GLACITEKTONIKA WYBRANYCH OBSZARÓW POLSKI (z 5 fig.)

Abstract

GLACIOTECTONIC SELECTED REGIONS OF POLAND (with 5 Figs.)Abstract. The presented complete edition was prepared on the base results of the detailed (Detailed Geological Map of Poland in scale 1:50 000) and review geological mapping, published and archival data, as well as an explanations and symbols elaborated for Glaciotectonic Map of Poland in scale 1:1 000 000. Therefore this elaboration, presenting the regional description of the glaciotectonic features within selected regions of Poland, compose specific textural explanations for this map. Within the territory of Poland subdivided on following regions: North-Western, North, North-Eastern, Western, Middle-Western, Middle, Middle-Eastern, Southern, South-Eastern, glaciotectonicly disturbed landforms and sediments either expressed in recent relief or buried (stated in borings or in exposures) were described. Distribution of glaciotectonic features over the territory of Poland is related primarily to the presence younger glaciations and thickneses of the deformable substratum. Generally, the landforms and sediments were deformed by active ice sheets through the horizontal and vertical thrusts of the ice masses, as well as by vertical stress of the stagnant ice masses. The supplementary works under in details description of the glaciotectonic features in particular regions of Poland will be continued, as well as completed the contents of the Glaciotectonic Map of Poland in scale 1:1 000 000.
