Abstract: The geophysical techniques; the electromagnetic radiation and vertical electronic sounding were used in this study for achieving our goals. The major objective of this study is to investigate and evaluate the active faults, fractured zones and the subsurface sinkholes along the Eastern shores of the Dead Sea. The faults and the fractures consider weakness zones of the submarine groundwater discharge. Then by determining the subsurface structures, features control the submarine groundwater discharge into the Dead Sea. The first EMR profile was started at coordinates 31¢X 410 28.1800 N and 35¢X 340 38.8700 E at the South Sweimah area at the northern part of the Dead Sea. Many fractured zones were found along this profile. A main highly fractured zone was observed at a distance between 790 and 1500 m to the north of the starting point. Another one was observed between 880 and 1000 m to the north of the starting point. A few sinkholes were observed between distances!
of about 890 m and 1265 m to the north of the starting point. The main sinkhole was recognized at a distance of 2718 to 2730 m to the north of the starting point. The second EMR profile was carried out at the coordinate of 31¢X 4362.700 N and 35¢X 35 33.400 E. The geological features were found at distances of 2455 to 2460 m from the starting point and many of the active fault and joints were found along this profile at distances intervals of about 310-315 m, 660-665 m and at 695-700 m from the starting point. The main interesting areas were found at the distance of 2440-2450, 2635-2643 m from the starting point. The main fractured zones were found between 2490 and 2505 m and from 2330 to the end of the profile at coordinates 31„a 45„S 45.07„S„S N and 35„a 34„S 33.48„S„S E. The vertical electrical sounding profile shows that The first shallow zone is located at offset between 0 and 40 m the second zone located at offset between 320 and 390 m and 12 m deep from the surface!
. The vertical distortion of resistivity values at horizontal distance
