Abstract

The author suggests to consider as the object of general geomorphology not the relief of the Earth, but the total sphere of morphogenesis. It includes the landscape geosphere and the lithosphere. Its upper boundary coincides with the maximum height of the dust transport in the atmosphere – the troposphere-stratosphere boundary, the lower boundary coincides with the lithosphere bottom. As an elementary geomorphic system the author considers the smallest mineral particles moving by endogenous or exogenous forces during formation and evolution of landforms.

The main purpose of morphostructural analysis is to distinguish the dislocations which play the main role in the formation of the endogenic basis of the given area relief. Morphostructures are the objects of morphostructural analysis. The aim of morphotectonics – morphological and geodynamic typing of the structural plan elements with the use of geomorphic data. Geologic structure and conformal relief represent the object of morphotectonics.

Keywords

geomorphological terminology, subject of investigations, sphere of morphogenesis, geomorpho- logic sistem
