On exogenous component of morphostructures in connection with climatic and other aspects of their study

Abstract

The development of morphostructural ideas often breaks the main methodological principle of geomorphology, i. e. consideration of landforms as resulted from internal and external processes interaction. The error is due to predominance of geological approach to morphostructures, the latter being mixed with tectonic structures. It is necessary to take into account the exogenous component in the morphostructures evolution as well as pay special attention to paleo-climatic aspects in the morphostructural analysis.
