CARTOGRAPHIC AND ANALYTICAL MODEL OF THE FORMATION OF THE FAILED RELIEF IN A LARGE MINING REGION
The article focuses on the territory of the Kryvyi Rih basin, which is a potential zone where all factors of anthropogenic and natural emergencies associated with significant changes in the natural state of the geological environment are activated. It is proved that the formation of anthropogenic landscape as a result of the creation of quarries, waste dumps, reservoirs, sludge pits, violation of the hydrodynamic regime of groundwater, pollution of surface water, air and soil, together with the peculiarities of the geological structure of Kryvyi Rih, contribute to the intensification of the development of sinkholes, landslides and anthropogenic karst. The study of the tectonic conditions for the formation of sinkholes allowed us to create a cartographic and analytical model of the formation of modern tectonic movements in a large mining region to prevent emergencies. It is concluded that the intensive development of discontinuous faults in the northern direction leads to the formation and intensive development of wedge-shaped sinkholes. The process shifts the boundary of the fault zone in this direction and activates the formation of terraces and smooth landslides. A detailed study of tectonic fault development zones will help to better predict landslide areas and rock displacement contours in the collapse zone, to install survey signs in the necessary towns, and to control the natural and accidental formation of sinkholes. The above photographs, even without commentary, indicate a significant impact of changes in the physical, mechanical and tectonic properties of the geological environment on the formation of anthropogenic elements of the earth's surface relief, as well as the potential danger of emergencies caused by anthropogenic changes in the geomorphological components of the geological environment. In order to prevent emergencies and identify areas with a potential risk of their occurrence, it is recommended to solve the following tasks to continue the research on the state of the fault block tectonics in the Kryvbas and to prepare the corresponding map; to determine the spatial relationship of the mining facilities (quarries, mines, dumps, tailings) and the infrastructure of industrial complexes and settlements with the fault block tectonics; to analyses the impact of the hydraulic structures on the hydrological and hydrogeological regime of the surface and ground water in the region; To determine the nature of the geological environment. The achievement of the above tasks will allow the development of criteria for the prevention of emergencies by determining the degree of damage to the geological environment and the development of measures aimed at minimizing the negative impact of mining on the geological environment.
