Annular structures as reflected in landscapes and topography of Byelorussia

Abstract

Annular structures identified from space photos are revealed in the drainage pattern and in the distribution of bogs and various types of relief and landforms (of glacial, lacustrine, fluvial and eolian origin). Structures of the 2nd to 4th order appeared to be most distinct in relief, while larger structures are distinguishable only locally and by fragments. Some differences in the geomorphic manifestation of annular structures are found related to the age of topography.
