Abstract

Abstract— As a result of powerful local and regional geotectonic
movements, the landscape of North Macedonia (25,713 km2
) has a
typical chequerboard topography with frequent changes of
mountains and depressions. There are 38 mountain ranges, of which
13 extending above 2000 m are defined as high, while the highest -
Korab, reach 2753 m. Because of their geomorphological and overall
significance, geomorphometric features of these 13 dominant high
mountain ranges are analyzed in this work. The data are calculated
from a previously prepared 15-m DEM with particular attention to
hypsometry, slope gradient, aspect, and curvature. Based on these
variables, a simple classification of the high mountain ranges is
made
