Relief development of the Slovak Western Carpathians in space and time

Rok, strany: 1998, 91 - 102

The Western Carpathians formed as a result of a collision of the NW projection of the Apulian microcontinent with the margin of the European platform. This collision took place during several stages which can be distinguished in the sedimentary record as well as in the erosional history. As a result of the collisional development an important Continental period started during the Cretaceous in the Western Carpathians. The collisional development during the Neogene caused not only horizontal and vertical movements, but also rotation of blocks. The maxima of sedimentation rate in molasse basins migrated not only in time but also in space. The formation of extensive synchronal levelled surfaces in source areas of the outer, inner and back molasse appears to be in contradiction to the conception of dynamic evolution in the Western Carpathians.
