Microforms of sandstone relief and their using in relative dating
Krbcová, Klára ; Křížek, Marek (advisor) ; Engel, Zbyněk (referee)
Microforms and mesoforms play the main role in the sandstone relief. Their origin is conditioned by some processes, the main are weathering and erosion. Based on the background research, the deffinition, classification, diagenesis and occurrence of sandstones was described. The second part of the bachelor thesis is focused on the mechanism of weathering and erosion. The microforms and mesoforms of the sandstone relief were divided into groups according to the guiding process of their origin. The description of the sandstone forms, the way of their origin, the stage of development and their extension were described. In the practical part of the bachelor thesis, the microforms in the gorge Apatyka in CHKO Kokořínsko were analyzed. The practical part was focused expecially on honeycombs, because their extension in the gorge is huge and they enable the complex analyse of their location in the gorge and in the rock outcrops. Using suitable methods it was found, that the honeycombs are located primarily in the eastern quadrant, their coverage decrease with the decreasing height of the rock outcrops and their presence in the lowest and the highest parts of the rock walls is limited. The second part of the fieldwork was focused on the relative dating of the parts of the gorge with honeycombs. The odlest part of the...

Variability of glaciofluvial sediments micromorphology
Krbcová, Klára
Micromorphology of glaciofluvial sediments were only partially shown by Mahaney et al. (2001). This paper deals with the main diagnostic textures of glaciofluvial sediments and changes of their micromorphology caused fluvial transport. The samples were collected. All samples were collected by Peter Mida and Martin Hanáček in Svalbard in August 2012. Two glacial samples and six glaciofluvial samples were taken near the glacier Bertilbreen and one glacial sample and seven glaciofluvial samples were taken near the glacier Hørbyebreen. Samples were examined under electron microscope. The correlation analyses was used to set the main glaciofluvial microtextures. Similarity of the samples was tested by one-way ANOVA. Increasing numbers of V-shaped pits, rounded grains, meandering ridges and microblocks are typical for characteristic microtextures of glaciofluvial grains which had greater rate of fluvial transport. But the grains mainly transported by glacier had a greater percentage occurence of subangular grains, straight steps, straight and curved grooves, adhering particles, pitting and V-shaped etch pits. Keywords: exoscopy, quartz grains micromorphology, glaciofluvial sediments
