Complex analysis of drainage net structure and faults system at the East European Plain using optical technique of data processing

Abstract

A technique is described of cartographic materials processing based on usage of optical-electronic devices. A considerable efficiency of the technique is shown with reference to East European Plain taking as an example maps of selected orientations and rose-diagrams of river valleys and fault lines direction. 8 main directions have been identified for river valleys and fault lines. Authors emphasize the importance of «planetary» fissures system for drainage net configuration.
