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

Modern Kazakhstan deserts for many geological epochs were areas of the Earth's crust immersion. As a result, there marine and continental powerful unconsolidated sediments have accumulated. The alternation of the sediments indicates a change in repeated transgressions and regressions of the sea caused by centuries of slow vertical oscillation of the land. The complexity of the geological structure of Kazakhstan conditioned by participation of the different rock complexes. The age of rocks varies widely. Paleogeographic history of the arid zone shows the relation of the present topography of the arid zone with ancient geological structure.
