Rodzaj procesów i form peryglacjalnych uwarunkowany zróżnicowaniem litologicznym w Górach Węgierskich

Abstrakt

The Hungarian Mountains, stretching over 380 km, consist of two fundamentally different mountain types: older block mountains composed mainly of dolomites and limestones, and younger volcanic mountains dominated by andesites and tuffs. Lithological differences significantly influence periglacial processes and landform development. Due to its texture, dolomite disintegrates rapidly, leading to the formation of fine-grained debris covers and intensive slope denudation. In contrast, thick-bedded resistant rocks such as andesites and sandstones weather much more slowly, forming massive block fields and talus accumulations. The study highlights the relationship between rock type and periglacial landforms, emphasizing the crucial role of lithology in shaping the landscape under periglacial conditions.
