Abstract

Geomorphological evidence from field studies and remote sensitivity indicates that Konba Cave belongs to the model of karst caves، and is one of the largest undiscovered and uninvested Kurdish caves. The cave consists of one entrance that can enter the adult human being، then a narrow passage that bends into two wings that are not similar in the environment and characteristics and direction towards (east and west)، then two passages of cavities branching from the left wing، the length of the cave different distance، the right wing with the arched shape Vaulted extends for 100 meters، and the left wing extends for 25 meters to breathe into two corridors connected to a high hilly karst hall on the right so that it is connected to the right cavity characterized by various karst forms as well with The vaulted-arched shape، the left cavity is triangular-pyramidal at the bottom and its pointed top in the ceiling، extending a very long distance estimated at (3 km)، the limits of the researcher's study were limited to only 600 meters.
