Landscape science. Geography of terrain types

Locality (in physical geography) terrain, in physical geography, one of the morphological parts geographical landscape. Represents a group of related tracts associated with individual large forms relief (for example, with watersheds, river valleys and terraces, etc.) or with fluctuations in the depth of occurrence of the same bedrock (pre-anthropogenic) rocks (for example, limestones subject to karst under the cover of loess-like loams). As M. in landscape science are also considered complex systems tracts of the same type that have merged in the course of their development (for example, systems of upland bog massifs in taiga landscapes), and parts of the landscape that differ from each other in the quantitative ratio of areas occupied by tracts of different types (for example, pine forests, swamps in the taiga, etc.) homogeneous qualitative composition the latter. In geographical literature, the term "M." is also used in a general sense (as a landscape, a territory with a peculiar combination natural conditions). ═ A. G. Isachenko.

terrain I Locality

in physical geography, one of the morphological parts of a geographic landscape. It is a group of adjacent tracts (See tract) associated with individual large landforms (for example, with watersheds, river valleys and terraces, etc.) or with fluctuations in the depth of the same bedrock (pre-Anthropogenic) rocks (for example, karst-prone limestones under the cover of loess-like loams). Landscape science also considers complex systems of stows of the same type that have merged in the course of their development (for example, systems of upland bog massifs in taiga landscapes) and parts of the landscape that differ from each other in the quantitative ratio of areas occupied by stows of different types (for example, pine forests, swamps in the taiga, etc.) with a homogeneous qualitative composition of the latter. In geographical literature, the term "M." is also used in a general sense (as a landscape, a territory with a peculiar combination of natural conditions).

A. G. Isachenko.

II Locality (military)

part (plot), area of ​​the territory with all its natural ingredients: relief, soil, water, vegetation, etc., as well as communication routes, settlements, industry, and agricultural. and social cultural objects; one of the most important elements of the situation in which hostilities are conducted. Various properties M. contribute to military operations or complicate them by providing big influence organization and conduct of a battle or operation. M. is divided into the following main types: according to the relief - into flat, hilly, mountainous; according to the conditions of passability - to slightly crossed (passable), medium crossed, strongly crossed (hard to pass); according to the conditions of observation and camouflage - open, half-closed, closed; about the peculiarities of natural conditions - on the desert (desert-steppe), forest (wooded-swampy) and terrain northern regions(Arctic, Arctic, plain and mountain tundra). The operational significance of large water barriers and mountain ranges is especially great. Properties M influencing fighting(conditions for the patency of troops and military equipment, protection, observation, orientation, firing, water supply, etc.), are called its operational-tactical properties. M.'s conditions are taken into account when planning a battle and operation, organizing the interaction of troops, the system of fire and camouflage, it has a great influence on command and control, communications, surveillance, and the work of the rear. Tactical properties of M. change depending on a season and weather. The study and evaluation of M. is organized by the commanders and staffs of all military branches, taking into account the tasks they solve. M. is studied and evaluated according to personal observations, reconnaissance results, topographic and special cards. The conclusions from M.'s assessment are taken into account when deciding on a battle or operation and determining the nature of the actions of the troops.

The geographical location of the area determines many features of the natural geographical environment. Depending on the location of the territory of economic activity, the degree anthropogenic impact is different, just as the self-purifying and self-restoring ability of the natural environment is different.

Change in air temperature depending on altitude.

Depending on the geographical location of the area, the relative humidity of the surrounding air can change significantly. Humidity is affected by the ambient temperature. At temperatures below zero, moisture condenses and falls in the form of frost, so its presence in the atmosphere becomes negligible.

The amount of precipitation depends on the geographical location of the area and the time of year. Most precipitation falls around the equator. As the latitude increases, their number decreases. The mountains, large lakes, the oceans have a greater influence on the distribution of precipitation than the distance to the equator. Precipitation is seasonal in many areas and has not changed much over the observation period. In the US Pacific Northwest, the average monthly rainfall is about 6 inches in winter and less than 1 inch in summer. The Great Plains, on the other hand, have maximum rainfall in summer (about 3 inches per month on average), while winter averages less than 1 inch.

Does the season and geographic location of the area have a bearing on the type of gasoline used? If so, what determines the composition that is optimal for a given time of year and place.

The latter, as you know, depends on the geographical location of the area, on the season and changes even during the day, depending on the time and meteorological conditions.  

On the whole, as established, the degree of disturbance depends on the geographic location of the area, the nature of the relief and surface, the type of vegetation, season, soil moisture, features and properties of permafrost.

These data show that within the Soviet Union, climatic and other factors associated with the geographical location of the area do not have a noticeable effect on the incidence of glaucoma.

Variable nature of lighting, temperature, ozone concentration, meteorological conditions; the dependence of these factors on the time of year and the geographical location of the area; various, often opposite character effects of light depending on its intensity and air temperature - all this complicates the study of aging, often leading to conflicting conclusions. The complexity of the issue is aggravated by the fact that sometimes insufficiently correctly chosen methods of accelerated aging are used for research.

PZA is complex characteristic, which makes it possible to assess the potential ability to disperse impurities in the atmosphere, depending on the geographical location of the area.


The morning peaks of the lighting load in winter are tangible, in summer they are insignificant. The magnitude of the lighting load depends on the geographical location of the area, time of year and day, meteorological and other conditions.

The ambient temperature has the greatest influence on the operation of REA. The temperature varies depending on the time of year, on the geographical location of the area, as well as on the altitude.

During the processing and operation of polymers, volatile degradation products are released into the ambient air, many of which can be hazardous to human health due to high toxicity. The need to study the aging processes is dictated by the requirement to improve the quality, durability and improve the hygienic properties of polymeric materials. The variable nature of illumination, temperature, oxygen concentration, meteorological conditions, the dependence of these factors on the season and geographical location of the area - all this complicates the study of polymer aging during operation.

Of course, none of the factors involved in the formation of industrial accumulations of oil and gas can be considered sufficient in itself. Only in a certain combination and interrelation of them is the process of formation of oil and gas fields. However, among them there are the most important ones that determine the direction of the process. One of these factors, following the geotectonic one, is the physical and geographical setting of the accumulation of productive deposits, which combines a combination of such conditions as the geographical position of the area in certain time, climate regime, degree of development organic world, facies and geochemical features of sedimentation, etc. Therefore, the paleogeographic conditions, encompassing a number of the most important prerequisites for normal sedimentogenesis, can be classified as key factors capable of exerting a decisive influence on the formation of oil and gas deposits.

Geographic Description terrain

The analysis of topographic maps is carried out in order to study the study area, its features, patterns of placement, the relationship of objects and phenomena, the dynamics of their development, etc. The analysis allows you to choose the right map of a certain scale depending on the direction of the intended use (for familiarization with the area, for orientation in the area , as a basis for compiling hypsometric, soil, landscape maps, for scientific analysis natural and socio-economic phenomena, etc.)

The choice of maps is accompanied by an assessment of their suitability for specific work in terms of the accuracy and detail of the information that is supposed to be obtained using the maps. At the same time, it should be taken into account that enlargement of the scale of maps leads to an increase in the number of map sheets, reducing the visibility of the territory, but increasing the accuracy of information. The time of issuing cards determines their compliance current state territory. The dynamics of geographical phenomena is revealed by comparing maps of different times for the same territory.

The following methods of map analysis are used: visual, graphical, graphic-analytical and mathematical-statistical.

visual way based on visual perception images of the terrain, comparing graphically shown elements of the terrain in shape, size, structure, etc. It presupposes mainly a qualitative description of objects and phenomena, but is often accompanied by an eye assessment of distances, areas, heights and their ratios.

Graphical analysis consists in the study of constructions made according to the maps. Such constructions are profiles, sections, block diagrams, etc. Using the methods of graphical analysis, regularities in the spatial distribution of phenomena are revealed.

Graphical analysis subdivided into cartometric and morphometric. Cartometric techniques consist in measuring the length of lines on maps, determining coordinates, areas, volumes, angles, depths, etc. Morphometric techniques allow you to determine average height, thickness, power of the phenomenon, horizontal and vertical division of the surface, slopes and gradients of the surface, sinuosity of lines, contours, etc.

Numerical indicators of the prevalence of objects, the relationship between them, the degree of influence of various factors allow us to establish methods of mathematical and statistical analysis. Using methods mathematical modeling spatial mathematical models terrain.

Geographic description of the area is compiled after a preliminary study of the map and is accompanied by measurements and calculations based on a comparison of lengths, angles, areas with a linear scale, a scale of foundations, etc. The basic principle of description is from the general to the particular. The description is structured as follows:

1) card details(nomenclature, scale, year of publication);

2) description of the boundary of the area(geographical and rectangular coordinates);

3) relief characteristic(type of relief, landforms and the area and extent they occupy, marks of absolute and relative heights, the main watersheds, the shape and steepness of the slopes, the presence of ravines, cliffs, gullies with an indication of their length and depth, anthropogenic landforms - quarries, embankments, excavations, barrows, etc.);

4) hydrographic network- names of objects, length, width, depth, direction and speed of the flow of rivers, slope, nature of the banks, bottom soil; characteristics of the floodplain (size, presence of old channels, floodplain lakes and the depth of swamps); Availability hydraulic structures, as well as bridges, ferries, fords and their characteristics; description of the reclamation network, its density; the presence of springs and wells;
