Abstract

Geomorphologic maps indicate different forms of the surface of the Planet and their process of formation, i.e., the product of operation of internal and external geodynamic forces on the land surface. In other words, geomorphologic maps represent the sum of the effects of internal and external geodynamic forces on the Earth's Crust, which is the Relief-Sphere. Geomorphologic maps reveal morphography, morphometry of land forms and especially morphogenesis and morphodynamics governing these forms.
