This study combines structural, remote sensing (RS), geophysical, and seismic activity data to examine and analyze the relationship between tectonic structures and seismotectonic activity in Egypt. In a new seismo-lineaments map of Egypt, tectonic lineaments of the Egyptian mainland were delineated and classified. The database contains 8000 lineaments that were divided into distinct geographical zones using statistical analysis and general features. Delineated lineaments were integrated with digitized geological and geophysical surface and subsurface faults and geographic information systems (GIS) processing techniques were applied to produce 4249 faults. The spatial distribution of seismic activity was determined to extract 1968 competent faults out of 4249 capable faults (i.e., greater than 10 km and suitably orientated concerning the existing stress field). Maximum expected magnitudes (Mmax) were calculated for distinct seismogenic locations in Egypt, taking into account the nature of the regional rupture. At the national scale, empirical scaling relations between fault lengths and earthquake magnitude were employed for all mapped faults in Egypt. The findings concerning the faults were highly consistent with traditional geological information. The results suggest that our technique for estimating the highest predicted magnitudes produces similar values and might be used to evaluate Egypt\u2019s possible future seismic hazard. The results were compared to seismic databases. The similarity of our results with those reported in the catalogs lends confidence to the proposed scheme.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14236151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]],"date-time":"2022-12-05T05:31:32Z","timestamp":1670218292000},"page":"6151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Seismo-Lineaments in Egypt: Analysis and Implications for Active Tectonic Structures and Earthquake Magnitudes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1767-1201","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sayed S.
