On the ridge topography origin at the TINRO basin floor (Sea of Okhotsk)

Abstract

Ridge topography of the basin floor is discussed, the ridges size being defined and their position being mapped on the basis of precision measuring. The author considers hydro- and lithodynamic environment of the contact zone at the basin's floor and concludes on hydrogenous-gravitational nature of the ridges on the basis of their geomorphic and hydrologic parameters.
