Abstract
The aim of this work is the analysis and interpretation of the results of morphotectonic analysis of the territory of the Kremenets Mountains in order to study its neotectonic history and to identify the regional morphotectonic differences. The methods of the reconstruction of the post-Sarmatic planation surface and lineament analysis were used for this analysis as well as the data received in the process of field studies on the territory where the exploration took place, in particular the study of rocks fracturing. A number of previous studies of the upland area was analysed, in particular, its tectonics and relief. It is discovered that the Kremenets Mountains are the mountains of the monolithic structure, which are under the influence of the differentiated neotectonic movements; a number of faults, that affect the relief situation in the natural area, is also discovered. The theory of the coincidence of the directions of drains valleys with the rocks fracturing is confirmed. The theories of the formation of the North-Podillia ledge, of its confirmation and denial are considered. The origin of the north-west ledge of the escarpment is tectonic and the origin of the south and east ledges is erosive. The relief-forming role of tectonic structure of the region and its expression in the modern morphodynamic processes is evaluated.
