Abstract

The activity of the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk mud volcano led to a transformation of the relief both directly of the hill itself, on top of which there is a modern eruptive center, and the surrounding territory, in particular, the valleys framing and draining the mud volcano. Periodic filling and blocking of the valleys with flows of mud breccias, displacement and transformation of watersheds, squeezing of watercourse channels with mud flows has been established. Several varieties of terraces and terrace-like surfaces in the valleys of rivers adjacent to the volcano were revealed: 1) erosion or basement terraces developed in the mud breccias deposits, 2) terraceuvals formed by mud flows overlapping alluvial terraces on the slopes of the valleys adjacent to the volcano, 3) mud volcanic pseudo-terraces formed by breccias of different ages and different lengths, 4) landslide terraces in mud volcanic deposits, 5) pseudo-terraces – fragments of mud breccias dams.
