Abstract
Different genetic types of marine sediments that were deposited on the continental slope of the Kronotskii Peninsula with the rate of several tens of centimeters per thousand years during the last 20 ka have been investigated. It is established that their lithological, mineral, and chemical compositions were determined by climate changes.
