Contrasts in morphosculptures within mobile belts

Abstract

A comparative analysis of morphosculptures of the intracontinental mountains of Central Asia and of region of continental margin in the Far East reveals considerable differences in exogenic morphogenesis of the regions; the differences are due to both zonal climatic factors and to hypsometric position. Certain similarities in geomorphic processes are traced in both subaerial and submarine spheres of morphogenesis. Rates of the processes are assessed, distinguished into normal (background), anomalous and extremum.
