Received: 5 January 2019 Accepted: 26 February 2019 The Nile Delta is the largest clastic accumulation in the Mediterranean Sea and has been deposited within a region of significant Cenozoic tectonic activity. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the crustal thickness and seismic strain rate that impacts the Nile fan deposits; in conjunction with studying the interaction between salt tectonic and plate tectonics in this basin. Bouguer anomalies, crustal thickness and seismic strain were calculated using several equations. The Eastern Mediterranean has gravity anomaly varied from -40 to 210 mGals indicating the changing of the crustal thickness. The crustal thickness of the Hellenic Arc moving above Africa is faster than Turkey towards the Cyprus Arc. The movement variation between them is about 6 mm/y. This displacement distance is assumed to be achieved in about 10 million years. The seismic strain release is abruptly increase started from the Mediterranean Ridge towards the Aegean Sea where the maximum values located along the Hellenic Arc. Also, there are some clusters in the southern and northern Crete, which have high seismic strain release. The deformed fault-block movement is related to the impacts of strike-slip movements, growing salt diapirs. The north-western side of the Nile deep fan deposit characterized by the formation of a series of salt folds and reverse faults above the Messinian evaporites which related to the compressional/subduction tectonics of the adjacent Mediterranean Ridge. These activities are associated with many clusters of mud volcanism along the southern part of the Hellenic and Cyprus arcs which separate both basins. The pre-Messinian sequences structures are related to a classic gravity-spreading deltaic tectonics. The structure reservoir along Nile delta effected and suffers from the subduction of the African plate beneath Eastern Europe and the impact of the salt tectonics.
