Kiev Mountains
Kiev Mountains or Kiev Hills ((ウクライナ語:Київські гори, Київські пагорби)) is a term used in journalism and literature for hills and highlands around the city of Kiev that range from approximately 150 to almost 200 meters. The city of Kiev is located within borders of three orographic regions: Dnieper Upland (Cisdnieper Upland) and Polesian and Dnieper lowlands. The hills are located in northern part of the Kiev plateau where the Dnieper Upland slopes down towards the Dnieper river valley and the Kiev Polesia. The highest marks recorded in central and southwestern parts of the city (within the Dnieper Upland, particularly the Kiev plateau).
Hilly landscape is the reason for the unusual depths and two-fold escalators of underground Kiev Metro (subway) stations in the city center (with the deepest one, Arsenalna, measuring 105.5 metres).
==Kiev plateau==
The Kiev plateau as a geologic creation presents itself as a rolling meadow plain dissected with ravines and gulches. According to the physiographic categorization the given territory is part of the Obukhiv-Vasylkiv section of forest steppe. The plateau stretches along the right bank of Dnieper from Kiev to Kaniv where a complex of other hills compose a landscape feature known as Kaniv Mountains.
At the heart of the upland lay Jurassic, Cretaceous, Paleogene, Neogene and Quaternary deposits that are covered with a thick layer of loess on which formed gray and lightly gray limed silt of light loam. Creation of the loess hills of Dnieper region is connected with withdrawal of the last Great Sea basin, the Kharkiv Sea.
