The development of the processes of biogenic sediment- and morphogenesis on the territory of Central Belarus
Abstract
The peculiarities of the developments of modern biogenic geological processes on the territory of Central Belarus are considered in the article. The research grounded on the analysis of published scientific, cartographic and fund materials, field works, route observations and measuring, the materials of distance shooting. It is established that marshes formation is one of the most active indicating modern biogenic geological process, developing on the area around 8000 km2 and characterized by the accumulation of peat and the formation of the peculiar complex of phytogenic relief. Soils bogging develops on the area around 17 700 km2. The conditions and factors of biogenic and sediment- and morphogenesis are described. The accumulation of organogenic sediments (sapropel and peat) take their place also in basins of nature and artificial origin and till the present time leads to thicknesses formation with the capacity of mainly 3–5 m (up to 30 m). The role of geological activity of animals and plant organisms in the transformation of earth surface relies and the structure of rocks making it up is characterized.
