Geomorphological position of coarse clastic deposits of the Lower Miocene in wider area of the Bohutický les upland in the South Moravia and their relation to neotectonic landscape evolution
Roštínský, Pavel
The contribution deals with geomorphological aspects of the Lower Miocene gravel formations in the area of Bohutický les upland in contact zone between the Bohemian Massif (built up of solid basement rocks) and basin of the Carpathian Foredeep (filled with weakly consolidated Lower Miocene clastic sediments). In the top part and slopes of the upland, numerous denudational relicts of formerly more extended sedimentary covers are situated, originated due to differential neotectonic movements in the area during syn- and postsedimentary periods. Coarse fraction is commonly preserved which were the least prone to surface destruction. During detailed mapping, three main lithological components of gravels were distinguished, their areal distribution and relations to solid-rock forms of present-day topography were studied and their possible genetic processes were outlined. The acquired information, added with borehole data, were related to landscape evolution of the wider South Moravia area.
Sedimentary covers in the Bohutický les Upland area and their relation to the topography evolution
Roštínský, Pavel
The paper presents basic notes on geology and geomorphology of the Bohutický les Upland (South Moravia), an asymmetric horst situated in the contact area between the Bohemian Massif and Carpathian Foredeep. The distinct western scarp and some other striking morphological features of the elevation originated through the multi-phase alpine neotectonic transtensile reactivation of the important Diendorf Fault and associated dislocations in the Neogene and Quaternary. A complicated mosaic of solid Proterozoic/Palaeozoic bed-rocks, poorly consolidated Neogene clastics and Quaternary sediments developed in the area.
