Abstract. The paper describes the features of the relief structure and manifestations of modern relief-forming processes within the Old Ryazan plateau, which occupies a large structurally determined bend of the Oka River in the area from the mouth of the Pronya River in its southwestern part to the mouth of the Studenets River in the south-east. Thus, we look at the peculiarities of the scarp structure framing the plateau and the processes that transform it: landslide and gully erosion. Conditions of formation of large-block landslides are shown, as well as tendencies in landslide process development at different sites. Specifics of the structure of ravines dissecting the scarp and penetrating into the edge part of the plateau are considered, with certain trends of their development. The features of the plateau relief structure and relief-forming processes within its boundaries are shown, together with anthropogenic morpholithogenesis in the plateau relief development.

 

Keywords: Old Ryazan plateau, modern relief-forming processes, landslide processes, gully erosion, suffusion-sedimentation phenomena, sheet ablation, jet ablation.
