Abstract

Geologic structure of the Pleistocene terraces of the Bug River within the Horodło Hills and the southern Dubienka Basin, and of the Bug and Huczwa Rivers in the Hrubieszów Basin, are described. There are three overbank terraces, two of them with a loess cover from the Upper Pleniglacial of the Vistulian Glaciation. The highest terrace was formed in the Wartanian Glaciation, the higher overbank terrace in the Lower Pleniglacial and the lower overbank terrace in the Upper Pleniglacial of the Vistulian Glaciation.
