The research aims to study the landforms
that are located within Tar Najaf. Which is
located in the northern part of Najaf
Governorate, and it has a northwest-southeast
extension, its length is about 68 km. Its highest
altitude was 130 meters above sea level on the
western side. Its height vanishes as we head
southeast until it reaches 20 meters above sea
level, specifically at the city of Al-Hira. This
tyre is a steep rocky cliff in most of its parts,
some of which have a slope angle of 90
degrees. This rocky cliff has retreated as a
result of water sculpting its lower sides during
the rainy ages. Also, this steep cliff turns into
scattered hills as we head towards its western
side. In addition, the research aims to study the
rock formations of the Tertiary period,
represented by the formations of Injana and AlDibbeh, and the deposits of the Quaternary
time, which are represented by the gypsum
deposits. And the study of climate from the
Quaternary period to the present time, The land
forms formed by geomorphological processes
such as weathering, water erosion and wind
erosion in the aforementioned rock formations
were studied. Which is represented by the
movement of rocky crumbs (crawling, rockfall,
rockslides), and forms of water erosion (rock
edges, cliffs, slopes, cliffs, mesa, houses,
tombs), And forms of groundwater as well as
forms of wind erosion. And the study of the
raw materials (sand, gravel and gypsum)
deposited within the Najaf region, and the
construction industries that depend on these
materials mainly. As the deposits of the
formation of Anjana containing sandstone, And
the deposits of the formation of Al-Dibbah,
represented by the thin wind sediments, In
addition to the gypsum deposits within the
gypsum deposits, raw material for construction
industries, Whether it is for the manufacture of
ready-made concrete, the manufacture of the
cache, the cement bricks (blocks), plaster, or
other construction industries, The research
dealt with suggested industrial places in the
middle of the study area, that would be
complementary or alternative to the industries
already existing in the city of Najaf
