The impact of frost action and nivation on relief formation of Velebit Mt. (Croatia)

Although the Velebit is a relatively low mountain, situated in the moderate climate zone, there exist periglacial processes in relief modelling in its highest part. Their appearance is caused by interdependance of geological, geomorphological, climatic, vegetational and pedological influences, but also long antropogenic and zoogenic influences which accelerate the influence of periglacial processes in the relief modelling. Among periglacial forms the features which originated from the activity of nival and frost processes can be singled out.
