Dleskovec Plateau
The Dleskovec Plateau ( sl, Dleskovška planota), probably named after Mount Dleskovec () in its central part, rarely also named the Vestibule (), is a karstified mountain plateau in the eastern part of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps in northern Slovenia. It lies between the Roban Valley, the Upper Savinja Valley, and the Lučka Bela Valley, to the southeast of Mount Ojstrica and to the northeast of the Big Pasture Plateau. It is oriented in the direction from the southeast to the northwest. It covers an area of about and is partly overgrown by forest and Mountain Pine. The highest point of the plateau is Mount Big Peak (; ), also located in its central part. Administratively, the Dleskovec Plateau belongs to the settlement of Podveža in the Municipality of Luče. There are several mountain pastures on the plateau. On the southern side, there are Podvežak Pasture () with a hut, Ravne Pasture, and Vodole Pasture. There is also Planinšek Farm or Planica, which is the highest-ele ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hummocky Meadow
In geology, a hummock is a small knoll or mound above ground.Bates, Robert L. and Julia A. Jackson, ed. (1984). “hummock.” Dictionary of Geological Terms, 3rd Ed. New York: Anchor Books. p. 241. They are typically less than in height and tend to appear in groups or fields. Large landslide avalanches that typically occur in volcanic areas are responsible for formation of hummocks. From the initiation of the landslide to the final formation, hummocks can be characterized by their evolution, spatial distribution, and internal structure. As the movement of landslide begins, the extension faulting results in formation of hummocks with smaller ones at the front of the landslide and larger ones in the back. The size of the hummocks is dependent on their position in the initial mass. As this mass spreads, the hummocks further modify to break up or merger to form larger structures. It is difficult to make generalizations about hummocks because of the diversity in their morpholog ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
