National atlas of Hungary

Summary

This abstract covers three geographical papers. The first introduces the compilation of the National Atlas of Hungary, initiated in 1959, comprising 96 map pages that represent geophysics, geology, geomorphology, meteorology, hydrology, biogeography, agriculture, industry, transport, population, administration, and socio-cultural conditions, emphasizing interconnected factors for better comprehension. The second discusses the landform map of Mexico, created using a 'geostenography' system to transfer data from aerial photos, revealing the Cordilleran cross-section, block faulting, volcanism, and regional features such as Baja California's canyon dissection and the Sierra Madre Oriental's folded system. The third examines slope development in Kärkevagge, northern Scandinavia, through direct observation and measurements, finding that sporadic catastrophic mass movements (e.g., rock-falls, mud-flows) triggered by extreme weather are quantitatively dominant, while continuous processes (e.g., solifluction) prepare slopes over years.
