Ukształtowanie podczwartorzędowej powierzchni w Kotlinie Oświęcimskiej

Abstract

The sub-Quaternary surface of the Oświęcim Dale has been reconstructed on the basis of ample drilling material. It ought to be stressed that the reconstructed sub-Quaternary relief is considerably more variegated than the present-day one. The main features of sub-Quaternary relief in the Oświęcim Dale had been formed during the late Tertiary period. During the Glacial Period it was re-modelled anew: a number of culminations and depressions in sub-Quaternary relief has no equivalents in contemporary relief. In general, sub-Quaternary relief is more diversified, and has less uniform culminations, as well as deep-out valleys.
