The tag applied suggesting a merge is premature. The Jordan Valley (Middle East) is not synonymous with the Jordan Rift Valley. The first refers to a subsection of the Jordan Rift Valley, discussing it as a geographical and geopolitical entity, while the second focuses more on the Jordan Rift Valley as a geological and physiological feature that forms part of the broader Great Rift Valley. Both articles are new and have been tagged as stubs. As they expand (or do not) a reevaluation of whether they can be merged can be undertaken. As it stands, these are less than two days old and need time to develop. Tiamat 05:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
The article states that the tectonic origin of the Jordan valley is currently "highly contested", in terms of contrasting models of strike-slip versus an extensional regime. I don't think that is any longer the case with a broad consensus that the valley has formed by movement on a set of left lateral strike-slip faults with extension caused locally at overlaps between the mainly left-stepping fault segments. In fact the term "Jordan rift valley" is, like the larger feature the Great Rift Valley, mainly a historical concept and not much used by geologists any more (although it still turns up in the geographical, political and hydrological literature). I'm currently working on an expansion of the Dead Sea Transform article and intend, when that's complete, to return here and substantially rewrite the relevant section. If anyone has evidence of any continuing controversy about the valley's origin it would be useful to see it, as I haven't been able to find any. Mikenorton ( talk) 15:26, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
I've move the tourism section and agriculture section (merged) to the Jordan Valley (Middle East). The agriculture section was basically already there. This article is about the geological rift valley and should focus only on that. The demography section should also be moved/merged there. Vsmith ( talk) 23:02, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Merged the demography section there also, as it was mostly duplicated and not relevant to the geology of the rift valley. Vsmith ( talk) 20:14, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Could somebody please explain what this edit is consistant with? If no reasonable explanation is given, I will revert. -- GHcool ( talk) 20:00, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

An etymology is needed. See also Ghor es-Safi, in Syria Ghawr Gharbiyah and Ghawr al-Assi, maybe also the Saudi Ghawar Field.
In the Southern Levant it's a plain inside the deep, hot Jordan Rift Valley, or the entire JRV from the Sea of Galilee till the end of the Dead Sea basin, right? But it probably has a more general meaning, defining a certain geogr. feature. What's the root?

Gulf of Aqaba: 1,850 m, so over 1000 m deeper. Confusion between just on land as opposed to altogether, so also under the sea? But the next sentence deals with exactly that, the lowest point on dry land being the Dead Sea shores! Plain mistake due to misunderstanding and OR (unsourced passage!), or is there some additional parameter or caveat that was left out of the sentence? I can't think of any other than the Gulf of Aqaba not being considered by some as part of the same tectonic fault, but is there such an opinion out there? Or was this just written from an Israeli or Jordanian perspective, forgetting altogether about the gulf? Arminden ( talk) 11:37, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
