| Description | The present flow landslide took place at the Kopce Hill in March 1999. The rock-soil debris usually creeps down the eastern slope but it was accelerated on sloping sandstone bed superface in a place of the flow. A prognosis based on the morphology analysis and on the shape changes monitoring can be estimated. The flow seems to be active periodically and it is a potential source of hazard in the future.Rapid mass movements represent dangerous environmental hazard in flysch mountain areas. Some of the movements occur more times in the same place. This chapter focuses on a landslide which took place in the eastern slope of the Kopce Hill in E part of the Vizovicke vrchy Highland. The Kopce Hill is built up with anticline of mostly sandstone and conglomerate beds of Magura Flysch Group. Mass movements have been connected with properties of the flysch rocks and with relaxing of the hill, due to very deep transversal recess of the Senice river. The flow is about 258 meters long and moved in a valley-like depression in March 1999. Some changes in a shaping of the flow can be observed after two years. Usually, the deluvial rock-soil debris creeps slowly down the eastern slope of the Kopce Hill. The surface wash transports exposed small sized fraction into depressions. The surface of the source area has been plain-shaped. |
