Denudation surfaces of a shield area in south Sweden

Auteur :
LIDMAR-BERGSTROM, K.

Description :
Two sets of denudation surfaces have been delimited, the exhumed and the epigene ones. The sub-Cambrian peneplain is still of importance for the highest surface, and tilted tectonic blocks can be defined with reference to it. Its limit to the south and west is a more or less pronounced erosional scarp. The analysis provides an explanation for the present river patterns and leads to conclusions concerning Phanerozoic tectonics in the area.
