Abstract

On the outer continental shelf of a northwest part of the Black Sea the detailed researches of bottom relief were fulfilled on two ranges. Bathymetric and geomorphological maps, schemes and survey profiles of a bottom surface were compiled. Shelf edge, submarine valleys and deltas of the Dnieper, Dniester, and other rivers, steps of the terraces formed during the sea regressions (80-100 and 130-140 m below sea level), rills and ridges are the most prominent forms. In the N-Q stage bottom relief formation was governed in the first place by neotectonic movements, and also by accumulation, abrasion, and erosion.

Keywords

shelf, the Black Sea, submarine relief, recent tectonics, accumulation, erosion, abrasion
