Abstract

The article considers the influence of faults on the morphological and morphometric characteristics of the erosion network within the urban systems. As a model region, the territory of the city of Volgograd, which belongs to the densely eroded one, is represented. Within the allocated territory, faults formed during the interaction of large tectonic structures — the Privolzhsky monocline and the Caspian syneclise — were analyzed. Based on the methods of geoinformation modeling of the erosion network, based on the processing of the digital elevation model in the ArcGis 10.3.1 software environment, maps of the order of the erosion network, horizontal and vertical dissection of the relief were created. It was concluded that the areas of maximum vertical incision of erosion systems in the plan correspond to faults.
