Geomorphological forms between Khazina and Al-Tayyib in Maysan Governorate using geographic information systems (GIS)

Abstract

    The research aims to study the landforms in the area between Khazeenah and Al-Tayyib in Maysan Governorate, which is located astronomically between two latitudes (31° 45- 10= - 32° 55- 10=) north and longitudes (46° 30- 0= - 47° 15- 7=) to the east, and geographically it is located in the northeastern tip of Maysan Governorate, which has an area of   (3976.19) km2, in tectonic terms it is located within the unstable pavement within the feet of the hills between the Arab plate and the Persian plate.  Quaternary time (Pleistocene and Holocene) represented by valley filling deposits, wind sediments, depressions filling deposits and surface flow deposits, and it was clear through the field study, satellite visuals and aerial photographs that there were six land units, represented by: units of structural origin, stripping units, and land units of origin.  Sedimentary water, units of wind origin, units of evaporative origin, as well as units of human work.
