Abstract | ||
A neotectonic map of Iraq was constructed according partly to the work of Soviet team during eighties of the last century. The lower surfaces of Upper Miocene are chosen to be a datum for the construction. This is because the mentioned datum was considered to be surfaces or phase of tectonic stability leading one to calculate the intensities of down warping and up warping movements with their associated rates. The mentioned intensities and rates are represented by isoclines on the constructed map.The constructed map depended on relatively recent available data from oil wells and surface geological surveying Four supplementary maps established surrounding the constructed map for the purpose of comparison. | ||
