Features of technogenic morphogenesis on the territory of south-western Belarus

Abstract

The classification of modern technogenic relief with the identification of its types, subtypes and forms is substantiated for the territory of southwestern Belarus. Information about the types of impact on the geological environment in the process of technomorph formation is given. Based on the generalization of field research materials, topographic maps and published literature, a diagram of the technogenic relief of the region under study was constructed which shows the largest artificial forms of its various types. Using information from technical documentation, special measurements and calculations, the averaged parameters of technomorphs were determined and their main morphological features were characterized.
