Abstract
The study investigates the characteristics of the fault escarpment in the research area، aiming to analyze the geomorphological processes that have shaped the distinctive landforms of the region. The paper reviews the impact of tectonic activities and geological faults on the formation of the fault escarpment، as well as examining the effects of erosion and weathering on its development. Additionally، it addresses the role of watercourses in shaping the region's geomorphology through erosion and deposition processes. The study analyzes the various geomorphological features that characterize this area، with a focus on the relationship between geological and environmental interactions in the formation of the fault escarpment.
