Abstract

The research deals with studying and evaluating the Geomorphological hazards in the Eastern sector of the main road linking the Nile Valley in the east and the Kharga Oases in the west. The road such as torrents, movement of materials on slopes (mass wasting),roads detours, movement of dunes and weathering effects, and showing the role of GIS in spatial appropriateness to determine the degrees of hazards and choose the most suitable places for the design of the main road; according to several criteria that have been relied upon, the road extends through the eastern edge of the Eocene limestone plateau, which This led to the narrowness of the road in many parts and exposing it to the hazards of the movement of materials on the slopes in its various forms, in addition to the fact that the road follows the basins of many dry valleys and their tributaries of different ranks, which led to the presence of meanders along the path of the road and its exposure to the hazards of torrential rain, which constitutes a severe Geomorphological hazards. Also, some parts of the road are subjected to movement (shadow dunes) as a result of the vertical extension of the road The study is concerned with the direction of the prevailing winds, and the study is concerned with the geomorphological hazards and the extent of their impact on the transport lines
