A series of images of the Earth's surface obtained on the basis of satellite data and aerial photography shows bright objects of technonic genesis located in Mongolia, in the adjacent territory of Russia and China. Coordinates of objects can be sent upon request. Man-made landforms. This is a wide range of surface transformations as a result of human activity, depending on the type of activity, time, scale and technological capabilities. The question of anthropogenic landforms covers a long historical stage. In this work, for the territory of Mongolia, two periods are proposed. A. Early engineering structures (Historic). One of the earliest examples of objects are engineering structures - fragments of the "Wall of Genghis Khan" passing on both sides of the border of Mongolia, China and Russia. There are three such complexes: southwestern, southeastern and northeastern ramparts. The time of construction of structures is different: the northeastern rampart was created by the Khitan Liao empire (907-1125), the southwestern rampart, by the Tangut state Xi Xia (1038-1227) and the southeastern rampart, by the Jurchen Jin empire (1115-1234). The longest, latest and well-preserved is the southwestern shaft (Tangut wall), its length is 850 km (!). The complex of structures was built in the era of the Tangut state Xi Xia (1038-1227) and consisted of a defensive wall and related buildings. The pictures show 5 of its fragments. In Inner Mongolia, in the Alashan aimag, there was a large city, the trading center of the Tangut state - Khara-Khoto (1032-1372, Edzin, Heizhuncheng). Coordinates: 41.764414° / 101.143071°, height 957 m. It was this city that was described by Marco Polo and in his "Book of Wonders of the World" was captured by Genghis Khan in 1226, but flourished under the Mongol rule. The most significant in terms of area, surviving structures of the early period are the ruins of Khar-Balgas (Karabalgasun, Ordu-Balyk) - the capital of the 3rd Uyghur Khaganate (744-840). Coordinates: 47.430142° / 102.656228°, 1400 m. The capital of the Uighur Khaganate is located on the left bank of the Orkhon River, just 17 km northeast of the ruins of Karakoram. A large city with a population of up to 100,000 people had a clear layout of multi-storey buildings. Its territory was surrounded by a rampart, behind which there were irrigation canals, arable land and gardens. To the south-west of the central part of the capital, a fortress and a citadel were built, the walls of which have been preserved. Inside the fortress was a palace. To the south of the fortress there was a temple complex and household buildings of the Uighur Khagans. The city was captured, destroyed and burned in 840 by the Yenisei Kyrgyz. The photographs show fragments of the ruins of the steppe fortress, the layout of the ancient city is clearly visible. B. Engineering structures of the present. Modern industrial mining is associated with the movement of a significant amount of material extracted from the earth's interior. As an example of technogenic landforms and negative consequences for the environment, images of a number of deposits are given. FOLDERS INSIDE À.

World Imagery (ESRI Inc.) provides one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery in many parts of the world and lower resolution satellite imagery worldwide. The map includes 15m TerraColor imagery at small and mid-scales and 2,5m SPOT Imagery for the world. In other parts of the world, 1 meter resolution imagery is available from GeoEye IKONOS, AeroGRID, and IGN Spain. 3. World Imagery Clarity is a view of Living Atlas of the World imagery that publishes archived imagery that may be more clear and/or accurate than what is presented in the default. Additionally, imagery at different resolutions has been contributed by the GIS User Community. When preparing the design of a series of unified images, a scale scale and a circular scale with divisions in degrees were used (MapTools Inc.).
