Abstract

The paper describes the first attempt of paleogeomorphological analysis of the complicated heterogeneous relief of Bulgaria. Relief evolution from Pre-Paleozoic till Pleistocene is considered in relation to tectonic regime and paleogeographic conditions changes. 10 main stages are identified as objects for special paleogeomorphological studies. Some scientific and applied tasks of paleogeomorphology in Bulgaria are specified.
