permafrost structures, epigenetic frost structures, syngenetic frost structuresAbstract
The suggested systematics of the polygonal wedge-structures can be used in subdivision of epigenetic structures, developed after sedimentation of enclosed deposits, as well as of syngenetic structures originated contemporaneously with sedimentation. The latter forms undergo some influences which affect their characteristics, their forms, and their length, in comparison with epigenetic structures and therefore they are indicators of their origin contemporaneously with the sedimentation of the adjacent deposits.
