Recent geomorphic processes at the territory of the Russia and adjacent countries (some results of summary map compiling, the scale to be 1:2500000)
Abstract
The main results of large collective work at the map of recent geomorphologic processes of Northern Eurasia (the former USSR) are represented. Important space characteristic of exogenous, endogenous and man induced processes are described. The mapping of such processes within the large territory is proved to be possible. The process of recent geomorphogenesis is multifactor one and the existent landforms appear to be the leading of these factors. The straight correspondence between natural zones and space distribution of the geomorphic processes is absent.
