DISPLAY OF NIVATION AND SOLIFLUCTION IN THE VICINITIES OF SERIES OF THE HIGH MOUNTAIN LAKES OF ARMENIA

Abstract

For the first time, comprehensive studies were conducted on four high-mountain lakes of Armenia to study their bathymetry, bottom sediment composition, geomorphological structure of basins and the spread of nivation and solifluction processes associated with altitudinal zonation and the presence of seasonal permafrost. It is noted that solifluction is better manifested on the slopes of slag cones (loose friable soil), and the displacement of chingils on steep slopes of volcanic lava flows.
