Морфологические типы орогенов как показатели геодинамических условий их формирования и развития

Аннотация

Morphologic features of orogens may serve as indicators of their geodynamic conditions. Linear systems of asymmetric ridges and basins are characteristics of compression orogens. There are piedmonts, inner ridges, incised river valleys in the basins. Tension orogens consist of asymmetric ridges with steep slopes and flat-bedded, often lacustrine, wide or gap-shaped basins without piedmonts. Changes of geodynamic conditions cause the rise of corresponding morphologic peculiarities. Common for all geodynamic conditions are manifestation of the cross structural plane in relief and stadiality of orogens formation.
