The use to morphometric parameters in tectonic geomorphology (on the example of the Western Beskydy Mts)

Abstract

The aim of the study is the application of some morphometric parameters for morphotectonics research of the culmination area of the Outer Western Carpathians within the Czech Republic. With the use of morphometric characteristics of basins known zones are verified and potential zones of neotectonic activity ass delimited. With the use of statistic methods differences between main nappe units of the area are defined and dependence between chosen structural characteristics and georelief is determined
