COMPARISON WITH FRACTUREYS KNOWN
FROM THE GEOLOGICAL MAP
The geological map of Yugoslavia (1:500,000) and the manu-
Script geological map of Macedonia (1:200,000) were used in
this correlation. Results were the following:
- The faults seen in field, which control the general
distribution and relations of units, can be detected on the
Scanogram only if dividing areas of different albedo and
texture. They control the relief and drainage in only a
small percentage.
- Two main space-observed systems are renegant to the
older fabric and cannot be kinematically related with it.
- Being closely related kmkk to the present relief and
renegant to the older fabric, space-observed fracturos
should be regarded as neotectonic features.
These results may directly influence further imagery
interpretation of the Balkan Peninsula. If accepted, they
would point to the conclusions that the analysis of scano-
grams:
- may give relativi little data on fractures of geotectonic
importance, if they do not represent boundaries of domains
differing in albedo and texture,
- may give sufficiently important minerogenic keys only
if ore-controlling fractures are young enough to be
mirrored in the relief, and
- might be very important in neotectonic and seismotectonic
studies.
COMPARISON WITH THE
PHOTOGEOLOGIC MAP
Several years ago present authors with other members of the
Laboratory for Methods of Geological Mapping (LMGK), Beograd,
made a photogeological map of the whole of the SR of
