| description |
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.
