An integrated paleogeographic and geomorphological subdivision of the Moscow region
Abstract
An integrated paleogeographic and geomorphological subdivision of the Moscow region is suggested based on zonal and provincial features of morpholithogenesis and comparative analysis of various natural components. Most important are considered to be bedrock (Pre-Quaternary) topography, sediments composition in the source areas, sequences of Quaternary deposits and topography. Maps of paleogeographic and geomorphological regions, when compared revealed a good agreement between regions boundaries. The maps may be used as a basis of the land management and assessment of geoecological stability.
