Sažetak
Relief analysis comprise the drainage network, morphometry and origin of valleys, canyons, slopes, divides and traces. The occurance of abrasion cliff and other fetaures is contorlled by local rocks and geological structure. Exogenic landforms in the interior part of islands mostly result from karst processes. The evolution of the mountain ranges has been controlled by the compression tectonics, marked by shearing, retrograde rotation in very recent tectonically active periods.
