About article:
This paper deals with the distribution, origin and development of cryoplanation terraces in the flysch Carpathians. The terraces developed within the Beskidian planation level and are related to the bedrock structure. Cryoplanation terraces resulted from slope retreat during recurrent cold (periglacial) climate stages. Cryonival and cryoplanation processes led to the lowering of single or sets of rock beds forming frost cliffs. In the wet periods of the Holocene, the cryoplanation terraces were transformed by deep-seated landslides and by debris flows. At present, cryoplanation terraces can be found in two climatic zones: below 1600 m a.s.l. (moderate cool zone, with inactive periglacial processes) and above 1600 m a.s.l. (moderate cold zone, with active cryogenic processes).
