The Pleistocene Glaciation Pseudomoraines in the Caucasus Mountains

摘要

The study of the palynological spectrum shows that in the basin of the river Kodori on the territories of the so-called "Tsebelda Moraine" and village Khevi (350-400 m and 550-600 m above sea level, respectively) the sediments are fluvial deposited under the conditions of humid, moderately warm climate. In the basin of the river Enguri the boulders (Porphyry) near village Khaishi are local, while the granite boulders are cast out of the Nenskra Gorge, from the Okrila and Tskhvandira Massifs. The friable suites in the basin of the river Terek, at the mouth of the river Amali and the territory of village Balta are the product of the glacial torrent developed from the Devdoraki Glacier. The vegetation spectrum of the sediments on the territory of village Omalo shows that the sediments have been deposited under the conditions of simple, mild climate and are not at all linked to the glacier.
