Abstract

The leading role of geological and geomorphological elements in the formation of different types of benthic communities of the continental shelf is discussed. Recent tectonic processes control the nature of coastal seafloor relief and, the composition and distribution of bottom sediments. Tectonic uplift resulted in the construction of extensive shallows of the Apsheron Archipelago, the Caspian Sea (Figure. 1a). [1]а - Geomorphological map. Legend: 1 - accumulative (depositional) plains, 2 - abrasion-accumulative (erosional-depositional) plains, 3 - nearshore accumulative (depositional) areas, 4 - abrasion (erosional) ridges, 5 -lower shelf accumulative (deeper, non-wave depositional) plains, 6 - coastal sand ramparts, 7 - sand bars, 8 - mud volcanoes, 9 - seaward extension of the Greater Caucasus mega-anticlinorium, 10 - seafloor expression of active anticlinal uplift, 11 - inverted landforms confined to local synclines. b - Bionomic map.
