Abstract
Through the study and application of tectonic geomorphological indicators, it was found that the basins in the region have a high tectonic index, as the region suffers from continuous seismic activity and recurrence of earthquakes. Tectonic activity indicates the severity of the ruggedness of the basins and the slope in the region and the recurrence of landslide risks and the activity of the effectiveness of geomorphological processes. By using the equations of tectonic geomorphological indicators for the basins, which indicate or indicate the presence of tectonic activity, the river network was extracted through the digital elevation model (DEM) and the region was divided into six basins, then the equations of tectonic geomorphological indicators were applied, these indicators were collected and a model was designed to show the degrees of tectonic activity for the selected basins in the region
