Abstract

Morphostructural analysis as a set of several partial methods addresses the explanation of relationship between the geological structure (lithology, structural setting) and the relief within the area. Particular methods are either based on field research or include morphometric methods and methods of remote sensing, which analyse and process interdisciplinary cartographic data as well as digital elevation model (DEM) within the GIS. Field work involves particularly mapping of structural landforms and the fluvial landforms which could be potentially related to neotectonic activity. Moreover, it involves joint and fault analysis compared with results of morpholineament analysis in order to learn their potential causal relationship. Morphometric methods evaluate parameters of relief elements and their relationships. The results of these methods facilitate a selection of model, potentially geodynamic areas, as well as they confirm, complete or specify the results of the field research on the mathematical base.
