To the methods of studying ancient valleys

Abstract

In the article there are regarded the main problems in studying of ancient valleys as paleogeomorphological objects. A great importance of the comparative analysis of different age valleys within one and the same physico-geographical or geostructural region and of the same age but in different regions is stressed upon. The article recommends methods for comparing valleys by morphology, by displacement in the plan and profile with the examples given. As a result of studying of valleys the article offers compilation of a graph of erosion maxima and of accumulation.
