Abstract

The description of the morphology of catchment funnels and their distribution within the Sikhote-Alin and Chernogorie is given. These landforms are considered as independent elements of geomorphological zoning in the upper parts of any catchment basin. The main features of quaternary deposits (lithocomplexes) correlated to catchment funnels are considered. Their formation proved to be durable and effected by denudation intensity changes caused by tectonic and climate. The characteristics were determined, which make it possible to distinguish clacial circus from catchment funnels.
