To distribution of Quaternary sediments on the Červený kopec (Red Hill) in Brno.
Demek, J. ; Havlíček, M. ; Kirchner, Karel ; Nehyba, S. ; Lisá, L.
Complex of Quaternary sediments was exposed on the SE slope of the Červený kopec (Red Hill) in the southern part of the Brno city. The Hill bedrock is composed of red quartzose conglomerates and arkoses of Lower Devonian age (“Old Red”). The authors found several bodies of fluvial gravels and sands in the exposure deposited as river terraces by the Svratka river. The highest gravel body (surface cca 241 m, base cca 235 m a.s.l.) can be compared with Tuřany terrace of the Svitava R. dated paleontologically into Danubian Period.
Flared rock residua in granite low hills of the Czech highland
Hrádek, Mojmír
In granite low hills in surrounding of the towns of Třebíč, Velké Meziříčí and Slavonice the still less little described dwarf flared rock residua were found. In contrast to low granite domes flared rock residua reminding loose boulders occurs at exposed position near watersheds. With regard to missing large granite domes and inselbergs the dwarf flared landforms could be supposed as final stage of multiple phased development of etchplains in the Czech Highland. Important role in weathering play shallow undergroung water.
Influence of land-sliding on the relief of the NE part of the Vizovická vrchovina Highland
Kirchner, Karel ; Roštínský, Pavel
Altogether, 10 maps in a scale of 1:10.000 documenting slope deformations in the NE part of the Vizovická vrchovina Highland were made in the course of years 2000-2004 during engineering-geological survey (cca 450 localities). 3 main types of land-slides were distinguished, majority of them developed in a deluvial material: 1) land-slides generated in thick coluvial deposits on the slopes of structurally-controled ridges, 2) land-slides in central parts of slopes, being without direct connection to the drainage-network and 3) the most wide-spead land-slides being related to the present fluvial system. The great number (19%) of land-slides is situated in dry slope dells and amphitheatrical valley-heads. These types of depressions represent transitional forms between land-slides and valleys and seem to be evolving through alternating phases of sliding and fluvial depth erosion.
