Age indication of the Mountain Crimea gravitational formations (case study of the South Demerdzhy Mountain)

Abstract

The analysis of the Demerdzhy structure elements age using lichenometrical technique gives a possibility to establish the character and succession of its development stages. It has been established the recurrency of gravitational processes manifestation in this region, a series of individual collapse bodies revealed, periodicity of their formation traced. The correlation of collapse age with dates of ancient and modern earthquakes indicates the leading role of the seismic factor in the gravitational structure development.
