Abstract

The article presents the results of the structural-geomorphological analysis of the Heraklion peninsula of the South-Western Crimea. The Western, Central and South-Eastern segments are distinguished, differing in density and direction of fracture zones, faults, the nature of the ravine-gulch net, and the structure of the coastal zone. It is shown that neotectonic movements in the upper structural floor are most intensively manifested over the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous collisional suture formed when the back-arc basin with the oceanic crust was closed.
