The influence of sub-Quaternary basement on the development of Lower Odra Valley in Pleistocene and Holocene

Abstract

The relations between the development of Lower Odra Valley in Quaternary and the basement are described. The influence of the salt tectonics on the development of relief and the facial development of the area was especially stressed. In the relation of Odra River bed with sail pillows, the pattern of the XVIII-th century river bed system of so called Old Odra was considered. The problem of the influence of the salt tectonics on the development of Odra Lobe is considered to be the broader background of the phenomena in the Odra Valley.
