The article proposes to use semantic-oriented morphometric relief analysis for relief classifying. The algorithm of its implementation is as follows: 1) reasonable classificating taxonomic relief units; 2) defining their semantic names; 3) evaluating and selecting the morphometric descriptors of identified morphotypes.\u0000The study is based on the results of field landscape observations in the Ukrainian part of The Roztochia, which were accompanied by instrumental morphometric measurements and landscapes panoramic photographing.\u0000For morphometric analysis of The Roztochia, the digital relief model (DEM) of SRTM 30 version 2.1 with pixel size (60x60 m) has been used, for its Ukrainian part the authors have built DEM on the basis of synthesized horizontals of topographic maps of scale 1:10000 and 1: 25000, laying of horizontals 1 m and 5 m, pixel size (15x15 m). By means of ArcGis 10.0 software package, the following models have been created: slope gradient, horizontal dismemberment, vertical dismemberment (relative elevation), aspect, elevation levels, thalwegs, watersheds, Landform Classificaton, Slope Position Classificaton, Topographic Position Index. The analysis of these models made it possible to select identification descriptors for selecting meso-relief units, i.e. area (according to R. Dikau (1990)), relative elevation, mean slope, compactness.\u0000It has been established that the meso-relief gradation of subcategory “B” in The Roztochia differs slightly in area from the “standard” one after R. Dicau and is in range of 105–108 m2. This proves that the morphometric descriptors of the morphological classification of the relief units need to be determined according to the features of the region separately for plains, heighlands and mountains.\u0000The semantic analysis made it possible to give names to the selected units of meso-relief. The main names of relief units, used in Polish and Ukrainian literature have been analyzed, and their English-speaking counterparts have been found.\u0000The map of The Ukrainian Roztochia meso-relief has been created. The following meso-relief units are distinguished: high-gradient hill, medium-gradient hill, lawe gradient hill, knoll, ridge, escarpment, longitudinal depression, upper plain, lower plain, basin, valley. Nearly 70% of the region is occupied with hill.\u0000Keywords: landform morphotype; mesorelief; Roztochia; semantics.","PeriodicalId":374629,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF GEOMORPHOLOGY AND PALEOGEOGRAPHY OF THE UKRANIAN CARPATHIANS AND ADJACENT AREAS","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123482818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent developments in the technologies of remote sensing, GIS data processing and mapping now make possible to more directly consider ecologically relevant properties in the process of spatial units delineation. The concept of morphotop has been proposed by author meaning spatial units mapped taking into account ecologically relevant properties of terrain. It is different from the commonly used concept of natural complex in that ecological and not genetic criteria are at the base of spatial units differentiation.\u0000The ecological approach for terrain morphology classification has been applied for the 4.5 to 2 km study area located at the upper part of Dnister river valley. The 10 m spatial resolution DEM was obtained for the study area by the interpolation of digitized topographic map layers with ANUDEM algorithm. Three groups of ecologically meaningful factors of landscape differentiation have been taken into account: 1) solar radiation redistribution; 2) water and soil moisture redistribution; 3) erosion potential of terrain. For each of these, the appropriate index was proposed and derived from DEM by the respective formula. The method of iterative cluster analysis with ISODATA algorithm has been applied to these variables complemented with absolute elevation. This method distinguishes a predefined number of classes by revealing the natural groupings of data in attribute space. Arbitrary presetting the number of classes allows to classify data with the different levels of detail and to analyze the changes in classification output as a function of classification scale and detalization.\u0000The study area has been successively classified into 12 and 8 classes, with 100 algorithm iteration in each case. Each class has been given a descriptive characteristic; an average values of certain terrain morphometric parameters for each class were also calculated and given in a table.

All quarries are sandy and most of them are inactive now. There are 3 quarries located directly in the city: two – within the Znesinnia Regional Landscape Park (western and eastern) and Kryvchytskyi. The four quarries are located in the southeastern outskirt of Lviv within the Davydivskyi Chain near the villages of Davydiv (3 quarries) and Vynnychky.\u0000The processes of water erosion (sheet, rill and gully erosion), suffosion, falls, scree formation processes, slides, physical and chemical weathering are widespread in the explored quarries. The specific azonal processes such as aeolian processes (deflation and accumulation of sandy material) and formation of takyrs are also common.\u0000The most common are water erosion processes (sheet, rill and gully erosion). They are present in almost all quarries (except of Western Znesinskyi and Kryvchytskyi Quarries). These processes occur in the lower parts of quarry benches and on the slopes of dumps. They are represented by small and medium-sized erosive pre-rills and rills (width 5–30 cm, depth up to 45 cm), small gullies (depth up to 2.2 m), debris cones, deluvial cones. The sheet, rill and gully erosions mainly occur together. \u0000The suffosion processes develop in the sandy-loam deposits with low density (the Davydivskyi Quarry № 2, the Vynnychkivskyi Quarry). The result of these processes is the formation of suffosion sinkholes (35–60 cm in diameter) and suffosion “wells”.\u0000The processes of rockfalls are locally widespread on steep denudation benches of quarries, where beds of limestone or sandstone are cropped out (the Davydivskyi Quarry № 1, № 3). The scree formation processes are also common in gravitational processes and mainly occur in sandy deposits and are represented by scree cones. Slides occur rarely having small main bodies and are located on the quarry walls and dump slopes. A special type of processes in the studied quarries is the formation of takyrs, which occurs in closed watered areas of the pit floors.

An attempt has been made to establish the existing, expected and assume the probable impact of a certain geomorphologic process on soil characteristics, which indicates the prospect of ecological and geomorphologic evaluation of the formation, distribution, operation and transformation of the soil cover of the Northern Black Sea coast.

Due to the intense elevations in the upper Miocene, the Precarpathian Sea was pushed to the east and northeast. On the land freed from the sea, a hydrographic network was created, and rivers moved along the retreating sea in Northeast and Southeast directions. Original river valleys were of diagonal and inline outflow directions unlike modern transverse valleys.\u0000The Pontian-Pliocene is associated with the final phase of Carpathian and Precarpathian tectogenesis, and the proof is the undisturbed Pliocene denudation surface (Hofstein, 1985) or the upper denudation level (Teisseyre, 1933).\u0000The Solotvyno basin had continental regime before the Mukachevo basin had, so the Solotvyno basin got denudation and denudation-accumulative surfaces formed. These include the oldest denudation “Kichersky Level” researched by H. Alferyev (1948), which is believed to date to the early Pannonian.\u0000Younger denudation and denudation-accumulative surfaces are consistent with the Precarpathian and Transcarpathian regions. In the Precarpathian region, most authors distinguished two denudation-accumulative surfaces (terraces) – Krasna and Loyeva, and in the Transcarpathian, three – Dilotska, Boronyavska and Shardynska.\u0000In the Precarpathian region, they first identified pediments (Kravchuk, 1971), dating back to the Pliocene – early Pleistocene. Subsequently, I. Hofstein suggested that they should be dated the late Pliocene by analogy with the Transcarpathian pediments of Ye. Mazur (1963), but he did not deny that their formation continued in the Pleistocene.\u0000The prolonged weakening of the elevation in the early Pleistocene led to the predominance of lateral erosion, expansion of valley bottoms, and intense erosion of ancient terraces (denudation-accumulating surfaces).\u0000The analysis of terrace complexes in the Precarpathians and Transcarpathians makes it possible to determine the average heights of the Pliocene-Pleistocene elevations, which confirms the synchronicity of the landform evolution in these regions.\u0000Key words: denudation and denudation-accumulative surfaces; terraces; pediments; Pliocene-Pleistocene elevation; Precarpathians; Transcarpathians.","PeriodicalId":374629,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF GEOMORPHOLOGY AND PALEOGEOGRAPHY OF THE UKRANIAN CARPATHIANS AND ADJACENT AREAS","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124925939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Outcrops (careers) are located within the terrace of the Tysmenytsia River. The height of the terrace is about 50 m above the river level and changes along the distance from the mountains. The main attention in the article is paid to the study of the structure of the upper (covering) stratum of the terrace with a thickness of about 26 m, and also to the characteristics of its consolidated stratigraphic section. The basis of this stratum consists of the layers of non-carbonate loams and clays. They are more or less enriched of iron compounds and gleyed. Between them there are four horizons of buried soils of the interglacial and interstadial rank. \u0000Based on the observations made in the field, it was found that the sediments of the covering stratum have mainly river origin. The conditions of their accumulation, as well as the conditions for the formation and transformation of ancient soils, are considered; eight pre-Holocene lito- and pedostratigraphic layers of different rank are singled out. The division of the covering stratum of the terraces into three main layers is sub¬stan¬tiated, which is equivalent to the stratigraphic units of the glacial and interglacial rank. \u0000Comparison of the Solonske section with other sections of the similar height terraces, in particular with well-known outcrops near the village Dubrivka (section Dubrivka) gives grounds to assume that the formation of a local terrace occurred during the Marine Isotopic Stages 12 to 10. Consequently, the Solonske section represents a short strati¬gra¬phic interval of the Middle Pleistocene (not the three main Pleistocene units as stated in the results of its previous study). It can be the basis for studying only a few (two to three) horizons of the glacial/interglacial rank.

In Ukrainian Carpathians these effects are manifested mainly in more mild and less continental conditions on south-western macroslope that is also warmer due to larger solar radiation intake.

The twenty-seven active quarries for the extraction of building materials are located on the territory of the Middle Pobuzhzhia. The quarries of the crystalline rocks (granite, migmatite, granodiorite, charnockite, etc.) are dominant. Also, there are loam and less often sand quarries. They are concentrated in the western part of the Middle Pobuzhzhia, near city Vinnytsia. Most of the them are the type of closed stepped quarries. \u0000The quarries of the crystalline rocks are predominantly rectangular in shape with narrow benches of working benches and a flat pit floor without heaped forms of relief. Loam quarries are usually gradually declining, some of them are now inactive having internal sheating dumps. The length of such quarries is 300 – 450 m, with one working highwall. Sand quarries are partially active and covered with turf. The length of these quarries is usually 300 – 350 m, with up to 2 – 3 highwalls, also there are external sheating dumps.\u0000The Sabariv granite quarry, located 1 km south of city Vinnytsia on the right bank of the Southern Bug River is carefully surveyed. The extraction of useful rocks dates back to 1958. Mining is carried out by one overburden and three extraction highwalls. The maximum length of the quarry is 620 m, width – 370 m, depth – 54 m. The length of extraction benches is 14 m.\u0000The quarry has the excavated (denudation) and heaped (accumulative) forms of relief. The excavated relief consists of a mine floor, benches of the overburden stratum and extraction highwalls. The mine floor has a shape close to the rectangle. It is made of the third production horizon of the quarry where currently the mining works are carrying out and of the insubstantial part of the second extraction highwalls toe. The shape of a surface of the mine floor is generally aligned. The mine floor is bounded by the little changed and worked out northern, western and eastern mine walls, western part of the southern wall and significantly changed eastern part of the southern wall. The quarry has the one overburden and three extraction highwalls. Benches are located between the benches of different levels. Their maximum width is 50 m. At least, the benches of three levels can be traced.\u0000 The heaped relief of the Sabariv quarry is presented predominantly by external sheating dumps of the overburden strata.
