Kaniv Hills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaniv Hills (Ukrainian: Канівські гори) is a hill range forming the Easter edge of the Dnieper Upland. With the length of 70 kilometers and width ranging from 3 to 9 kilometers, the massif extends from Trakhtemyriv to the mouth of Ros river and is clearly separated from the rest of the upland. The hills reach heights from 80 to 255 meters and fall steeply down to the Dnieper river.
The hills consist of Tertiary, Triassic and Cretaceous strata, which were dislocated by the glacier once covering the Dnieper valley, and are dissected with numerous ravines.
