Geocache Description:


CZ:    Opusteny lom nabizi v soucasne dobe nejlepsi odkryv piskovcoveho vyvoje chlebovickych vrstev tesinsko-hradistskeho souvrstvi s dobre vyvinutymi texturami turbiditu. Lom ma vyznam jako typova lokalita piskovcu chlebovickeho typu a dale jako vyukova lokalita pro studium turbiditu. Lokalita je zarazena i na trasy exkurzi.

Turbidit je sled usazenych hornin.
Turbiditni geologicke formace maji svuj puvod v proudech sedimentu, sledy sedimentu opakovane se ukladajicich formou podvodnich lavin, ktere jsou odpovedne za distribuci velkeho mnozstvi ulomkovitych usazenin v oceanu.

Úkoly / Podminka pro uznani Vaseho logu
1.         Pridej do logu fotografii s ukazkou turbiditu z mistniho opusteneho lomu.
2.         Odesli nam cestou emailu pres profil GC alespon dve odpovedi na nize polozene otazky.
    a) Jaky sklon maji kontinentalni svahy (upati) a kolik kilometru mohou byt siroke?
    b) Kdo v geologii prvni podrobne popsal turbidity?
    c) Co je flyš a z ceho se nejcasteji sklada?

Lom je dlouhodobe opusteny a proto necekejte uchvatnou prirodni scenerii, ma vsak velky geologicky vyznam.

EN: Abandoned quarry with outcrops of the Chlebovice Beds of the Tešín-Hradište Formation of the Baška Development of the Silesian Unit. Chlebovice Beds are in sandstone developmnent. Typical flysch sequence with Bouma sequences.

Turbidite is a sequence of mineral sediment.
Turbidite geological formations have their origins in turbidity current deposits, which are deposits from a form of underwater avalanche that are responsible for distributing vast amounts of clastic sediment into the deep ocean.



Tasks / Condition of recognition of the log
1. Add a log to a photo with turbidite example from a local abandoned quarry
2. Send us through email via GC profile of at least two answers to the questions below.
    a) What tends to have continental slope and how many kilometers can be broad?
    b) Who in the geology of the first to detail the turbidite?
    c) What is Flysch and what is most often composed?

Quarry is a long-abandoned and therefore do not expect breathtaking natural scenery has great geological importance.
