Assessment of tectonic control on the development of low mountains moderate relief in the Outer Carpathians (Southern Poland)

Godziek, Janusz; Gaidzik, Krzysztof

2020 Journal of Mountain Science

doi:10.1007/s11629-020-6121-4

Inherited tectonic structures, ongoing tectonic deformation, and variations in relative rock uplift rates play an important role in conditioning the processes of relief development. Their influence among other factors, such as climate and lithology, can be quantified using landscape analysis, and...
