The morphological characteristics of this regionwere shaped by the nature of the fault. By means of combination techniques of remotely sensed andDigital Elevation Model (DEM) data a 3-D (three-dimensional) model can begenerated. Afterwards, the produced 3-D model of the study region can be effectivelyused in examining the aforesaid features and various other associated analyses.In this study, the DEM data is obtainedby digitizing 1/25,000 scaled maps and Landsat5 TM data. A novel method is used todefine the region’s geomorphology through merged digital elevation model (DEM)and remotely sensed data. The morphometric analyses of our study identifiedfive erosion surfaces and indicated that the active faults contributed to themorphological development of the study area. Moreover, another hypothesis derivedfrom our study is that the formation of the elevated areas was caused by faultcompressional force components and formation’s linear features were produced bythe strike-slips.
