Glaciation Traces in the Area of the Risnjak Mountain Massif
Description (Dublin Core)
<div>The area of the Risnjak mountain massif is a submorphological</div><div>region - part of the mesomorphological region of the south-western</div><div>Gorski Kotar. This area exceeds 1,500 metres in height. In the relief</div><div>structure of the massif, the system of ranges and erosion surfaces -</div><div>plateaux has been formed on the folded block, mostly carbonate base</div><div>by subsequent microtectonic activity and exoomorphological processes.</div><div>Such relationships of relief under conditions of exceptionally low</div><div>temperatures and abundance of snow precipitation during the Pleistocene,</div><div>were prerequisites for the development of glaciation. Glaciation</div><div>of the mountain massif was marked by formation of the valley,</div><div>plateau and cirque glaciers, which is proved by the discovery of glacial moraines and other morphological features and corresponding sediments.</div>
