Abstract
The analysis of the impact of morphological and climatic processes on the cultural city of Nippur (Nuffar) dealt with watching the most important archaeological cities in southern Iraq. A geographical study, is a study of natural geographical areas and their role in geographical study activities, geographical morphology, mechanics and influences in divergent study. Mechanical weathering is considered one of the most active types of weathering in the region, in addition to the processes of wind and rain erosion and its prominent impact on archaeological monuments. The activity of morphoclimatic processes has been measured. Represented by the processes of rain and wind erosion and the rates of annual climatic susceptibility to wind erosion, the evidence of erosion in the Al-Diwaniyah climatic station was very high. It became clear that the processes of rain erosion have a clear and significant impact on the archaeological sites represented by collision and plate erosion and the erosion of water bodies and grooves, and the sedimentary morphoclimatic processes represented by rain and wind deposition have a clear and significant effect represented by the burial of many archaeological sites in the archaeological area. Also, various environmental disturbances, such as fluctuation, climatic change and geological disturbances, contribute to a very large extent to the instability of these morphological processes and their effects on the study area.
