RELICTS OF PAST CLIMATES IN RELIEF OF EURASIA

Abstract

During the Meso-Cenozoic time, changes of climate resulted more than once in that exogenic morphogenesis types replaced one another and relief underwent restructuring. It should be noticed, however, that though new land-forms evolved in the process, some of older once persisted as relicts from former climates. There is a distinct zonality in distribution of relict landforms over plains of Europe.
