Морфометрический анализ линеаментов Туранской равнины

Аннотация

Lineaments scheme of the Turan Plain has been constructed on» the basis of only topographic maps using simple technique. Some types of relief are identified as unfavorable for lineaments interpretation, those include table plateaus, sloping and sub horizontal plains modeled by wind action.

The lineaments distribution is analyzed with view to their length and direction, lineaments of NW and NE trend being dominant. As far as their distribution, direction and precise position is concerned, the lineaments correspond to known fault lines within the Turan Plain which is considered to be an evidence of their connection with tectonics; the lineaments pronounced in the modern topography are likely active during the neotectonic stage.
