The studied area of the Silesian Beskydy Mts and the Jablunkovská brázda Furrow is noted for a big concentration of slope deformations. The genesis and expansion of them are predisposed by structurally geological conditions in the Silesian and Magura nappes. Radiocarbon 14C dating of selected slope deformations proved a close link between the rise of slope deformations and the humid phase of the Holocene and flood activity of rivers in the basin of the Upper Vistula River Sensu Starkel (1997). Dated landslides fall into the period of the turn of the Late Glacial and the Holocene, Subboreal and Subatlantic.
