GENETIC TYPES OF THE EXOGENOUS GEOLOGICAL PROCESSES, CHARACTERISTIC FOR THE MOUNTAIN TERRITORIES OF THE CENTRAL CAUCASUS AND THE STATE OF THE UNDERGROUND FRESH WATERS QUALITY

Abstract

Results of many years exogenous geological processes observations in the course of the continuance of geological survey studies of different designation in the entire territory of the large Caucasus central block Ossetic segment are generalized. Basic types of Exogenous Geological Processes (EGP) are enumerated, typical for the alpine territories of the North Caucasus. EGP dependence on the seismic activity is investigated. Definition of State Monitoring of the Depths State (SMDS) system is given as the information support method by current data of the state administration agency of mineral resources and other agencies, necessary for decision making by rational and safe subsoil use and geological survey works planning. The dependence of the EGP on seismic activity is investigated. The examples of anthropogenic provoking of EGP while ignoring the requirements of engineering and geological surveys for tracing service lines and selection areas for building sites of engineering structures in mountain areas are given. Examples of the EGP anthropogenic provocation are shown during ignoring of the geological engineering searches requirements for the tracing of engineering lines and places of the construction sites selection for civil constructions in the mountain territories. EGP dependence on the high-altitude zonality and the technogenic interference in the natural topographical locality conditions is shown. SMDS territorial center materials of the North Osetia specialized observations of Southern Federal region subsystems «Exogenous Geological Processes» and «Underground Waters» are used.
