Reflection of fault zones in the topography of eastern Kuznetsky Alatau Mountains

Abstract

Types of bonds are considered which exist between linear landforms and tectonic zones. Two examples are given of correlation between geologic structure and tope-morphostructural situation. Based on previous experience a conclusion is made that tope-morphostructural maps give an additive reflection of geological effects. As to Kuznetsky Alatau, the most distinct structures in its topofield are those formed during the Mesozoic phase of the tectonic-magmatic activity.
