Fluctuations of lakes levels as an indicator of the recent tectonic movements in the Transbaikalian region

Abstract

The article deals with problems of origin and levels fluctuations of lakes in the Transbaikalian region. On the basis of geomorphiological observations and analysis of documents we concluded on the connection between large fluctuations of the lakes levels and the recent tectonic activities. Climatic hypothesis cannot be accepted as the fluctuations in abjacent lakes are often heterochronous.
