Journal of Applied Science Issue (11) September (2023) 41 GEOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF WADI ABOU AL GOMEL, WEST, TOBRUK CITY, NORTHEAST LIBYA Ahmed Mohammed Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Tobruk University, Tobruk, Libya ahmed.mohammed@tu.edu.ly Abstract This study has been carried out in Wadi Abou Al Gomel area in the eastern region of the Libyan seacoast, which lies between latitudes N32°03’00 N32°08'30 and Longitudes E23°45' 00 E23°52'00. This area has specific geological features, where the different rock formations exhibit good exposures that give a clear view of the stratigraphic column. The exposed formations belong to Al Faidiyah and Al Khowymat Formations. The main objective of the study is to evaluate some features namely lithology, stratigraphic analysis, fossil distribution, and structural features. The results of field surveys, supported by photo interpretation, have led to the classification of coastal geomorphological features, which outlines the processes and related deposits and landforms. Field observations and the obtained data revealed that the area has been affected by variable geological factors and changes in depositional environments, in addition to tectonic movements that led to the formation of various structures such as normal faults, fissures, joints, and unconformities. Keywords: Geological; Geomorphological; Al Faidiyah; Al Khowymat; Libyan Northeast. Introduction Because this area has not been thoroughly studied, this study will highlight the geological characterizations and geomorphological features that have characterized this area namely lithology, stratigraphy, structures and fauna distribution as well as some structural patterns. Since the 18th century, geomorphologists have tried to explain landforms using various theoretical frameworks. This means that the explanation for landforms development rests on geomorphic processes occurring at present. In other words, that old landforms can be studied in the light of present processes. This consistent idea led to the relatively early development of climatic geomorphology, a concept that was first introduced by (De Martonne, 1913) in the publication Le climate, facteur du relief.
