QUARRY AND DUMP LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS OF KRYVORIZHZHIA
Abstract
The largest iron ore basin in Europe, located in the city of Kryvyi Rih and in which since 1876 and to this day continues the active development of the mining industry causes the rapid emergence of anthropogenic landscapes. And thus the question arises as to what scale technogenesis has covered, what the largest landscape systems have emerged as a result of the mining industry, and what optimization methods are being carried out to maintain the area to prevent man-made hazards. In our work we have analyzed the quarry - dump landscape systems of Kryvyi Rih. The plateau-like multi-tiered dump type of terrain is described in detail. Emphasis is placed on the Burshchit and Shimakov dumps: conditions of origin and development. Two schemes have been developed that reflect the macro levels of the Burshchit and Shimakiv dumps, as well as the scheme of classification of mining landscapes. The map which reproduces territorial arrangement of quarry - dump complexes is designed. The main mine systems of Kryvyi Rih are considered. Measures have been introduced to optimize the disturbed lands of Kryvyi Rih.
