Аnnotation: In order to clarify the genesis of liquefaction folds (convolutions) developed at lithological boundaries in lacustrine sediments, a comparison of these structures was carried out in the three considered regions. Folds in each region differ in morphology, composition of sediments, vertical gradient of their density and viscosity upon deformation. It is proposed to use the ratio of the widths of syn- and anticlinal folds in the convolution horizon ( K
