Apical belt of the mountains in the southwestern Near-Baikal region

Abstract

Geomorphology of the apical belt of mountains in the southwestern Near-Baikal region is considered. Regularities of its formation are shown up in a connection with oroclimatic features of the region. An attempt to extrapolate the peculiarities of upper layer of mountain relief to the other sections of the Baikal rift zone has been made.
