Regarding satellite images, the appearance in hardcopy enlargement of linear and areal tonal differentiations forms 
finally the presentation of visual features that concern subjects of relief (watersheds, draingage); geologic-geotechnical 
subjects (boundaries of geologic formations, faults), vegetation areas, roads etc. The place of areas that presented certain 
features was marked on an overlay as it is indicatively shown for Landsat Band 1 in Fig. 1. 
The results of Landsat and Spot image interpretation are listed below. 
Landsat images 
Band 1 (Fig. 1). Particular dark tone appears at great extent with intense contrast at certain areas. We recognized: forest 
areas at 1-2-3-4, relief (indications for relief) at 5-6-7, drainage at 8-9, alluvial deposits at 10-11-12-13, faults at 14-15, 
roads (discernible at great extent in the peninsula), coast outline (slightly unclear at certain places).

a. Landsat image band 1 overlay. 1-16: places of recognized features. 
b. Contours 300, 700 m. 
c. A, B, C: areas of stereoscopic interpretation of airphtographs. 
For the following bands we refer to the most particular features, comparisons and correspondence among them. 
Band 2: Lighter tone and decreased contrast appear. The features that were listed in Band 1, are recognized. 
Band 3: Boundaries of geologic formations. 
Band 4: Very light tone, low contrast, enhanced appearance of relief, more discernible drainage, clear coast line, clear 
road network. 
Band 5: Darker than Band 4, relief, drainage, roads, alluvial deposits, clear coast line. 
Band 6: Generally blurred appearance. Most of the previously mentioned features are not discernible.
