Principles of geomorphological map compilation aimed for higher School: map of the European USSR, scale 1:2 000 000

Abstract

As distinct from the Geomorphological map of the European USSR, scale 1: 2 500 000, published in 1966, the new geomorphological map of the same area based on an analytic legend which shows topographic elements and landforms and specifies their age and genesis (and not morphological complexes). The map clearly displays the relief history and evolution, and geomorphic structure resulted from endogenic and exogenic factors interplay, and the recent dynamics of the topography. The map may be used in education as well as applied to solving scientific and practical tasks.
