Abstract

The concepts of tortuosity and curvature and their relation to geomorphology, morphometry, and cartography are described. The technique of automatic tortuosity and curvature map compiling is worked out, with the Altai region as an example. New morphometric maps are visually compared and analyzed. The curvature maps have appeared to be more informative and reliable. The main fields of their theoretical and applied usage are pointed out.
