Abstract

Geomorphological map provided medium-scale zoning of Moscow urban areas in the new borders. The area of Moscow was divided into geomorphological regions, districts and subdistricts, representing landforms of different ranks, reflecting the neotectonic structures. They differ in geology, including genesis, structure and thickness of the Quaternary cover, set and age of morphogenetic complexes of relief, nature of the neotectonic movements. All these conditions influence geological and geomorphological processes that complicatie the economic development of the area. Two large geomorphological regions, which differ distinctly in the landscape morphology and the neotectonic structure, belong to the category of the highest rank: 1) The Smolensk-Moscow Upland that includes such regions as Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya Upland and Moscow-Oka Plain; 2) The Meshcherskaya Lowland that includes the Central-Moscow Hills, Losinoostrovsko-Izmaylovskaya and Moscow-Yauza Plains. In turn, they are divided into areas and the subareas. Areas of river valleys are found in all regions. These are the valleys of the largest rivers – Moscow (east from Zvenigorod), Desna, Pakhra and Mocha. They all are located in the Late Cenozoic erosional-tectonic depressions, possibly, in rupture and fissuring zones. The compiled map can be used both in the studies of neotectonics structures and modern activity of the tectonic movements, and in geological engineering purposes.
