European geomorphologists and detailed geomorphological surveys were only occasionally made Not until after the 18 th Congress of IGU (International Geographical Union) in 19 56, did the importance of detailed geomorphological maps received international acknowledgment Two years later, three tasks were given to the newly created Subcomission on Geomorphological Mapping at the IGU congress in Stockholm:... disagreement on the nature of geomorphological maps and their contents The number of legends, representing different approaches and methodologies, has proliferated Most of them represent a specific national or regional outlook and very few, if any, meet all the requirements of comprehensive geomorphological mapping Since 19 70, the theoretical and practical importance of geomorphological mapping has increased . lake environments 10 6 MAIN LACUSTRINE LANDFORMS 10 8 glacial environments 11 1 GLACIAL PROCESSES 11 2 Creation and expansion of glaciers 11 2 Glacial weathering and erosion 11 3 Glacial deposits 11 5 Periglacial.
