Since there is a close connection between the plot of sur-
face water and tectonics /the latter do preform the beds
and basins of water-bodies/ it seemed to be obvious to use
the help of this map in those parts of the regions about
which no space images were available,
At first we began to trace those linears on the map,which
were already detected on the space images and after it to
try to find their extensions on the map.
By this combined mode of interpretation long linears did
appear which do run to directions not expected, and have
connections never supposed before,
The circular features discovered formerly in the Mátra /1
in Fig.6./ and Bükk /2 in Fig.6./ mountains are very small
as compared to the new ones.
One of these mighty concentric ellipses /3/ /in Transdanu-
bia/ is in good accordance with the radial, straight lines
since the N-ern part of the ellipse runs through their
"focus" /Hh/, The same ellipse is on its W-ern side /5/
common with two other ellipses /which are not complete/.
It is further interesting to see, how do other, relatively
smaller circles, "ride" on the large ellipse /6/ and /7/.
A rather surprising feature in this area is that encircling
the Lake Fertd /8/ /Neusidler is Austria/. These oval lin-
ears suggest a growing depression.
POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS OF THE CIRCULAR FEATURES
It is a big contrast between the rigid, straight linears in
Fig.5 — the Alps — and the curved and circular or elliptical
linears in Fig.6. — the Carpathian Basin. The difference is
so striking that it is obvious: substantial dissimilarities
have to be taken into account as regarding the genesys and
processes forming both regions, The Alps may be referred to
as the classical battlefield of oonventional geology. The
Carpathian Basin — to the contrary — seems to be the model
for non-conventional geology /aerospace geology/.
It is well-known that the earthcrust is exceptionally thin
here /shown e.g. by the very high geothermal gradients and
the abundance of thermal-water resources/, This is in close
connection with the relative mobile character /the very
fast sinking of some parts and the relative ascend of the
mountains/, The mountains seem to rise diapiroid-like =
that means as if they would be pressed upward by forces
acting in vertical direction, The typical diapirs are more-
-r-less round-shaped — and this seems to be the case also
here, The vertical movement may be explained by the most
up-to-date theory /the more: fact/ of plate-tectonics, or
simply by isostasy.
But the very sophisticated picture of the most recent inten
pretation shows: other factors have also to be taken into
account; e,g, the turrents" of convection cells, the motor
of which is the internal heat of our Globe. The cells them-
