The influence of aspect and altitude on the size, shape and spatial distribution of glacial cirques in the High Tatras (Slovakia, Poland)
Original language description
The shape of glacial cirques is generally considered to result from the combined actions of climate, topography, and geology. The goal of this article was to determine the dependence of cirque morphology on mesoclimatic conditions defined by altitude andaspect in the highest part of the Carpathians - the High Tatras. The morphology of each of 116 analyzed cirques was described using a set of 12 morphometric characteristics. The relationships between the obtained data were evaluated using simple and multivariate statistical methods. The results indicate that cirques in the High Tatras are scale-specific landforms with allometric development. Their occurrence increases with altitude, but their size decreases. The shape of the cirques is determined by altitude only to a small extent, with the exception of an increase in the degree of incision with altitude. The spatial distribution of cirques is negatively influenced by incoming solar radiation and positively influenced by moisture sourc
