OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES OF DETAILED MAPPING OF THE LANDSCAPE OF MOUNTAIN AREAS (FOR EXAMPLE, THE NORTHERN ELBRUS) ^{[№ 9 ' 2016]}
Designing new and gentle operation of existing tourist clusters of the North Caucasus is impossible without the support of the modern detailed landscape maps. Front Range is a major kolchedanonosnogo metallogenic provinces of the North Caucasus. For this reason, in the second half of the 20^th century the area was mapped in detail and opoiskovana. For her, there are conditioning the geological maps of scale 1: 50,000 and 1: 200,000 for ore districts — 1: 25,000 and 1: 10,000. Almost all varieties of rock Front Range characterized petrographic, mineralogical, chemical and geochemically. Therefore, when drawing up the map lithogenic bases of the Front Range of our task (Chagarova, Potapenko) was to find ways to enable geologists collected data on the chemistry of the rocks in the landscape and landscape-geochemical maps medium (1: 200,000) and large scale. As such a method is proposed to provide petrochemical formations. For subnival belts offered us the original classification of elementary landscapes suitable in the preparation of the landscape and landscape-geochemical maps of scale 1: 200,000 and larger. Classification is based on field observations and deciphering aerial photographs characterizing abiogenic landscapes of high mountains. After spending a considerable photo-documentation of the highlands (subnival belt and part of mountain-meadow). Using a single published materials and personal experience, the author proposes an improved method of mapping the landscape of mountain areas, which allows to take into account the impact on the landscape structure of a set of geological formations of different chemical composition and no less complex set of slope deposits. An original nomenclature of denudation and accumulative landforms.
