Geological magazine : Vol. 123 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1986Summary: Interactive digital processing of multispectral satellite images (Landsat MSS) using principal components transformations and spatial filtering has clarified the position of continuous sutures linking apparently isolated Pan African (late Proterozoic) ophiolites. These have been field-checked and an arrangement of Pan African suture zones is proposed. Spatial filtering has also highlighted faults with various trends which can be related to the late Precambrian tectonics of the Horn of Africa region.
