Abstract

Rock behavior varies with different erosions, which depends on the inherent and environmental characteristics of the rock. In other words, some petrological units are susceptible to erosion and have sediment production potential. This study is conducted to investigate the sensitivity to erosion and resistance of rock formations of Fars group (Mishan limestone, Aghajari sandstone and Gachsaran Anhydrite) and Asmari formation using Selby method in Behbahan, Gachsaran, Deylam and Dehdasht areas. Results of analysis of ANOVA variance based on the comparison of 81 samples from 4 types of rocks showed that there was a significant difference between the rocks (p= 0.05).In general, the Asmari limestone with scoring mean of 66.72-70.99 is the most rock resistant based on theSelby method. Mishan, Aghajari limestone, Gachsaran Anhydrite will be in the next ranks, respectively.
