Tectonic influence on glacial landforms formation in Byelorussia

Abstract

Tectonic deformations had a strong influence on the distribution of glaciation at Byelorussia during Pleistocene. Velocity and direction of ice movements were repeatedly changed that affected the completeness of Pleistocene stratigraphy, thickness and distribution of separate layers. Very clearly tectonic influence shows at distribution and size of marginal glacial complexes and in their inner structure. Linear elements of glacial relief controlled by faults are frequent.
