Geomorphic features of Pravoberezhnaya Ukraine revealed at TV space images

Abstract

Space TV images (made by «Meteor» satellites) have been interpreted and two systems of dislocations - Pravoberezhnaya and Volynskaya - were identified within plain Ukraine. The systems are pre-conditioned by geomorphic features of the area. Teсtonics was main f actor during the uplands formation. The author gives evidences the uplands to be formed by crustal tangential stresses directed from S and SW. Distinct character of geomorphic features at the photoes proves the stresses are active up to now.
