Historic-genetic (diachronical) series of landforms
Abstract
A geomorphic model is developed describing the Earthcrust structures evolution of the geosyncline-platformian type. The model's ability is stressed to replace the study's object (considering some of its attributes). Isomorphism of the model and the Earthcrust structure makes it possible indirect study of the crustal structures using landforms, especially types of structural forms. The geomorphic model under consideration shows that phenomena of geological processes repetition and relative stability of geological bodies cannot be accounted for from rigid deterministic position. The author uses the cybernetic aspect of the «Markov's chain» concept, probabilistic character of the landforms evolution being explained through it. The geomorphological model can be considered as model of diachronical series of landforms.
