Litologická predispozice, morfologie a rozmístění strkturních půd alpínského bezlesí Vysokých Sudet
  • Czech Republic ; Geomorphology ; Lithology ; Mountain ; Patterned ground ; Spatial distribution ; Sudety ; Tree line
  • It is evident that morphology and location of the patterned ground of the High Sudetes are significantly dependent on lithological conditions. The occurence of sorted polygons is dependent particularly on quartzite ; earth hummocks prefer rocks
  • offering fine-grained/small-grained waste. Sorted polygone reach the largest horizontal sizes among all kinds of patterned ground, earth hummocks have the smallest horizontal sizes. Many temporary forms among all kinds of patterned ground exist in the High

  • About 750 examples of patterned ground forms at 25 sites in the High Sudetes mountains (Czech Republic) were classified using morphometric characteristics and environmental parameters. Simple parameters such as length, width and height of patterned
  • ground were measured in the field, with additional variables of elevation, intensity of deflation and regolith grain size. The surface morphometry of patterned ground, comprising relict sorted polygons and sorted nets and active earth hummocks
Patterned microrelief in grasslands in cold upland valleys in Papua New Guinea

  • This article presents the regional distribution of patterned ground in Poland, as this involves lowland terrain glaciated by the Scandinavian ice-sheet and mountains. The patterned ground occurring away from mountains is in the form of fossil large
A ground-water sapping landscape in the Florida Panhandle
  • A ground-water sapping landscape in the Florida Panhandle
  • Drainage networks that have formed by ground-water sapping are developed in the highly permeable sands of the Citronelle Formation in the Florida Panhandle. The valleys resemble those formed on Hawaii, the Colorado Plateau and on Mars, but they have
  • developed without significant lithologic controls. Drainage patterns range from treillis to dendritic depending on the effect of beach ridges and relative relief. Extension of the networks appears to be episodic, as a result of fires, hurricanes, and human
Arctic soil properties associated with micro-relief forms in the Bellsund region (Spitsbergen)

  • The following patterning of the ground surface was observed in the Bellsund region: sorted circles, mud boils, cell forms, solifluction (striped) forms and large polygons (tundra polygons). The soils associated with these forms often have different
