Wietrzenie i zaburzenia mrozowe w stropie detrytycznych utworów sarmackich na Płaskowyżu Szanieckim i Pogórzu Szydłowskim

Abstract

Detritic Sarmatian measures are strongly differentiated in both vertical and horizontal directions as regards lithology and compactness, which as a result brought about selective rock weathering. Three principal types of weathering can be distinguished. Further, several types of cryoturbative structures, connected with certain types of rock waste, have been observed in Sarmatian measures. Generally it can be stated that Sarmatian measures are resistant to large perviousness weathering; this is why the observed cryoturbative structures are not a common phenomenon among them.
