Abstract

Based on digital elevation model the geomorphological zoning of the Belomor-Kuloy (White-Sea-Kuloy) plateau (northern part of the East European plain) was carried out. The territory of the plateau was divided into 7 geomorphological units. The paper presents new data on the geomorphological and morphostructural features of the territory. Maps compiled are the most detailed at present that distinguishes this work from previous ones. Comprehensive analysis of the various cartographic materials and DEM identifi ed a number of cross-cutting parageneses in the system of crystalline basement, sedimentary cover and modern relief. It is shown that the boundaries of geomorphological units are controlled by faults in the basement. Thus, the tectonics of the region has a signifi cantinfl uence on the topography of the plateau.
