An application of morphometric sequences and matrixes to analysis of Earth's landforms and interior

Abstract

The hierarchical system of Earth's landforms is worked out according to morphometric parameters. It consists of 18 ranks from sand ripple to global forms - geotectures. The main peculiarities of this system and of morphostructures of Earth's surface are considered as having an origin due to geophysical processes of different types and to wave deformations of our planet since morphometric sequences are multiple to the size of the Earth. Morphometric matrixes are worked out and applied to analysis of Earth's interior, to radar of the Earth, to ore prospecting, etc.
