Abstract

On the basis of the complex lithological and geomorphological zonation, the features of morphosystem characteristics were revealed. Map was produced of morphostructural provinces, paleogeographical zones of different age glaciations, which were divided into 19 areas. The map legend contains specific geomorphological and lithological indicators of the regional morpholithosystems. As a result of the comparative analysis of the most important patterns of formation and trends of spatial variability characteristics the following issues were established: a) the provincial morphostructural and geological inheritance; b) paleogeographically preconditioned zonality of morphosculptures, types of sediment sequences and facial-genetic diversity; c) landscape and climate relations and regional particularities of exogenous processes in the relief transformation and sedimentation. The complex lithological-geomorphological zoning has high scientific and methodological value. The identified regional patterns and characteristics of morpholithosystems are relevant for reliable paleogeographic reconstruction and interregional correlations, as well as to assessment of the forecast and the state and prognosis of geo-environmental sustainability of the natural environment.
