Geomorphic factors in rural population density in the middle reaches of the Volga River (on evidences dated to the 20th century beginning)
Abstract
Spatial distribution d renal population over area of the Volga drainage basin is mostly controlled by environmental and historical factors; there have beam found however some distinct anomalies, both positive and negative, which are azonal in essence and depend on local geomorphic and geological characteristics.
Some feedback; are ago traced: the rural population density determines the scale of its agricultural activities, which in turn control direction and rate of many geomorphic processes, the erosion first of all. The processes account for changers in topography along with changes in the surficial deposits composition.
