ON THE PROBLEM OF COMPLEX RECEPTIONS AND RESEARCH METHODS PATTERN THE RIVER NETWORK

The presented method has been clarifying the relation landforms with the structures of the crust, that is, it occupies an intermediate position between geomorphology and geotectonics. As a result of the synthesis of the experience of previous research, the search for new ways of summarizing data on structural features of the pattern of the river network, has formed a set of coherent instructional techniques analyze the pattern of the river network, a technique called erosion-structural analysis. Long-term experimental studies the authors based on the detailed design of an extensive cartographic materials, including physical-geographical maps of different scales, geological and tectonic maps and charts; metallogenic maps, satellite images. The place of erosion-structural analysis in solving the problem of knowledge communication between topography, geological structure and tectonics and practical significance.
