Contribution to the discussion of the «m0rph0structure» concept

Abstract

Three approaches exist to the «morphostructure» concept," which is considered to be: a) geologicak manifested in the topography, .b) landform due to tectonic movements (interacting with external processes), c) part of the land Surface which as a whole changes its position with respect to neighbour parts (due to tectonics). The last definition: a) is most general and includes the two others as particular cases taking into consideration all the variety of morphotectonic forms, b) most closely corresponds to the object of geomorphology and structural geomorphology in particular, c) lays within the limits of the latter methods possibility and contributes to its progress.
