Overview

Analysis reveals high-risk morpho-tectonic zones in Wadi Ghweiba drainage system, highlighting neotectonics' role in landform development.

Key Points

  • The research aims to analyze the impact of neotectonics on the drainage system of the Wadi Ghweiba Basin.
  • Utilized GIS and DEM for spatial analysis of drainage systems
  • Analyzed geomorphic parameters and current seismicity data
  • Categorized sub-basin catchments based on morphometric characteristics
  • Developed a morpho-tectonic model integrating seismicity with morphometric maps
  • Identified hazard zones in Wadi Ghweiba Basin: 34.9% low-risk, 22.1% intermediate, 43.0% high-risk
  • Revealed significant links between active tectonics and drainage networks
  • Demonstrated the influence of neotectonics on landform features and hazard zones
