On terrace analysis methods as applied to morphostructural studies (with special reference to Soviet Central Asia mountains)

Abstract

Existing methods of fluvial terraces tracing along valleys are discussed with reference to the Central Asia Mountains, the origin of various terrace levels and alluvial horizons being considered. Representative, non-representative and intermediate types of levels and horizons are distinguished, having in mind a possibility to use them in the structural and morphostructural analysis.
