Abstract
Structural-morphometric works were carried out within the Middle Dnipro Region using remote sensing methods and geographic information systems. A wide complex of structural-morphometric analyses was applied and geological interpretation was carried out to determine the presence and nature of the identified morphometric indicators and how the latter are related to terrace levels, as well as the direction and intensity of recent and modern tectonic movements, deep erosion, denudation and accumulation of the studied region. The neotectonic conditions of development and formation of the Right Bank were reconstructed, taking into account the advantage of some factors over others at each stage. Peculiarities of the development of terrace levels in the Neogene and Quaternary times have been established. Attention was paid to development of dangerous processes caused by many factors of development of the region. The obtained data may serve as a basis to analyze the impact of tectonic movements on the intensification of dangerous geological processes within the Middle Dnipro Region and to forecast their development in the future.
