Erosional landforms correlation with material components and processes in geological environment

Abstract

Any morphometric anomaly originates in disturbances of mass equilibrium near the land surface which stimulate surficial lithodynamic flows and formation of rnorphostru-ctures of various orders. The mass equilibrium restoration proceeds not only during the tectonic movements but also after the cessation of the tectonic activity. The surface structure changes along with changes in the conditions (formation of various morphosculptures and lithosculptures). The drainage network pattern depends on spatial distribution of bedrock and morphostructures anomalies. Inambiguous interpretation of the data on the surface's structure in terms of geological structure requires analyzing topographic elements of a certain order according to the task under consideration.
