Abstract
The research deals with the study of geomorphological phenomena of the drainage basin area of Wadi al-Qelt located between latitudes E °31 '55 ʺ59 and °31 '48 ʺ27 north, and longitudes N °35 '12 ʺ22 and °35 '32 ʺ51 east, and is one of the valleys of the eastern slopes of: the mountains of Ram Allah and Jerusalem, located within the mountain range of central Palestine, and ends in the Jordan Valley in the east of Jericho at the Jordan River coupler, It aims to vary the influence of geomorphological factors in the formation of terrain features, as the geological structure, both rock and tectonic, had the largest role in the geomorphological formation of the region, where doloms and soluble limestone rocks are spread, which resulted in the presence of karst forms, and marlin rocks that can be carved and eroded, which resulted in the active decline of slopes and the intensification of the number of river ranks. The second part of the structure, represented by the tectonic factor, resulted in its impact on the Afro-Asian groove (collapse pit), the direction and intensity of the general slope and the resulting increase in the energy of the valleys on vertical sculpture, deepening and formation of gorges and others, while the second factor represented by the ancient and current climate has clearly appeared its effects in the parts of the drainage basin, where the effects of the current climate appeared by the extreme variation of rain amounts between the parts of the study area, and the impact of the ancient climate was manifested in the lower basin Which was greatly affected by the change in the levels of the ancestor of the Dead Sea, which were alternating those parts, the study followed the descriptive, historical, and analytical approach to describe the geographical reality and its characteristics, trace geological eras, and employ (GIS) technology. It concluded that the basin consists of a set of structural geomorphological phenomena, phenomena resulting from erosion and sedimentation, and phenomena associated with weathering processes, and the study recommended carrying out many geomorphological studies on the region and identifying what abounds in the geography of the Wadi basin Clumping is a morphodynamic, morphodynamic process.
