Forms of phyllonite weathering and denudation in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts.
Weathering and denudation forms of phyllonite (retrogressively metamorphosed gneiss) in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts. (northern Moravia) are described in this paper. Rock mesoforms (frost-riven cliffs, ridges and tors) are results of cryogenic periglacial processes. Numerous microforms of rock surface (such as rock hollows, tafoni, honeycombs and rock perforations) were formed by selective weathering processes of unequally resting positions of heavy schistose rock.
