DISTRIBUTION OF QUATERNARY DEPOSITS IN THE UDMURT REPUBLIC TERRITORY

Abstract

The article describes the main genetic types of Quaternary deposits in Udmurtia and explains their genesis and spatial location in accordance with modern scientific concepts. In particular, the relationship between geological structure of the territory and the distribution of eluvial, slope and aeolian deposits was revealed; the issue of the formation of fluvioglacial and limnoglacial formations on the territory of the republic was considered; patterns of formation of Aeolian massifs were indicated. A detailed regionalization of the aeolian material of Udmurtia was carried out with the allocation of three arrays divided into eight branches, as well as the explanation of the configuration of each of them. The differences between aeolian sediments on watersheds and other formations of this genetic type were identified and explained. The nuances of creating a digital map of the Quaternary sediments of the region based on existing maps and data obtained during the analysis were indicated, an assessment of the use of such a map for landscape studies was given.
