The areas selected as an example are mosaic images derived from satellite imagery and aerial imagery / World Imagery ESRI - STRATUM AND FOLD MONGOLIA AND CHINA

The areas selected as an example are mosaic images derived from satellite imagery and aerial imagery. This is the result of the interpretation of the land surface mapping data and its subsequent processing using the ArcGIS Desktop v10.3.0. Esri Inc., application tools and also using a graphical editor.

	Comment:
1. A series of images of the Earth's surface obtained on the basis of satellite data and aerial photography show bright geological structures located on the territory of Mongolia and China. Layers and folds (tectonic folded / plicative dislocations) are given for the Big Altai zone (Mongolian Altai and Gobi Altai), the Big Lakes Basin, the Lake Basin and the adjacent part of the Dzungarian Gobi and Eastern Gobi (Gobi-Shamo). The following is a list of 22 control sites. For their convenient search, the names of nearby orographic, hydrological objects or settlements are given. Coordinates of objects can be sent upon request.

	Mongolian Altai - the Hollow of the Big Lakes, the Hollow of the Lakes. 
Western and northwestern shores of Ubs-Nuur; the Khan-Khuhiin ridge, the southern and southeastern coast of Khyargyas Nuur; coast of Nara-Us (small and large); ridge Dzhalganat (sections Bulgan-Gol); Bulgan, southern periphery of the Sharga Basin (Shinezhist);

	Mongolian Altai - Dzungarian Gobi 
Border ranges Baitak-Bogdo, Khavtagiin Nuruu (sections Khun-Under, Tsagan-Mort); Bulgan Gol;

	Gobi Altai - Eastern Gobi (Gobi-Shamo)
The Noyon ridge and adjacent territories (sections - Gurvantes, Ovoot Khuran, Toorotiyin Khekh); southeastern part of the Gurvan-Saikhan ridge, Baga-Argalant ridge.

2. 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. 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.).
