Neotectonic structures manifestation in the Issyk-Kul region

Abstract

Neotectonic structures-topography relation has been revealed. Neotectonic Kungei, Trans-Ilian and Terskei uplifts correspond to mountain ridges of the same names. In the highest parts of the structures the alpinotype topography is prevalent. At the structures flanks broken with longitudinal and transversal faults an erosional topography is formed, separate fragments of planation Surfaces still existing. Aggradational topography dominates within the Issyk-Kul basin. Zones of mountain ridges-basin floor contact are of especially complicate structure and of higher seismicity.
