Abstract:

 The gravity data were analyzed and interpreted to delineate the main structural trend in North-Western Iraq. Pie-Slice technique applied on the residual anomalies of gravity data with an interval angle of 20o which result seventeen trending maps. The major trends defined in (N45E, N53E, N75E and N60W) and minor trend (N-S and N68W) this trend generally related to deep structural and to detect their effects on the surface used lineaments that extracted from Landsat Satellite Imagery. Prominent direction of lineaments (N45E-N55E and N40W) and less prominent direction (N45W and N25W), Generally the final results show lineaments trend coinciding perfectly with trend of subsurface structures in NE direction and but shifted about (15o) in NW direction.
