THE USE OF LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM IN GEOMORPHOSTRUCTURALANALYSIS ON THE EXAMPLE OF INOWROCLAW

摘要

The importance of GIS detailed data for geomorphostructural study is discussed. This paper is a case study in the area of Inowroclaw (central Poland). This small area is a place being a concentration of geological processes and its relief depicted by a number of height points (with determined elevations of satisfying accuracy required in the analysis) demonstrates their effects. The invented approach is based on a numerical analysis of actual and theoretical relief surfaces. Considering the area type this study involves a high resolution model of the relief. There are specified examples of correlation between morphological features and tectonic structures. The presented results prove a role of structural elements (faults) in development of geomorphostructural features and a tectonic mobility as a significant factor forming the area relief.
