Abstract
In the late Pliocene and Pleistocene onsite the Cretaceous-Paleogene peneplain peripherally the Dzungaria the high mountains occurred and the plain remained in the center as the territory of massive material accumulation which carried out of the mountains. Three main relief levels formed. Top level included high altitude, middle altitude stratum and intermountain basin stratum on the area of 146000 square kilometers. Middle and low levels formed Dzungarian plain on the area of 223,5 square kilometers. Its margin part (middle level) is represented low changed peneplain (28% of the area). Low level in central part organize the following geomorphological stratum: eolian (21%), lake (5%), alluvial-and-proluvial (21%) and stratal plain (11%), proluvial fans (10%) and front ranges – forbergs (less than 1%). Modern and ancient valleys of large streams occupied less than 3% of the plain area.
