Tectonic deformations and paleostress fields in the rock complexes of the Pieniny Klippen Belt in the city of Szawnycta (Poland)

Abstract

Purpose of the paper is study of faults and folds and reconstruction of paleostress fields in rock complexes of the Pieniny Klippen Belt in Pieniny Mts. area (Southern Poland) . On the right bank of the Danube River in the south-western outskirts of the city of Szczawnytsia (Southern Poland), numerous fold and fault deformations, their kinematic types and structural patterns were studied As a result of the research, the kinematic types of fault, their relationships and features of development in various paleostress fields were determined
