Abstract

SEASONAL AND ANNUAL VARIATIONS OF WEATHERING PROCESSES INTENSITY IN SELECTED CATCHMENTS OF INNER CARPATHIANSAbstract. The research results of the seasonal variability of chemical weathering intensity in three Inner Carpathian catchments (Bia³y Stream basin – Tatra Mts., Suchy Stream basin – Podhale, Macelowy Stream basin – Pieniny) which differs in climatic, geological and hydrogeological conditions were presented in the article. Due to the fact that the analyses focused on the observations of concentration changeability of particular components and the total mineralization of water did not allow to indicate any direct tendencies, the evaluation of the seasonal variability of chemical weathering intensity was based on the chemical denudation method uses the geochemical model.
