Abstract

Based on the analysis of about 850 borehole sections and published data on the geology of the region, a paleogeomorphological scheme of the Belarusian Polesie Area in the Muravian interglacial was made. It shows that the earth's surface at that time was more dissected than now, elevation marks reached 150 m (at the present time – 120 m). Sublatitudinal zoning was clearly manifested in the relief and expressed in the alternation of bands of high and low relief.
 The same genetic types as in the modern relief prevailed. However, there were certain differences: in the interglacial
 period large areas were occupied by glacial formations, the outliers of denudation lowlands, which are composed of Cretaceous, Paleogene-Neogene rocks and almost absent now, were presented, glaciolacustrine surfaces were widespread. The constructed paleogeomorphological scheme can be used for study of the direction of natural processes development in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene.
