Abstract

In the article author characterized the morphostructures of the mountainous part basin river Bystrica Nadvirnianska which are located in the north-eastern slopes of the Ukrainian Carpathians. For the first time, it was presented a large-scale map of the morphostructures of the river basin which was created by the means of GIS, also it was made data base of a tectonic and geological structure, morphological and morphometric characteristics of the relief. The studies confirmed the validity of existing medium-scale schemes of morphostructures in the region and significantly refined the boundaries of morphostructures of different orders, using the means of GIS. In the territory of research identified 2 morphostructures of the first order: Skybovi and Vododilno-Verkhovynski Carpathians, which are confined to areas of major tectonic zones – Skybova cover and area of Krosno. In their boundaries allocated 7 morphostructures of the second order, confined to smaller tectonic units. In Skybova Carpathians there are the individual skyb, Beregova, Orivska, Skolivska, Parashka and Zelemyanka. In Vododilno-Verkhovynski Carpathians morphostructures of the second order which correspond of two tectonic subdivisions: Yasinya-Putyla lowland and Serednovystne horstopodibne raising Pryvododilni (Internal) Gorgan. Within the morphostructures of the second order, 11 morphostructures of the third and 8 morphostructures of the fourth order are identified, their geological structure, morphology and morphometry are characterized.
