Abstract
The heights and lows of the Earth's globe are the product of ancient tectonic movements and the actions of carving, removal and atmosphere on the Earth. These different shapes and faces affect the climate type of the regions, vegetation cover, soil and human activities. From the point of view of tourism, the heights and lows of the Earth show their importance in two ways: First, the heights and lows and different scenery of the Earth itself attracts tourists Second, the low altitudes are the cause of the formation of favorable climate in the hot seasons, as the temperature drops with sea level rise, rainfall increases and water resources increase, which makes the areas provide both greenery and forests and favorable climate. The aim of this study is to present the various phenomena of altitude and low altitude of the region and the geomorphological landscape of the region and analyze the factors of tourism attraction. The research relies on government data and available sources and aerial images and analyzed through the program (ArcGis10.8) that first classified the elevation and low altitude of the area and determine the degrees of slope and then presented the geomorphological phenomena of the area.
