A GENETIC ORDER OF LINEAR CORRASION FORMS OF THE ROCK RELIEF OF MOUNTAINOUS MIDDLE ASIA

Abstract

Rock landforms of the mountain countries of arid climate are characterized by an intensive development of specific gravitational and denudational forms, the deposition of which is connected with tectonic fracturing, while their development depends on the corrasion of an impact or scrape type. Described isf a genetic order of corrasion forms of rock relief. The corrasion forms are the following: rock joints and chimneys rock chu­tes, corrasion troughs and corrasion valleys. The analysis of corrasion forms is very important for studying the history of development of mountain relief.
