Research Highlights1. We find a recent tectonic uplift (in late Quaternary period), has been detected in the region of lower valleys in the Southern Iraqi Desert.2. Some of the basins was did not exist at the early Quaternary period, which were later formed after formed a fault towards the northeast-southwest.3. The upstream of some valleys basins have exposed to tectonic deformations and build up new upstream basins, which formed as a result of tectonic-fault formation, towards North-South. IntroductionThis study is concerned of identifying the most important recent Morphotectonics processes (Morphotectonics and Neotectonics), which influence in geomorphology of the region and their geologicalgeomorphological evidences. The results of this tectonic activity are represented by sub-surface geological structures. Whereas on the surface of the earth are represented by the topography of land forms of the dry valleys in study area.Obruchev introduced the term "Neotectonics" defining the field as "recent tectonic movements that occurred in the upper part of Tertiary (Neogene) and in the Quaternary, which played an essential role in the origin of the contemporary topography" [1]. The recent Neotectonic constructions are based on a technique that was proposed and developed by a geophysicist [2,3]. Also the term of "Neotectonics" is defined as the movements of the earth's crust that occur during the Late Tertiary and Quaternary periods [4].So we find that the definition of Morphotectonics: a rapidly developing direction of geomorphology, designed to reveal the role of tectonic processes in the formation of the region. The relevance of Morphotectonic studies is due to the need to take into account data on tectonics in the restoration of the history of geologicalgeomorphological development of any region [5].During this study, many field trips were carried out for the southern desert, its basin valleys and determined the geologicalgeomorphological processes it is exposed to, especially tectonic processes. The field work has been extended from 2012 to 2016, the latest of which was 20/8/2016.In order to achieve the objective of this study, the topographic maps of 1: 100.000 and 1:50.000 were used. The satellite image SRTM was also analyses by using Arc Hydrology (ARC GIS 10.2.1) model to derive basins and river networks and extract drainage patterns. The Landsat ETM image satellite in 2013 and the (Erdas Imagine 2014 program) were used to identify the main faults which were compared with the geological map of Iraq 2012.In addition, geospatial data bases were built in Arc GIS 10.2.1 for analysis, interpretation and spatial comparison of spatial features, and activation processes. Based on the geological-geomorphological evidences, the earth shapes that were affected by recent Morphotectonics are clearly determined.Also notice that the importance of this study is to explain the AbstractThe aim of the study is to identify the type and nature of recent Morphotectonic processes Southern Desert of Iraq, as well as to identify the...
