Abstract

     Based on a study for 16 years of earthquake data in Sulaymaniyah city from 2005 to 2021 almost 11000 earthquakes were recorded, the degree intensity (4.4 Richter) was chosen to be the critical degree for the earthquake and for humans to feel it, After 2005 there was an increase in the number of earthquakes until 2012, in 2013 it was the peak witch reached 238 hitting, in 2014 there was a significant decreasing and kept down, climate change data focused on months of August, October, November and December, changes that occurred in number of sunny hours were studied there was a significant change in 2005 with value (15.5 hours) which gradually decreased to (10.4 hours), there wasn’t a clear evidence linked sunny hours to occurrence of earthquakes, Rainfall tends to increase relatively in some years in December as well as ( 2007, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2018) that were consecutive ( 67, 118, 98.3, 103.6, 185.8 and 315.1 mm) but no evidence connect rainfalls to earthquake occurrence, Temperatures in the months of the study were relatively similar in terms of rise and fall, but the month of December differed slightly in the years 2012 to 2017.No changes noted in October and November in atmospheric pressure values but in December there was a relative increase in most years of study, evaporation rates in December after 2016 there was a relative increase in evaporation rates.
