Eolian built-up landforms of the Tajik Depression

Abstract

Studies of numerous sections in the loess on watersheds in the Taj'ik Depression revealed the eolian sedimentation to have been the main process in the loess formation, Loess post analysis permits to various elements of buried topography. A variation surface is identified which had been formed at the end GE the Eopleistocene. lt serves now as an important geomorphological marker, its distortions provide information on direction and rate of tectonic Movements during Pleistocene.
