ABSTRACT

Results of detailed geological-geophysical investigations of two large lanslide areas, The Hradisko Hill landslide in the vicinity of Pulčín village and the Jambor’s farm landslide in Halenkovice, from the Flysch Belt are presented. Both localities are momentarily used as model landslides for a study of theoretical aspects of landslide activation, evolutionary processes and monitoring. Both areas are genetically totally different with a long term evolution of landslide phenomena. The oldest slope deformations date probably to the Pleistocene. The flysch complexes are formed by alternating layers of claystone and sandstone. The extreme precipitation in July 1997 resulted in new slope failures and activation of slope movements of earlier origin.
