Abstract
Neotectonic arched and block uplands are characterized by general uprise and have no intermountain basins and other inner depressions. These landforms have dimensions of structural zones, they are of arched, block or charriage-thrust origin, occur in the young mountain belts, may be rejuvenated, regenerated or platform formations. Their origin sometimes may be accompanied by volcanism, but the leading role belongs to isostasy, lateral compression of the lithosphere, lifting of the rift shoulders on the shelf. Arched uplands often have sustained development through epochs of tectonic activity and denudation flattening.
