Abstract

A.A. Borzov was true field surveyor who had studied much of the European Russia as geomorphologist and physical geographer. During the first part of XX century this territory was researched only by Russian scientists, and foreign scientists largely didn’t know about it. Borzov focused on erosion relief of humid plains, moraine landscapes and also theory and practice of mapping. He devoted his special works to improvement the normal (erosion) cycle of V. Davis. He wrote some additions to Davis doctrine, the major is: erosion on plains leads to asymmetrical interfluvial relief structure, and asymmetrical cross section the more expressed the more upward interfluvial development stage is. Asymmetrical cross sections of interfluvial areas and deluvial coats on their shallow slopes certainly should be developed on specific stage of its development depending on amount of geographical factors.
