6.4.2 Slopes and Land Use
Slopes are very significant morphometric elements which influence numerous nat-
ural and anthropogenic aspects. In this work, only slope angle is analysed in detail,
although slope length and slope curvature also have considerable significance. Slope
angle of the high mountain in the Republic of Macedonia is derived from 69 m DEM
by applying an additional empirical correction factor (because of resolution) in the
form:
/150) (Milevski,
2005b
,
2008
, Table
6.6
).
The data show that the highest mean slope (from 25.8 to 24.1
◦
) has Korab, Shara
Mountain and Pelister, which are also the highest mountains in the country. The
causes for such high slopes are geotectonically predisposed steep sides and deeply
