«Wrinkled» slopes at north-west Okhotsk region

Abstract

Previously known from North Okhotsk region so-called «wrinkled» slopes are reported for the first time within North-West Okhotsk. Some results are given of the slopes analysis in Urak, Okhota, Kukhtui, Ulbea drainage basins. Large scale aerial photoes and field observations data were analysed. Aerial photographs were studied using a special device («interpretoscope») Wrinkled slopes were presumably formed under conditions of more humid climate as a result of macrosolifluctiion process.
