Paleogeomorphological interpretation of glacial erosion in glacial relief of North Baikal region

Abstract

Regularities in topographic steps position are discussed in connection with Pleistocene glacial history as well as the steps' reworking by postglacial processes. Special attention is paid to glacial cirques orientation with regard to ridges axes, distinct asymmetry in their position being noted. Morphology and history of development of equiplains (surfaces due to glacial erosion) are also discussed.
