Geomorphological processes of valleys and the Mosul Dam lake
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research aims to study the natural factors and their suitability for activating the geomorphological process , which are the cause of the emergence of the phenomenon ( Karst ) dissolution such as karst gaps and caves and other manifestations resulting from the dissolution of rocks for the region , especially the lake and the body of the Mosul Dam , and in order to show the natural environmental factors , where this study was used from Satellite ( GIS ) techniques to represent the site map , topography and geology and proved that they are related to the phenomenon of thawing , especially since the site is under the influence of the formation of the aperture along with the appropriate climate and slope ratio , as the study revealed that these natural environmental characteristics are related to the problem of thawing for the region and after passing time envolves the geomorphological process in the region and has significant effects on it

- The Mosul Dam is one of the most important strategic projects in Iraq. It was established in 1985 and is approximately 60 km northwest of the city of Mosul on the Tigris River. It is of great importance as it is a huge strategic project for Iraq. For filling, the clay core is covered with an earthen mass of gravel and sand that represents the largest part of the dam’s body and is covered with rocky pieces of varying sizes.
