The Isostatic Conditions in Relation to the Recent Vertical Movements of the Earth’s Crust in the West Carpathians

Year, pages: 1976, 122 - 131

In the submitted paper, the authors deal with an analysis of the isostatic conditions and the recent vertical movement tendencies in relation to the subsurface geological structure and the morphostructures in the West Carpathians. A good correlation has been found between the compensation conditions, the depths of Moho-discontinuity, the Neotectonic blocks on the One hand, and the respective types of morphostructures on the other. The recent movement tendencies of the Earth’s crust have generally a direction of compensating isostatic movements between the individual blocks. respectively the morphostructures.
