Lineaments and Lineament Relief in Bulgaria

Rok, strany: 1985, 231 - 240

The analysis of the linear elements in the relief such as faulted escarpments, monoclines, rectilinear sections of river valleys, etc., shows that there are five series of lineaments and lineament zones in Bulgaria. Four of them correspond to the cosmic series which belong to the orthogonal North-Southern, East-Western) and diagonal (North-Western, North-Eastern) Systems. The fifth (North-Northwestern) is viewed as local. The morphostructural lineaments fully coincide with the basic regmatic network’s directions, fixed by Bončev (1963, 1971, 1971a, 1983). Strong correlation exists between the regmatic network and morphostructural features, tracing the origin and evolution of the old morphotectonic units. They have been either entirely or partially activated or passively expressed in the contemporary relief. The lineament comprehensive characteristics, obtained by means of structural-geomorphological analysis, will enable the seismic and metallogenic zoning of Bulgaria.
