Crevice-type caves as indicators of slope failures: a review paying a special attention to the flysch Carpathians of Czechia, Poland and Slovakia

Crevice-type caves as indicators of slope failures: a review paying a special attention to the flysch Carpathians of Czechia, Poland and Slovakia
Carpathian Mountains ; Cave ; Czech Republic ; Deformation ; Eastern Europe ; Europe ; Fault ; Flysch ; Karst ; Poland ; Pseudokarst ; Slope evolution ; Slovak Republic ; Typology
This paper presents the issues of the close connection between the evolution of gravitational slope deformations and the formation of crevice-type caves. Furthermore, it presents a contemporary view on the regional distribution of crevice-type caves
in this area and outlines the recent progress and future possibilities of the investigation of this phenomenon. Based on the vertical distribution of different morphological zones within the caves and the main modes of their evolution, we can distinguish three
basic types of crevice-type caves: (i) translational/spreading type, (ii) toppling type and (iii) rotational type. - (EN)

Reconstruction of Alpine Cenozoic paleorelief through the analysis of caves at Siebenhengste (BE, Switzerland)

Reconstruction of Alpine Cenozoic paleorelief through the analysis of caves at Siebenhengste (BE, Switzerland)
Bern ; Cave ; Cave development ; Cenozoic ; Glacial erosion ; Karst ; Palaeogeography ; Palaeogeomorphology ; Springs ; Switzerland ; Th/U dating ; Valley
The cave region of Siebenhengste, situated north of Lake Thun, contains one of the most important cave systems in the world, which extends from 500 to 2000 m a.s.l. It has a complex multiphase history. The recognized speleogenetic phases are related
to spring level and to old valley floors. The results lead to the hypothesis that the uppermost (oldest) cave parts were already created in the Miocene, during and after the last deposition of the Molasse. Ideas about the evolution of the paleorelief suggest

River-derived slackwater sediments in caves along Cheat River, West Virginia

River-derived slackwater sediments in caves along Cheat River, West Virginia
Canyon ; Cave ; Flood ; Floodplain ; Indicator ; Pic discharge ; Sedimentation ; Silt ; Stratigraphy ; United States of America ; Watershed ; West Virginia
This paper describes flood-derived sediments found within caves of the Cheat River canyon. The stratigraphy of historical and paleoflood slackwater sediments, sedimentary units within slackwater deposits, and the origins are discussed and compared

Regularities in cave development in Wangchuan, North Qinling mountains.
In this region, NE and NW trending shearing fractures combined with E-W running faults form a tectonic system which is still active. It controls the level, extent, and direction of the karstic caves. Level caves at three different elevations reflect

Lithological and structural guidance on speleogenesis in Spluga della Preta cave, Lessini Mountains (Veneto, Italy)

Lithological and structural guidance on speleogenesis in Spluga della Preta cave, Lessini Mountains (Veneto, Italy)
Applied geomorphology ; Aquifer ; Cave ; Cave development ; Italy ; Karst ; Lithology ; Stream ; Veneto
Spluga della Preta is one of the first caves in Italy to be well studied and described from a geological and morphological point of view. Eighty years after its first exploration a large amount of lithological and structural data has been collected
in the whole karst system and detailed surface geological surveys were carried out. The step-like profile of the cave was initially considered as a consequence of base-level lowering stages related to the entrenchment of the nearby Adige River. In this work
lithological guidance of the horizontal levels is demonstrated, considering only the deepest passages to be palaeo-phreatic. The main tectonic structures guide the oldest and inactive parts of the cave, developed mostly within weakly cohesive fault breccias
, whereas the active streams are now deepened along secondary joints. Morphological analysis allows inference of a hypothesis concerning the speleogenetic evolution of the cave and its relationship with an upper perched aquifer hosted in the Cretaceous
