Abstract

Each type of natural phenomenon manifests itself in certain conditions at a certain period of time and in a certain territory. For example, for mountainous areas such natural phenomena as mudflows, avalanches, earthquakes are most typical, and for the plains - dust storms, floods. But those and other phenomena can occur on the plains and in the mountains, but the consequences will be different. For example, the slow-flowing water during flooding on the plains and the seething streams of mountain rivers can lead to various negative consequences. Knowledge of the features of natural phenomena and processes makes it possible to prepare in advance for a predicted situation and take measures, which greatly reduces the possible risk. This paper discusses the features of the manifestation of exogenous geological processes characteristic of the mountainous part of the Chechen Republic.

Highlights

  • The mountainous part of the Argun river basin, with the greatest activation of landslide processes, is located south of the Chechen foothill plain, occupies the central part of the mountainous territory of the Chechen Republic

  • Landslide hazard assessment was studied using a set of interrelated methods [1,2,3]: - Study of regulatory and methodological documentation regulating topographic and engineering-geological surveys on landslide ridges and analysis of technical literature; - Collection and analysis of cartographic materials for the study area in order to identify landslide-forming factors; - Cartographic modeling of landslide-forming factors; - Statistical analysis of the results obtained to draw up a map of the zoning of the territory in accordance with its landslide potential

  • Geographic information systems make it possible to assess the landslide hazard of territories, which is necessary for their safe development

Summary

Introduction

The mountainous part of the Argun river basin, with the greatest activation of landslide processes, is located south of the Chechen foothill plain, occupies the central part of the mountainous territory of the Chechen Republic. The main relief forms of the Black Mountains are the meridional or close to it direction of the ridges [16,17]. They rise gradually to the south and usually represent rather narrow watersheds between the transverse valleys of two neighboring rivers. These ridges owe their formation to river erosion, and their general direction does not coincide with the strike of the tectonic structures of the region. Quite intensive landslide processes have developed here [3]
