Morphostructure of the south-western Transbaikalia

Abstract

the paper presents the results of a morphostructural analysis of the territory of southwestern Transbaikalia, based on the construction of stochastic relief models. Morphostructural zoning of the territory was carried out, a block relief structure was revealed, as well as a general linear character with a predominant northeast orientation of the axes. For the largest morphostructural elements, their morphometric parameters were determined, the activity of vertical tectonic movements at the modern and neotectonic stages of development was estimated, which made it possible to conclude that the conditions of weak modern negative vertical tectonic movements are spread. The methodology of morphometric analysis based on stochastic relief models can be included in a set of methods for studying neotectonic and modern tectonic movements in a geological study of the territory of Transbaikalia.
