Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of the Kerch Peninsula was carried out using morphostructural and geomorphological methods, as well as determination of the fractal dimension D of the drainage system. It has been discovered that increased values of the fractal dimension field correlate well with the total uplift amplitude during the Pleistocene and Holocene and worse with the most recent structures formed during the entire uplift stage of development. It can be concluded that the fractal approach for the quantitative analysis of the drainage system pattern gives good results in identifying the most recent movements and is less effective in identifying the most recent structures. The further development of the fractal analysis method is promising based on the condition of the involvement of other drainage system parameters that are widely used in geomorphological analysis.
