Moderate values for all three parameters are typically concentrated in the central areas of the region. Description of geological factors Fig 7 presents detailed scenarios of geological parameters, including DtF, Geology, Geomorphology, and Soil Texture. Low DtF(a) values are predominantly noted in the east, progressively rising towards the west. The geological map(b) indicates that alluvial predominates in the central and western regions. In terms of Geomorphology(c), prominent high and medium hills, together with ridges, are in the eastern and southeastern regions, while the plains and basins are mostly Fig 7.
