The Moračke Planine Mountains, situated in the central part of Montenegro, were the center of intensive Pleistocene glaciation. Specific type of moraines - hummocky ones, which have not been recorded in the southeastern Dinarides up to now, were recently identified and investigated in western part of the Moračke Planine Mts. Moraine material accumu...

... character at the beginning of uvala, and turns into temporary one at its end due to extremely scarce surface flows. In the northern part of uvala appear few dry and shallow stream beds, in which periodically formed streams rapidly disappear. Southern part of uvala characterizes a number of irregularly distributed dolinas of different size (Fig. 2). All of them shared same characteristics, being built in moraine material. They are all wide and bowl-shaped dolinas of flattened bottom. Banks are from leached glacial material in which prevail limestone pebbles ranging in size from few centimeters to few decimeters. Meter-sized blocks occur infrequently. Grass vegetation between ...

... and subjected to pedogenetic processes. Hummocky moraines in south of the uvala Blaca are surrounded from west by higher crest of the lateral moraine Pobilje, and from south by higher crest of the lateral moraine Kobilja glava. Both lateral moraines join together on southwest into the terminal moraine closing the southern part of the uvala Blaca (Fig. 2). ...

Collapse is a common geomorphic process in karst areas, especially on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which has a tectonic background of integral uplift. The frequent occurrence of collapse processes in karst underground caves and canyons indicates that collapses play an important role in the formation of canyons. Through an analysis of the morphology...
