Abstract

(Accepted for publication April 4, 1978) ABSTRACT: Vyskoĉar;il, P. 1979. New results on the properties of Recent crustal movements in the Bohemian Massif and its boundary with the West Carpathians. In: C.A. Whitten, R. Green and B.K. Meade (Editors), Recent Crustal Movements, 1977. Tectonophysics, 52: 193-201. Preliminary analysis of the new results of repeated levellings within the territory of the Bohemian Massif and its border with the Carpathians is made, and the correlation between horizontal gradients of vertical movements and main fault zones discussed. The results indicated the continuance of the main movement's tendencies, determined by the foregoing measurements. Also discussed are the vertical and horizontal crustal movements between the Bohemian Massif and the Carpathians. The active zones are connected with the main fault systems, and the horizontal movements indicated the spreading tendencies between both geological structures. These results are in accord with the tendencies of horizontal movements in the Soviet Carpathians.
