Morphostructural plan and ancient shorelines of Dalnezelenetsky region, Murmansk shore

Abstract

Geomorphologic investigations of large scale and distance data deciphering helped to distinguish the system of Holocene coastlines in the region. It was shown by comparison of their pattern and genetic types with morphostructural features that they coincide with the series of graben-like depressions. These depressions are transversal to the seashore and were formed by N-Q stress-field on the North of Kola peninsula and adjacent shelf.
