TRACES OF GLACIAL ON MESCIT MOUNTAINS (NE TURKEY)

Mescit Mountains reveal traces of Pleistocene glaciation. The presence of glacier erosion formations in the form of the cirque at the crest of such mountainous mass were determined during the explorations performed previously. During the observation we conducted in the region, the moraine deposits w...
