Abstract

AbstractThe principle of tree diagrams is applied to the classification of physical-geographic objects. Starting with a tree of logical possibilities, the author first eliminates logically possible classes that do not occur in any real situation, and then eliminates factually possible classes that do not occur in a particular regional setting. The technique, which is said to insure complete, logically consistent and, at the same time, legible classifications, is illustrated with a classification of the intermontane basins of the Stanovoy upland of Siberia. Out of a total of 1344 logically possible classes, 24 are found to be realized in the given regional setting.
