Abstract
The inductive capacity of rain was measured by using the Arnolds-Furnier index, and according to this indicator, the inertial capacity of rain is weak, as it reached 8.85, and this value does not reflect the intrinsic capacity of the real rain because the rain falling in the study area is of a stormy type, as it falls in very heavy quantities in a very short period of time. The volume of water erosion was 0.0069 m3 / km2 / year by using the Douglas equation, while the values of soil susceptibility to water erosion varied between 0.51 - 0.48. It was also noted that the study area was affected by cover erosion, water erosion, and gully erosion. Water erosion resulted in a range of landforms, including watery sedimentary forms represented by water valleys, piedment, and mesa, while the water sedimentary forms were limited to the sediments of valley bottoms of varying sizes, which ranged from mud deposits to boulders and rock blocks that were swept away by torrential torrents.
