Geomorphology of Jeddah Governate, with Emphasis on Drainage Systems

open access: closedJournal of King Abdulaziz University-Earth Sciences, 2009
Jeddah Governate comprises three distinct geomorphological zones; the Red Sea and shore features, the coastal plain, and coastal hills and pediments. The last zone lies east of the municipal Jeddah city and consists of low lying hills, and an elongated N-S oriented depression, forming a basin that lies within the coastal hills.

Structural control on drainage network and catchment area geomorphology in the Dead Sea area: an evaluation using remote sensing and geographic information systems in the Wadi Zerka Ma’in catchment area (Jordan)

open access: closedEnvironmental Earth Sciences, 2016
The geology of Jordan is characterized by fault systems with three major trends: (1) NW–SE, the oldest, (2) WNW–ESE, and (3) NNW–SSE, the youngest. The drainage network of the Wadi Zerka Ma’in catchment area, located in the middle of the Dead Sea rift, parallels these structural orientations.

Geomorphological analysis of paleo drainage systems and their environmental implications in the desert of Kuwait

Environmental Geology, 1997
A well-developed drainage network is carved in the hard calcretized and gypcretized gravelly sand of the Pleistocene Dibdibba Formation in northern Kuwait. The present-day aridity suggests that these drainages were developed during pluvial episodes that took place in the post-Pleistocene time and, therefore, are considered as paleo-drainage.

Geomorphological analysis and evolution of an altered floodplain drainage system. The case of the Partido Stream (Spain)

CATENA, 2014
The Partido Stream is a small torrential course that flows into the marsh of the Doñana National Park, an area that was declared a World Heritage Site in 1994. Before 1981, floods occurred, and the stream overflowed onto a floodplain. As an old alluvial fan, the floodplain has its singular orography and functionality.

Drainage Basin Morphometry Analysis in Parts of South Shillong Plateau, Meghalaya: Implications for Landscape Development

Spectrum: Science and Technology, 2021
The Shillong Plateau is characterised by multiple phases of deformation and number of prominent sets joints/fracture system. The Southern Shillong Plateau unlike the northern part is highly dissected by the scarp faces which are mostly erosional.

Tectonic geomorphology assessment of neotectonics in the north of Damghan Region, Alborz Mountain Belt, Northern Iran

, 2021
In mountain ranges, recent and active tectonics can be viewed as the main factor contributing to rock uplift, their present-day topography being the result of the competition between tectonic and erosional processes.

Linking mid-scale distributive fluvial systems to drainage basin area: geomorphological and sedimentological evidence from the endorheic Gastre Basin, Argentina

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2016
Abstract The analysis of mid-scale distributive fluvial systems (DFS) provides an opportunity to study fluvial depositional patterns in sedimentary basins in a manner similar to megafans, but under the more homogeneous external conditions that control small alluvial fans from the source area to the depositional area. Four mid-scale Quaternary

The Influence of Scale in Climatic Geomorphology: A Case Study of Drainage Density in West Malaysia

, 1973
The scale factor in studies of climatic geomorphology is examined by presenting data, at three separate scales of analysis, on the relationship between one aspect of landform, drainage density, and a conceptual model of the denudation system, based on ...
