Geomorphological regionalisation of Croatia

Abstract

Na temelju morfostrukturnih, morfogenetskih, orografskih i litoloških datosti izvršena je regionalizacija reljefa Hrvatske. Kao dopunski čimbenik uzeta je u obzir hidrografska mreža. Načelno svaka regionalna geomorfološka cjelina izdvojena je na principu homogenosti parcijalnih datosti, odnosno njihove sličnosti. Pri izdvajanju pojedinih regija vrednovani su morfo-litogeni čimbenici pojedinačno ali i intergralno. U određenim slučajevima korišten je i kriterij prostornih veza. Klasifikacija i hijerarhizacija regionalnih taskonomskih jedinica provedena je na temelju najuspješnijih do sada razrađenih i primijenjenih kriterija diferencijacija reljefa u svijetu.The relief regionalisation of Croatia is based on morphostructural, morphogenetic, orographic and lithologic conditions. Hydrographic network was taken into account as an additional factor. Basically, every regional geomorphological entity was singled out according to the principle of homogeneity of particular conditions, i. e. their mutual similarity. While singling out particular regions, morpho-lithogenic factors were evaluated individually, as well as integrally. The criterion of spatial connections was also used in certain cases. The classification and hierarchy of the regional taxonomic units was carried out on the basis of most successful investigations and applied criteria related to relief differentiation performed worldwide so far
