THE LANDSCAPE RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF PATHS OF GLACIER MOVEMENTS IN THE BASIN OF PRUT RIVER IN CHORNOHORA (UKRAINIAN CARPATHIANS)

Abstract

The features of exaration and accumulative relief formations are considered (the Cirques glaciers, glacial valley formation, all kinds of moraines) in the times of the old continental glaciation in Chornogora Range, which relief formations were due to postglacial genesis and turned the specific landscape formations. The emergence and spatial location of erosion and accumulative forms of relief were described. All of them are given indicative and diagnostic value for reproduction of glacial paths. The retrospective mapping of the location of glacial landscape nature complexes and a map of the paths of glacier movements in Chornohora in the glacial periods are given. The proposed maps have a complete landscaping load, that is, they contain contours of natural boundaries to them. The legend and the paths of migrations of glaciers are shown with different arrows. During the landscape mapping, the spatial-temporal method was used. It was suggested to conduct a repeated study using modern Earth remote sensing materials and modern geographic location detection devices.
