Geomorphologic Analysis of the Javoří Hory Mountains Relief

Javoří hory Mountains is a part of Intra Sudetic Basin that belongs to the Permian-Carboniferous section of the Bohemian Massif, whose geological evolution was strongly influenced by volcanic activity. In the Pleistocene epoch cryogenic processes modeled the mountains significantly (frost cliffs, gelifluction streams), which resulted, in connection to the slope orientations, in substantial mountainside asymmetry, mainly as regards the slope. The current processes include fluvial processes (backward erosion in head water areas, development of ravines), mass processes and antropogenic activity, which was, however, limited in the beginning of the 90ies of the 20th century because Javoří hory Mountains were incorporated into the Broumovsko Protected Landscape Area.
