Структурно-геоморфологический очерк Западно-Австралийской котловины

Аннотация

Structure and morphology of the West Australian Basin floor and its surroundings are described. Four main levels of the floor are delimited using the notion of topographic zonality, detailed analysis of their morphology allowed to verify the basin's boundaries. Structural-geomorphological elements of the basin's frame are subdivided into two groups those formed simultaneously with formation and evolution of the continental margin and those formed when the zone in front of the basin underwent breaking and subsiding.
