Abstract
Geomorphological structure and morphometric features of Kremenets Mountains are determined. The differences in geomorphic structure, morphometric parameters of individual sections of the study area are highlighted. The opportunity of the modelling of morphometric parameters using GIS technologies is considered. Certain regularities in the distribution of morphometric parameters on investigated area are revealed. Morphometric data processing and the construction of a series of morphometric maps using GIS-analysis and spatial modelling for Kremenets Mountains are done. A number of basic morphometric maps of the territory of Kremenets Mountains are constructed, namely horizontal and vertical partitioning of the territory, steepness of slopes and slope exposure. Based on the constructed maps certain regularities of geomorphological features of the territory of Kremenets Mountains, morphological features of the relief components are detected. The value of morphometric parameters could be used in complex morphogenetic analysis of the area of study. Key words: Kremenets Mountains, morphometric analysis, morphometric parameters, watershed, relict hills, GIS (geographic information systems), digital elevation models, horizontal partitioning, vertical partitioning, slopes, slope exposure.
