Geology
The base rocks in the Kazan Region are Precambrian crystalline rocks such as gneisses, quartzites and granites. In the eastern part of the Kazan Region these are the predominant rocks. In the western portion the Precambrian rocks are overlain by Paleozoic and Cretaceous sediments, many of which have been metamorphosed. In both east and west these rocks are in turn overlain in places by alluvial and lacustrian deposits, as well as glacial deposits.
