Морфоструктурное районирование и некоторые гидрогеологические особенности Западной Сирии

Аннотация

Hydrogeological conditions at the West Syria area are controlled by morphostructures. The morphostructural evolution was inherited from the end of Miocene, since most part of the area came into continental stage and the mountain frame was formed. During Pleistocene the mountains were eroded which resulted in the planation of the relief. Differentiated tectonic movements took place again along the inherited faults, as well as volcanism. Most contrasting topography was formed at the Arabian rift zone in the end of Pleistocene, Comparison of the present hypsometric position of the Upper Pliocene planation surface and remnants of Miocene topography in the mountains reveals the contrasting tectonic movements amplitude being about 11500-2000 meters within Antilebanon-Palmiric avlakogene, up to 3000 meters within the rift zone and about 200-400 meters at the Aleppo uplift.
