“THE RELIEF OF EUROPE” AND THE PARADIGM OF GEOMORPHOLOGY OF THE FUTURE (CONCLUSIONS TO THE FIRST TRAINING MANUAL ON THE RELIEF OF CONTINENTS WRITTEN IN THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE)

The article emphasizes the need to prepare training manuals on geomorphology of large land areas. relief continents (their parts) and parts world is an object regional geomorphology. author substantiates structure content textbook "The Europe", first written in Ukrainian continents. manual consists introduction, 2 chapters, conclusions a list references. uses 6 schematic maps, 9 digital tables, 28 color photos. section devoted issues planetary – main regularities Earth's forms. Geotexture, morphostructure morphosculpture are categories their considered as size-genetic classification its critical assessment given (1.1). In 1.2 features at level largest geotextures continental ridges ocean depressions (the time formation trends process evolution - increase area oceans expense continents; sequence appearance types crust geological Earth; scheme lithosphere: oceanic-type > transition-type crust). 1.3 geomorphological stage development beginning end Paleozoic Mesozoic breakup Pangea), during which modern were formed. It characterized by following trends: oceanization (expansion deepening through destruction ancient platforms; increasing due joining young platforms (plates); tectonic activation (epiplatform orogeny reborn mountains). 1.4 general 14 morphostructures plain-platform areas, mountain (orogenic) high revived mountains, age history morphostructures, role neotectonic stage, importance studying alignment surfaces hydrographic basins study morphostructure. General Earth zonal influence latter modern, azonal (1.5). second parts. geotexture, Europe part. part, formations author's accepted taxonomic units zoning (4 zones 13 countries) considered. conclusions, author, using data from geology, geomorphology, planetology, substantiates, his opinion, future paradigm Key words: Europe, geotecture; morphostructure; morphosculpture; morphochronodynamic concept; thermodynamic Earth.
