Relations between morphodynamics and fractal dimension of relief in some study areas of Italy
Pages 29-34
Abstract
Preliminary results of investigations concerning the application of fractal analysis to the study of the main geomorphic features of different Italian areas show several cause-effect relationships between structure, morphogenesis and fractal properties of relief. In particular, the fractal study of contour lines and topographic surfaces clarifies some aspects regarding the recent morphologic evolution of these areas.
