Abstract
The article discusses regularity of the formation of high-altitude zones on the mountain territories of Tenir-Too and their relationship with geomorphological complexes and the relief steps. The main purpose was to classify geomorpho-logical complexes and to concretize their morphological characteristics. The belt structure consisting of two mixed rows is analyzed. Excess, elevated, medium-moistened, semi-moistened, semi-arid, and arid types of altitudinal belts were proposed.
Highlights
Tenir-Too is one of the large mountainous territories of Central Asia, distinguished by a particular location of mountain systems and a set of altitudinal belts
When determining the geomorphological complexes of the Tenir-Too mountains, we used the layering system of relief [8]
Steppe and dry-steppe landscapes are formed from xerophytic groups of plants on arid slopes, meadow and forest landscapes on humid mountain slopes, and on semi-arid and semi-humid slopes meadow-steppe and forest-steppe landscapes, and in the crest of some mountains north-wet glacial-nival and tundra types of landscapes are formed
Summary
Tenir-Too is one of the large mountainous territories of Central Asia, distinguished by a particular location of mountain systems and a set of altitudinal belts. In the center of which there is a worn-out mid-mountain relief inherited from the past, raised in the process of orogenesis to the height of the dome-vault (Inner Tenir-Too) [9]. Around this core is a dismembered alpine relief. When determining the geomorphological complexes of the Tenir-Too mountains, we used the layering system of relief [8]
