The Karak Wadi Al Fayha Fault (KWF) is a major NW-trending intraplate wrench fault system extending over 325 km from Western in Jordan to Saudi Arabia. Structurally linked the Precambrian Najd System, KWF has been previously mapped using field observations, gravity, magnetic, and reflection seismic methods. However, these approaches lacked vertical resolution necessary characterize its shallow structure, leaving influence on recent deposits surface topography poorly understood. This study employs sections integrated with Digital Elevation Model refine terrain analysis enhance mechanism solutions for determining regional stress pattern. Our results provide compelling evidence of KWF’s upward propagation into surface, as demonstrated by deformation uppermost Cretaceous Cenozoic successions, distinct geomorphic features Model, alignment earthquake epicenters along fault, active landslides associated movement. We suggest that reactivation influenced changing fields Late (Turonian) present. Northwestern Arabian plate undergone multiple tectonic transitions, including WNW–ESE compression Syrian Arc Fold-Belt (Turonian–Plio-Pleistocene) subsequent NNE–SSW extension Red Sea rifting (Neogene–present). suggests latest movements result continued activity Irbid Rift event (Eocene) Dead Transform since Miocene.
