From the national digital elevation model DMV 5 of the Western Karavanke longitudinal profiles of fiftythree torrents were extracted. Longitudinal profiles of torrential channels in study area have generally convex sections and do not correspond to equilibrium state. In this paper, changes in lithology across faults and other potential influences are discussed as possible cause for observed convex longitudinal profiles. Some typical cases where it has been found, that convex sections could be result of faults, are graphically showed. Also lithology of torrential stream bed could be one of main factors for convexity. This applies in particular if the torrent crosses from soft to solid rock. IzvlečekIz državnega digitalnega modela višin DMV 5 območja Zahodnih Karavank so bili določeni vzdolžni profili 53 hudourniških strug. Vzdolžni profili hudournikov imajo večinoma odsekoma konveksno obliko in ne ustrezajo pogojem ravnovesnega stanja. V članku so kot možni vzroki za konveksnost vzdolžnih profilov obravnavane spremembe v litologiji preko prelomov in nekateri drugi potencialni dejavniki. Grafično so prikazani posamezni značilni primeri, kjer je bilo ugotovljeno, da so lahko konveksni odseki vzdolžnih profilov hudouniških strug posledica prelomov. Prav tako se je ugotovilo, da je lahko litologija podlage dna hudouniške struge eden izmed glavnih razlogov za pojavljanje konveksnih odsekov. To velja še posebej za primere, kjer hudournik preide iz mehkih v trdne kamnine.
