Abstract
The relationship between heat flow and/or the depth of the Moho discontinuity and recent vertical movements based on repeated leveling is tentatively discussed. Studies were made in central and east European regions with the help of data supplied by the International Center on Recent Crustal Movements. For analytical purposes the area under study was divided into suitable subareas displaying tectonic features as uniform as possible. As may be inferred from the obtained results, areas of young orogenic belts are characterized by increased vertical movements with increasing heat flow. There is an inverse relationship in the areas of platform nature: subsidences increase as heat flow increases. A less distinct relationship exists between the depth of the Moho discontinuity and the vertical movements.
