Mesoregion (geomorphology)
In some geomorphological taxonomies, a mesoregion is a natural region A natural region (landscape unit) is a basic geographic unit. Usually, it is a region which is distinguished by its common natural features of geography, geology, and climate. From the ecological point of view, the naturally occurring flora and ... of intermediate size.

Podhale-Magura Area
The Podhale-Magura Area (; known in Polish as the Orava-Podhale Depression, ''Obniżenie Orawsko-Podhalańskie'') — is a geomorphologic region of mountain ranges in northern Slovakia and southern Poland, belonging to the Outer Western Carpathians within the Carpathian Mountains system. Subdivision The Podhale-Magura Area consists of: * Skorušina Mountains (SK: ''Skorušinské vrchy'') + Spiš-Gubałówka Highlands (PL: ''Pogórze Spisko-Gubałowskie'') * Sub-Tatra Trench (SK: ''Podtatranská brázda'', PL: ''Rów Podtatrzański'') * Spiš Magura (SK: ''Spišská Magura'') + Spiš-Gubałówka Highlands (PL: ''Pogórze Spisko-Gubałowskie'') * Levoča Mountains (SK: ''Levočské vrchy''), with its highest point, ''Čierna hora'' (Black Mountain), 1,289 metres * Bachureň (SK) * Spiš-Šariš Intermontane (SK: ''Spišsko-šarišské medzihorie'') * Šariš Highlands (SK: ''Šarišská vrchovina'') * Orava Basin (SK: ''Oravská kotlina'') + Orava-Nowy Targ Basin (PL: ''Kotl ...

Pieniny Klippen Belt
The Pieniny Klippen Belt is in geology a tectonically and orographically remarkable zone in the Western Carpathians, with a very complex geological structure. It is a narrow (only 0.4 to 19 km) and extremely long (about 600 km) north banded zone of extreme shortening and sub-vertical strike-slip fault zone, with complex geological history, where only fragments of individual strata and facies are preserved. The Pieniny Klippen Belt is considered one of the main tectonic sutures of the Carpathians and forms the boundary between the Outer (externides a thin-skin thrustbelt) and Central Western Carpathians (internal thick-skin thrustbelt). The Pieniny Klippen Belt emerges from beneath the Neogene sediments of the Vienna basin near Podbranč in western Slovakia and continues eastward to Poland, where it bends and returns to Slovakia in the area of Pieniny. The klippen belt then continues to Ukraine and ends in Romania. In some places it is covered with younger deposits, f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Podtatrzański Trench
Sub-Tatra Trench (Polish: Rów Podtatrzański; Slovakian: Podtatranská brázda) ( 514.14) is a mesoregion located below the Tatra Mountains, part of the Orava-Podhale Depression. The trench divides the Choč and Tatra Mountains from the Spiš–Gubałówka Highlands. The region has an elevation of between 700 and 1000 m.a.s.l. It is formed from Eocene marlstone slates (Podhalański Flysch). In Poland, the area has a total length of 20 km and a total surface area of 130 km². The regional valleys incline in the north, covered with alluvial fans, formed via upper course river flow. The Zakopane Valley has three gravel top soil coverings from three separate glacial periods. The western part and eastern borderlands of the Podtatrzański Trench are forested. The main brooks that drain through the valley are the Czarny Dunajec, as well as the Zakopianka and Poroniec (sources of Biały Dunajec). The region is characterised by the settlement areas of Zakopane, as well as K ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orava Highlands
The Orava Highlands (in Slovak, ''Oravská vrchovina'') is a range of small mountains in the Žilina Region of north central Slovakia, part of the Outer Western Carpathians. In Slovakia these hills are considered part of the Central Beskids; in Poland they're considered Western Beskids. The highlands stretch along both sides of the Orava River, and cover an area about 220 square kilometers. It consists of two smaller areas: the ''Podchočská brázda'' (the Podchočská furrow) and the ''Veličnianska kotlina'' (Veličnianska basin). The highest of the relatively modest summits are ''Kopec'' (1251 meters), ''Machy'' (1202 meters) and ''Mnich'' (1110 meters), the last of which towers over the ski resort town of Zuberec. Geologically the highlands are composed of Carpathian flysch Flysch () is a sequence of sedimentary rock layers that progress from deep-water and turbidity flow deposits to shallow-water shales and sandstones.
