MORPHO-MANIC PROCESSES AFFECTING THE SEDIMENTARY PLAIN IN ANBAR PROVINCE

Abstract

The research dealt with Morpho-manic processes affecting the sedimentary plain within Anbar province, as the geomorphological study of the region was based on field study, maps and photographs, and the morphological processes represented by physical, chemical and life changes, which clearly influenced the preparation of surface materials for subsequent geomorphological processes have a prominent and important role in changing and altering the forms of the earth's surface,  The climatic processes included physical weathering, which was represented by thermal change and weathering due to frost, saline weathering and natural weathering by living organisms, chemical weathering, which consisted of watering, coding and oxidation, as well as life weathering.  The main factor that has stimulated these processes is the climate within the region, which has a semi-dry to dry climate, as well as the extent to which sedimentary rocks respond to these processes because of their uneven rigidity.
