Analysis of the Material Movement Process of Khanouka Fold, North of Salah al-Din Governorate
Main Article Content
Abstract
Many studies are concerned with the movement of materials and the extent of their danger to the population and their side effects on population activity and human settlements located near the mouths of valleys.
The study started from analyzing the factors forming the land appearance, which included a review of the geological history of the region and the ground movements that helped in the formation of cracks and joints leading to rifts, and the impact of the ancient climate and its reflections on the formation of the land appearance in addition to the characteristics of the current climate, in addition to the study of the slope characteristics and vegetation cover.
The study included the analysis of dynamic indicators, as the movement of materials varied from one place to another, and this movement is due in its activity to the morpho-climatic processes. The severe and sedimentary erosion ranges from 5000-20000 m 3 / km 2 / year, and this is a very strong erosion.
