Abstract
This research deals with tectonic activity and its nature . This is achieved through the use of mathematical equations and tectonic indicators of river valleys. They can be used to monitor the inference of the possibilities of tectonic activity in certain area. The results of the length of the stream (SL) showed that there are three basins with high tectonic activity, which are (2-4-9) and six tectonic basins, which are (3-7-8-11-12-13), while the rest of the basins are active within the medium of tectonic activity. The results of the valley floor value (VF) showed that basins (5-6-9) are highly tectonic and basins (3-14) are with low values. The abnormal topographic values (T) showed that the basins (4-5-9) are highly tectonic and the basins (1-7-8-13) are low tectonic. The remaining topographic values (AF) indicate that the basins (2-6-8-10) are highly tectonic, while the basins (1-5-11-12-13) are within the current decline values. From the above, it is clear that the highest percentage of the basins are within the average values of tectonic activity.
