Geomorphological indication of cryogenic and not cryogenic middle-taiga landscapes in Central Siberia

Abstract

The region of permafrost in the downstream of Podkamennaya Tunguska is under consideration. Indication of cryogenic and not cryogenic landscapes was fulfilled on the basis of data on geomorphological structure and recent geomorphological processes. The distribution of cryogenic landscapes, frozen rocks and thaw rocks, and therefore the landscape structure of the ecotone zone depend mostly on macrogeomorphologic pattern of the territory - planation belt and cutting belt of relief. Each of them has specific combination of natural factors, including geomorphological ones, which determine the exact distribution of cryogenic and not cryogenic landscapes.
