Morphostructural analysis of geomorphic levels of Western Tataria

Abstract

The paper describes a structural-geomorphological approach to neotectonic studies of the «covered» area of Western Tataria. Relative values are found of positive deformation of the Volga River terraces and a polygenetic surface of planation at the Volga - Sviyaga interfluve; the data are used for the neotectonic Movements appraisal and local structures identification within the sedimentary mantle.
