THE INTERCONNECTIVITY OF PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC EVENTS WITHIN THE PONTUS-MANYCH-CASPIAN SYSTEM DURING THE LATE PLEISTOCENE AND THE HOLOCENE
Abstract
Materials of the event analysis during the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene history of the PontusManych-Caspian (PMC) system suggested several stages with different courses of paleogeographic evolution, i.e. the Karangatian-Late Khazarian; Tarkhankut-Burtass-Early Atelian; New Euxinian (regressive)BurtassLate Atelian; New Euxinian (transgressive)-Early Khvalynian; and the Holocene (Early and Late). It is established that during the evolution of PMC structures there were different types of interaction and interface between them when the principal natural components changed interdependently and synchronously, or autonomously without noticeable transformation. The conjugate type of interaction is typical of the Karangatian-Late Khazarian and the New Euxinian-Early Khvalynian stages; during other epochs the independent path of development dominated.
