Geomorphology of the Maritime fault zone

Abstract

Some geomorphic features of the Maritime fault are outlined, which was active during the Late Cenozoic time and related to the Balkalian rift zone evolution. The morphostructure appeared to be inherited from geological and tectonic structure of the region. The deformations and seismic processes within the fault zone created an assemblage .of specific landforms, there exist also a number of pseudo-tectonic elements of topography resulted from human activities and exodynamics.
