The Baltic shield relief and its development

Auteur :
MISKOVSKY, K.

Description :
With regard to its etchplain character, it is proposed by the A. that the development of the Baltic Shield relief can be ascribed to the chemical weathering that took place in Northern Europe during the Silurian-Carboniferous and the Jurassic-Tertiary periods. The resulting weathering crust was probably removed during the Permian-Triassic (stripping) and Quaternary (glaciations). Neotectonic crust movements continuously modify the relief of the Baltic Shield.
