Geomorphological processes and the resulting Land Form in Wadi Al-Rahimawi basin - west of Najaf

Abstract

The Al-Rahimawi Basin occupies an area of ​​(1256) km², within the western plateau of the Najaf Governorate, as the basin is located within the stable Shelf, Un Folded Zone, as for physiographically, it is mostly located within the lower valleys region and the remainder within the Al-Hajarah region.

 The research aims to reveal the geomorphological processes of the Wadi Al-Rahimawi basin and the landsform resulting from them and the extent of the influence of the natural geographical factors represented by the geological situation, the characteristics of the surface, climate, water resources, soil and natural vegetation on these processes.  The wind and the landsform that resulted from these processes, such as valleys, meander, cliffs, Slopes, Messa, Buttet, evedance Rocks, Sebkha, springs, desert Pavment, Ventifact, wind holes, sand shadows, sandy basements, and Rapple.

 the Wadi Al-Rahimawi the geomorphological processes the geological situation, the characteristics of the surface, climate, water resources, soil and natural vegetation on these processes,
