The role of human activity in the formation of land forms and surface manifestations (Karbala Governorate as a model)

Abstract

Interest in the role of human active in the formation of the Earth's surface and its direct and indirect interference in geomorphological processes, such as weathering, sculpture and sedimentation began in the twenties of the twentieth century, especially in the Western world. agent), as well as his similar article in 1923, in which he compares natural erosion (Natural denudation) and human erosion (Human denudation), pointing out that man as a factor of erosion much stronger than the forces of air erosion combined.
