Morphostructures of young and old platform plains: similarity and difference

Abstract

Morphostructures of Russian (East European) and West Siberian platform plains when analysed and compared with morphostructures of other platforms of the Earth strongly suggest that morphostructural features of the plains depend on the position of each plain in global system of of geotectures. The basement's age is concluded to be of secondary importance and should not be taken as a basis for the platform plains classification.
