MORPHOGRAPHIC-MORPHOSTRUCTURAL INVESTIGATIONS OF VELEBIT ON THE BASIS OF ORBITAL COLOURED PHOTOGRAPH M 1:200.000 WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO THE RUTS OF PALEOSTREAMS
VILKO KLEIN
Abstract
In this work the autor deals with morphographic-morphostructural division of the mountain of Velebit by means of the coloured orbital photograph M 1:200.000. The most important seems to be bipartite rcsp. quadripartite transversal division of the mountain and the
phenomenon of its cuneiform morphographic structure. A lot of ruts of the arch-bent elements of an old valley-net rcsp. of paleostream beds can be noted there. It all suggests that a great number
of streams was running through the present-day high mountain residual plateau of Velebit some time in its geological past. It was the time when mountain was a part of its and that of Lika's
lower laid and more extensive plateau. The separated arch characteristics of the relief reconfirm the presence of annular structures outlined spherically or ovaly. They so seem to be further particularity of the morphostructural pattern of Velebit. Likewise, the possibility of fractal analysis of the chaotically arranged relief
elements of Velebit has been pointed out.
