Abstract

This note presents some quantitative techniques for the correlation of morphographic and orphometric data.  The slopes play an important role according to their exposure to air masses, and this leads to morphogenetic processes of varying intensity. This impact is correlated with the surface area, estimated in km2, of exposed slopes. In addition, the slope is estimated as an element for judging the quality of drainage. In the XI Region, the marshy areas constitute an interesting agricultural and livestock interesting agricultural and livestock potential, which has not yet been geographically explored.
