On distribution of slope deformations In the north-eastern part ot the Vizovická vrchovina Highland in Eastern Moravia

Abstract

The slope deformations were surveyed and documented through engineering-geologic mapping and detailed geomorphological mapping in the north-eastern part of the Vizovická vrchovina Highland. Altogether, 93 localities of slope deformations were identified, which include displays of creep, sliding and rock fall. New findings on the relation of slope deformations to environmental controls arose apart from the identification of slope deformations types. Further output is a new insight into the geomorphology of the area. Special attention was paid to the deep-seated slope deformations which play the important role in the development of central mountainous slopes of Vizovická vrchovina Highland
