Theology of earthquakes
ŠTĚPANČÍKOVÁ, Petra
The master thesis deals with importance and meaning of earthquakes as a natural process as well as natural disasters in areas where earthquakes cause heavy damage to lives or properties. The goal of the thesis is to answer the question whether God reveals himself and his divine actions in earthquakes provided that he discloses himself in all his creation in the natural world. A complete list of references on earthquakes in Bible has been compiled and it shows that earthquakes mostly precede or accompany very important events, theophany, and eschatological happening, which always point to God´s glory, power and magnificence. The thesis summarizes historical evolution of theodicy related to earthquakes as natural disasters. There is a paradigm shift from God´s responsibility to responsibility of humankind, in relation to structural sins of the rich against the poor who most suffer during the natural disasters. The thesis offers also synthesizing view on earthquakes as natural process, especially how they reflect God´s invisible characteristics, such as God´s power, glory, magnificence, freedom, wisdom, eternal activity, order, harmony, balance, and beauty.
Morfological displays of valley's evolution in Králický Sněžník Mountains
Košíková, Karin ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Štěpančíková, Petra (referee)
Valley as an area where records of former activity in upper and lower partsof the region have been deposited, is a valuable source of information suitable for research from which the evolution of the area and the surroundings can be understood. The core of the tesis were the measurments of longitudinal and cross profiles in the field focusing on recording the protrusions. Longitudinal profiles were displayed in the form of a normative graph and based on the characteristics of shape were, using the cluster analysis, dividend into four main classes. With regards to the classification into classes, the distribution of levels in longitudinal and cross profiles has been studied, in connection with tectonics condition of the area. To better understand the development of the Králický Sněžník Mountain, planation surfaces have been defined in altitudes 925-955, 980-995, 1070-1120 and 1210-1325 m.a.s.l.. All the findings have led to better understanding the relationship among levels in longitudinal and cross profiles, planation surfaces and the litological and tectonical conditions in area of interest. The places where the fault had not been expected were further studied and the presence and mutual relation of relief elements indicate the fault might run there.

Morphological types of selected valleys in the High Sudetes
Košíková, Karin ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Štěpančíková, Petra (referee)
Valley is a place, where the record about processes realizing upstream and downstream is deposited. It's valuable source of information about the evolution of landscape around. The Bachelor thesis is focused on creating the genetic classification of valleys, where the evolution and shape were described, then some characteristics useful for studying longitudinal profile were set also. Studies of metrics were performed in GIS. Main interest was attended to lengths, widths and shapes of valleys of Králický Sněžník mountains. Correlation matrix of parameters and dendrogram, which was used to delimit four clusters, were created. Through this Bachelor thesis, where more komplex analysis was used, good applicability of used metrics was shown. This method could be used in Králický Sněžník mountains and in future it could be aplicated in different localities also. Keywords: valley, genetic typology, longitudinal profile, Králický Sněžník mountains
Valley evolution of the Kladská Bělá river
Stemberk, Jakub ; Štěpančíková, Petra (advisor) ; Migoň, Piotr (referee) ; Adamovič, Jiří (referee)
The PhD. thesis deals with the morphostructural evolution of the valley network of the Biala Lądecka river, (further refer as BL) during the Late Cenozoic. In this work, the selected methods as geomorphological research (morphostructural analysis, geomorphological mapping), structural-geological research (paleostres analysis) and geophysical survey on selected sites were used, to answer the questions of river basin development and its relationship with predicted tectonic activity within the area, as well as with anticipated or already known paleohydrographic changes. The BL basin is situated within the Rychlebské hory Mts. / Góry Złote (northern and eastern parts of the basin), Králický Sněžník (southern part) and the Krowiarki Mts. (western part) in Poland. The Marginal Sudetic fault zone, which represents one of the most important tectonic zones in the Central Europe, passes in vicinity of the study area as well as the regionally important Bělský fault, which passes directly through the BL basin. The results of the analysis indicate that the BL basin has undergone very complex development due to tectonic movements since Miocene up-to-day. Based on the results of the paleostress analysis, which was performed on the dated volcanites in Lutynia - Lądek Zdrój area, the parameters of the palaostress...
Valley evolution of the Biala Lądecka drainage network during late Cenozoic, Lower Silesia, Poland
Stemberk, Jakub ; Štěpančíková, Petra ; Tábořík, Petr ; Coubal, Miroslav
Biala Lądecka (Biala Kłodzka) river is located in Lower Silesia (Poland) and its valley separates Góry Złote Mts.\n(Rychlebské hory Mts.) on the NE from Góry Bialskie Mts. on the SW. We conducted geomorphic investigations on the Biala\nLądecka river basin, in order to determine if Quarternary tectonic activity at the Bělský fault (or near Marginal Sudetic fault) is\ncontributing to the river’s asymmetry. Our research was focused on analysis of selected landforms, DEM parameters,\nmorphometric indexes and their spatial distribution which could potentially indicate recent tectonic activity in the area. At\nselected places geophysical measures were used to discover proper location and structure of Bělský fault or presence of\nsuggested morpholineaments. Preliminary results suggest a Quaternary tectonic activity for the Bělský fault. Moreover we tried\nto clarify nowadays stress regime in study area based striae measurement on fault planes and precise monitoring of selected\nfaults using TM-71 device.
Late Quaternary activity of slow-slip intraplate Mariánské Lázně fault as revealed by trenching and shallow geophysical survey; Bohemian Massif (Czech Republic, central Europe)
Štěpančíková, Petra ; Fischer, T. ; Hartvich, Filip ; Tábořík, Petr ; Rockwell, T. ; Stemberk, Jakub ; Široký, J. ; Sana, Hamid
The NNW-SSE trending Mariánské Lázně Fault (MLF) zone is situated in the western part of the Bohemian Massif (Czech\nRepublic, central Europe) where it intersects NE-trending Cenozoic Eger rift. The northern segment of the MLF controls the\nmorphologically pronounced mountain front of Krušné hory Mts. and eastern limit of Cenozoic Cheb basin, which is famous for\nearthquake swarms (max. ML=4.6) and CO2 emanation. We performed 2D and 3D geophysical survey (electric resistivity\ntomography, ground penetration radar) and 3D trenching to look for large surface-rupturing prehistoric earthquake responsible\nfor pronounced moutain range front. Seven excavated and six hand-dug trenches revealed a complex geology and deformation\nat the study site probably as a result of right-lateral transpression during Late Quaternary. Two Holocene earthquakes 1150-590\nBC and 780-1000 AD were inferred from 14C dating of faulted Holocene colluvium with corresponding magnitudes Mw=6.7-7.0.\nThe latter one is the youngest documented surface-rupturing event in central Europe.\n

Planation surfaces in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts.
Jablonská, Danica ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Štěpančíková, Petra (referee)
Remnants of planation surfaces in Hrubý Jeseník were noted in many geomorphological studies made in the studied area. However, the levels of planation surfaces were never described. The present study deals with the determination of the levels of planation surfaces (the amount of levels) and its connection to neotectonics. The whole area was divided into three parts (Pradědská, Keprnická and Orlická part). Histograms of elevation frequency, the cumulative graph of the area of planation surfaces and the statistical test show six levels of planation surfaces. Six levels were determined in Pradědská and Orlická part and four levels in Keprnická part. The levels of planation were compared to similar areas in the Sudetes. These intervals have significant representation of the flat surfaces within. Six levels of planation surfaces were determined. The main periods of uplift were presented based on the intervals between the levels of planation surfaces. The minimum uplift in the central, most active part is estimated to be 450 m.
