。我们的结论是，没有证据表明在中新世有大规模的海底扩张。简要讨论了这一点在相邻特征方面的含义。
The results of an intensive seismic survey in the Red Sea are presented. Analysis of twenty seismic refraction lines leaves no doubt that much more than just the central trough of the Red Sea is underlain by material with a seismic velocity which is characteristic of oceans. In addition, up to 5 km of what we interpret as evaporites were regularly found. The suggestion that the Red Sea crust could be oceanic in character over the major part of its width is examined in conjunction with magnetic and gravity data. We conclude that there is no evidence against sea floor spreading on a substantial scale in the Miocene. The implications of this in terms of neighbouring features is briefly discussed.
