Relief and fossil weathering products in the surroundings of the town of Bruntál
The author describes geomorphological features and relief development as well as fossil weathering products in the surroundings of the town of Bruntál (Northern Moravia) in the area built of Devonian and Lower Carboniferous rocks. Among other he arrived at the conclusion, that tectonics played, indeed, an important role in the landscape evolution. The planation surface is an exhumed and remodelled basal front of weathering. The faults and joint zones have considerably influenced the valley pattern. The basin of Bruntál began to develop already before the Badenian (Miocene). The mean rate of the incision of the Moravice-River valley in the Pleistocene was 7 cm per 1000 years.
