Rock slopes of the High Tatras mountains

Auteur :
KALVODA, J.

Description :
Substantial part of the alpine relief of the High Tatra is composed of rock slopes. Geomorphological analysis shows that the development of high rock slopes on crystalline rocks is guided, in principal, by their morphostructural position and by the glacial and cryogenic modellation in the Pleistocene. Postglacial and recent changes continue in mainly periglacial conditions. Detailed observation of rockfall events in the High Tatras National Park will allow long term prediction and also local forcasting. - (MS)
