Study of Morphometric Characteristics of Maidan Gel Playa During Quaternary Period

Abstract

Maidan Gel playa in Qatruyeh, terms of political divisions, except Fars and Kerman Neyriz located within the city limits and North East of the basin is connected to the province. Maidan Gel playa, the Sanandaj - Sirjan and folds of the Zagros and its area, 520431000 square meters and a width of between 28 degrees and 39 minutes to 29 degrees and 37 minutes north and longitude 54 degrees 29 minutes to 55 ° and 16 minutes East. The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphometric characteristics of the Maidan Gel playa in the Quaternary period. So, using topographical maps, satellite images, geological map, map faults, geomorphological map, soil map of the region, in the Playa was developed. Mapping existing terrace in Playa field goal arc GIS software. To cause expansion and contraction of the study area were investigated in the Quaternary period. The results showed in Playa border and plain water table is higher than the attrition rate. This kind of sediments in this area is concerned. Changes in water level as a result of fluctuations in the rate of input and output water) evaporation (of the basin takes place.
