Abstract

The research addressed the mechanism of applying geomorphological indicators in tectonic activation using remote sensing techniques and geographic information systems, with the aim of detecting areas of tectonic weakness as a result of recent tectonic activity in the Atashana Fold. This was done using quantitative standard equations for each geomorphological indicator and relying on the water basin network, which amounted to 41 water basins. Water and extract its values ​​using the tools of geospatial and statistical analysis provided by modern geographical technologies in geographic information systems, and multiple space data and information such as DEM and Landsat 8 satellite images. The results reached by the researcher revealed the presence of effective tectonic activity in most parts and basins of the research area. The western and southwestern regions witnessed high tectonic activity due to the influence of modern Alpine movements on this side of the region. This influence or activity extended towards the eastern side of the fold, and the activity was moderate and weak in the middle and north of the fold in the study area.
