Description
Summary:Through the morphometric analysis of a three-dimensional Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Republic of Armenia (RA) at a 1:200000 scale, circular forms of the relief have been discovered by the authors of this article. The largest and the most distinctive ones have forms which have specific features of geomorphological structures and are described herein. Exposure in relief, features of geological and tectonic structure, spatial proximity of ore deposits and possible origin of several circular structures are discussed in the article. A map of spatial distribution of circular structures on the territory of the RA and large scale shaded relief maps of the most typical groups of circular structures and single structures are presented.
