Abstract

A geomorphological scheme of the shelf of the North-East Black Sea has been compiled, showing submarine terraces, «marginal bar» or system of bars and the shelf's edge. Analysis of the present-day abrasion processes allows concluding that the terraces are regularly formed at depths less than 20 meters and more than 60 to 70 meters. A simple mathematical model of shelf evolution is introduced.
