Topographic manifestation of local elevations at the lower Volga right bank

Abstract

Many factors account for direct, inverse or intermediate topographic manifestation of local elevations of sedimentary mantle within the lower Volga region. The tendency to form direct or inverse landforms depends firstly on neotectonic regime of structures, distance from large river systems as well as on relief-forming rocks lithology. Degree of topographic manifestation of structures depends on folds size. Most local structures at the right bank of lower Volga River formed inverse landforms during the Pleistocene.
