Determination Of Sedimentary Environment Of Al-koot-Betera Project Soils From South- Mesopotamia Plain

Abstract

Soils at Al-Koot-Btera were choosen to determine their sedimentary environments. It is found that there are , five soil series and as mentioned : MF11-MW9-DM97-DM57-DF95 . The five found soil series are of internal well drained ,moderate and imperfect. Their textures vary in moderately,fine and moderately fine. indicating that sediments rang from poorly to very poorly sorting. Values of median diameter Md Ø range between 4.11-7.80 Ø .The relation between the sorting and median diameter shows that 95.24% of samples is a sedimentary environment of aquite river , while 4.76% is aeolian sediments. The values of meso to platy kurtic of most horizon materials rang between 0.67-1.26 Ø .That is to say the samples were exposed to the same sediment environment , and that only 4.76% of the whole samples with lepto kurtic was exposed to different sediment environments.
