Description Modelling spatial distribution of geographic phenomena gives in reality a picture of territorial distribution of values of modelled features. Regardless the terrain is the limiting factor, the final picture of phenomena values is variously distant from the terrain composition. The terrain as a firm natural landscape surface plays the dominating role in the distribution of many various natural phenomena, as well as human products. This role is based on its critical function in the water, energy and material distribution. The final product is the typical and logical combination of terrain, rock, soil, water, warm and vegetation parameters of each site. Such combination of parameters represents a object of human interests – in the background of human interest is the maximum profit and minimum expenditure of time, energy and matter. This is why the terrain plays the dominating role in the spatial distribution of natural and human phenomena.
