Principles of local morphostructures identification in the Volgograd region

Abstract

Local morphostructures are identified on the basis landscape-geomorphic indicators of neotectonic and recent tectonic movements. The geo-indicators are chosen taking into account their anomalous characteristics (in comparison with the geomorphic background) , spatial location and tectogenic nature. The morphostructures themselves are mapped taking into consideration all the geo-indicators on the basis of sequential and preventive analysis. The study results in the structural-geomorphological map of analytic type.
