The present-day face of the Bükk Mountains began to develop in the Miocene, when the Tertiary planated surface started to be dissected by valley incision and pedimentation. Karst processes on Triassic limestones intensified from the Pleistocene
on. Drainage from the previously buried karst inherited over the mixed karst surface. Surface water-courses were replaced by underground drainage through the process of bathycapture. The presently characteristic dry valleys attracted row dolines
, morphogenesis, morphometrical parameters). For precisely distinguishing between subcategories of landforms, the A. supposes a dissection index, calculated from relative relief and valley density. 9 main types and 23 subtypes are identified in Nógrád county
contamination was studied in a dry valley and on slopes of different exposure. A correlation between landforms and heavy-metal concentrations in the soil was sought for. The sample area was located near Cserépfalu in the Bogács basin.
on the flanks of the Kaszárnya valley, which cuts through the town. New housing areas were established in stages on interstream ridges of moderate landslide hazard and, to a lessser extent, on their slopes of strong landslide hazard. Urban development resulted
The Curvature Carpathians (between the Trotus and Dâmbovita river valleys) are the most complex sector of the Subcarpathians. They developed in the Carpathian foreland depression during the Miocene and Pliocene. This paper deals with the various
