Abstract:
Geopark is based on the presence of a unique geological object of international significance. The geosite, which can later become the core of a geopark, is a unique Sudak standard terrace profile (SSTP). It is represented by 12 separate terrace levels corresponding to successively alternating stages of the development of the Black Sea basin, starting from Kuyalnikian and Gurian. Relics of marine terraces were subjected to the destructive influence of natural and anthropogenic factors. Conservation of the SSTP can be realized by establishment a terrace type geopark on the Northern coast of the Black Sea.
