Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the article geographic factors of influence on the arid relief of Kazakhstan were considered. Changing of pluvial and xerothermic ages is shown. Conformity of xerothermic epoch with tendencies of modern relief-forming is defined. Arid type of climate of Kazakhstan contributes to the lack of local flowing waters. It is known that, climatic, hydrographic and geomorphologic factors influence on the distribution and accumulation of groundwaters.
