Просадочные формы рельефа в Западном Предкавказье

Аннотация

Landforms due to subsidence result from epigenetic increase in density of thick cover loess series. Their formation is controlled by subaerial relief-forming processes, i. e. erosion, piping, leaching, processes due to gravity, privation, abrasion and regelation. In the genetic sequence of negative landforms first are shallow saucer-like depressions and second-more pronounced basins. These forms affect hydrotechnique, industrial and civil engineering, housing and agriculture. Arable lands where the subsidence landforms appeared should be meliorated.
