Abstract: Let $X$ be a variety with at most terminal $mathbbQ$-factorial singularities of dimension $n$. We study local contractions $f:XoZ$ supported by a $mathbbQ$-Cartier divisor of the type $K_X+auL$, where $L$ is an $f$-ample Cartier divisor and $augeq0$ is a rational number. Equivalently, $f$ is a Fano-Mori contraction associated to an extremal face in $overline{NE(X)}_{K_X+auL=0}$; these maps naturally arise in the context of the minimal model program. We prove that, if $au>(n-3)>0$, the general element $X^{\prime }in|L|$ is a variety with at most terminal singularities. Then we apply this to characterize, via an inductive argument, some birational contractions as above with $au>(n-3)geq0$.
