Abstract
The Baške Oštarije karst polje is stretching out at the direction E - W at lenght of 3,75 km, while the width is varying from 0,25 to 2,0 km. It divides central from the south part of the Velebit mountain and it is formed at the contact of two orographic wholes. Besides karst and fluvio-karst processes, the derasion and periglacial processes have been most expressed at the relief formation. The water which flows down from edge parts of polje has great importance in relief formation because of its corrosional aggressivity.
Highlights
Oštarijsko polje divides the middle and southern part of Velebit Mt. representing at the same time one of the important ridges
Regarding the fact that Brušane fault cuts a fundamental monoclinal structure of Velebit Mt., exactly in the area of Oštarijsko polje, the zonal arrangement of lithostratigraphic units or members is disturbed by horizontal movement and distorsion of Brušane-Oštarije anticline (SOKAČ ET AL, 1970, 1976)
Oštarijsko Polje is a part of the main ridge and at the same time it orographically divides central from southern Velebit
