Particularities of Sedimentation Processes Within the Continental Blocks and Marine Basins

The fundamental differences in the processes of sedimentogenesis appear in the studied environments at the stage of glacial cover degradation. At this time the glacioeustatic transgression had a significant effect on the process of degradation in the limits of glacial shelves that actively acted on the destruction of the ice cover which waters penetrated through the cracked zones, formed bays with the ice shores, and thus contributed to the breakdown of the lateral part of the ice. Accumulation of glacioturbidites of different type, and also the sediments of the slurry flows, which are connected with avalanche sedimentation of varve-like rhythmic-layered sediments, has occurred in the Late Glacial period (Chistyakova and Lavrushin, 2004).
