An effective solution of neotectonic problems requires an interdisciplinary approach. In this paper, we present the frame of geomorphological approaches, which can contribute to understanding of the neotectonic problems. Various geomorphological methods (including morphometric analysis of the relief forms, analysis of morphotectonic lines, patterns, mountain front lines, facet slopes, flat surfaces, profile curves, valley textures and positions of alluvial fans) were applied in the area of the Považský Inovec Mts. The interconnection between the shapes of geomorphic forms and the potential of their formation by the neotectonic processes are widely discussed. The most obvious features of the recent tectonic activity observed in relief forms were identified in the area of the western mountain front line documented by occurrence of low dissected facet slopes and the mountain front line (with a value of the S index of only 1.09), well preserved upper flat surfaces and the even concave and levelled shapes of the longitudinal bottom valley profiles. Notable morphotectonic features were also analysed in other localities. The results of overall geomorphologic analyses were compared with other neotectonically significant data. From the spatial point of view, the data complement each other, which supports the idea of an interdisciplinary approach for better comprehension of the neotectonic problems. However, the chronological aspect is more heterogeneous. We discuss the disproportions between the traditional concepts of the Western Carpathian relief evolution and some of the recently gained numerical or relative geochronological data.
