		The acacia tree - with its chestnut-colored twisted trunk and glossy dark green leaves - is a native of the Wadi Araba in Palestine.
		Even at the end of a hot and arduous Araba summer, the acacia remains green; each tree is a tiny oasis capable of nourishing ibex, deer, hyraxes, and even domesticated animals such as camels and goats.
		It was concluded that the Araba acacias are dependent upon surface runoff, a hypothesis proven by examining a tree's growth rate when measured against the amount of yearly rainfall.

	USING SLICKENSIDES TO UNDERSTAND FAULT MECHANICS ON THE ACTIVE WADI ARABA FAULT, JORDAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Wadi Araba fault (WAF) is one of the main strike-slip faults in the Dead Sea Transform plate boundary, which separates the Arabian plate on the east from the Sinai subplate on the west.
		Structural orientation data were collected from slickenside striations on the fault plane exposed in the area of the intersection of the NE-trending, strike-slip WAF and the dip-slip Khunayzira at the south end of the Dead Sea basin.
		These slickenlines are best observed in the polished pebbles of the upper Pleistocene conglomerates exposed within the deep incisions of the Wadi Khunayzira and Wadi An Nakhbar streams and provide evidence for multiple faulting mechanisms.
