Neotectonic Khubadag-Balkhan rise is situated at die joint of Turan epihercynian platform and South-Caspian alpine geosyncline. Different parts of rise, fault tectonics and peculiarities of exogenic processes are examined. The importance of paleogeomorphological analysis of coarse sediments is pointed out.
