The Spatial Distribution of Sands of Different Ages and Geneses on the Territory of Russia

Аннотация

In engineering geology sands are studied from different aspects, including features of their spatial distribution. The latter is especially important for the vast territory of Russia. Schematic maps of the distribution of Pre-Quaternary and Quaternary sandy soils on the Russian territory were compiled. The patterns of their distribution by area and section within the platform and mountain regions are described.
