Figure 3 Slope aspect map of the Horoshovetsky meander of the Dnister River Analysing the slope aspect map (fig. 3), it can be concluded that in this part of the study area the slopes have mostly eastern, south-eastern and southern exposures. Of particular interest are the symmetrical slopes that formed along probable tectonic uplifts. Such slopes are common along the rivers Seret, Zbruch, Smotrych, between the valleys of which may be tectonic faults. The symmetry of the eastern and western slopes is very clear. Along of the Dnister River, the slopes of the northern exposure are very common. They are extremely steep, and due to their canyon-like shape occupy a small area of the river valley. Slopes aspects of this area clearly demonstrate the full range of complex tectonic and geological interactions within the study area, which ultimately led to the emergence of a variety of landforms, especially polygenetic incised meanders.
