“…Considering paleomagnetic rotations (Márton & Fodor 1995, 2003, paleogeographic (Kázmér & Kovács 1985;Csontos & Vörös 2004) and geodynamic implications (Kovács et al 2007;Schmid et al 2008;Kovács & Szabó 2008;Ustaszewski et al 2008), the Balaton line is the continuation of the Periadriatic Line, separating the Eastern and Southern Alps. Because the name comes from lake Balaton ( Fig.…”

“…Balla (1984) and Csontos et al (1992) suggested that the ALCAPA and Tisza blocks underwent opposite rotations. The idea was based on paleomagnetic data (Márton 1985;Márton & Márton 1989;Márton & Fodor 2003). Bearing the sheared character of the MHZ in mind, the above mentioned changes in Paleogene and Early Miocene tectonic directions along the study area strike can easily be regarded as internally rotating blocks within the MHZ.…”

Abstract:Recently shot 3D seismic data allowed for a detailed interpretation, aimed at the tectonic evolution of the central part of the Mid-Hungarian Shear Zone (MHZ). The MHZ acted as a NW vergent fold and thrust belt in the Late Oligocene. The intensity of shortening increased westwards, causing clockwise rotation of the western regions, relatively to the mildly deformed eastern areas. Blind thrusting and related folding in the MHZ continued in the Early Miocene. Thrusting and gentle folding in the MHZ partly continued in the earliest Pannonian, and was followed by sinistral movements in the whole MHZ, with maximal displacement along the Tóalmás zone. Late Pannonian inversion activated thrusts and generated transpressional movements along the Tóalmás zone.

“…Genetically the karstic area of Veszprém belongs to the Transdanubian type which can be characterized by the significant affection of repeated tectonic movements and the faulting of the limestone and dolomite rocks into blocks (Bárány-Kevei, 2005). Due to the tectonic history, carbonate-and dolomite rubble-rich skeletal soils are characteristic to the area (Fodor et al, 2005;Márton and Fodor, 2003). The bedrock of the shallow soils is hard, cemented dolomite and limestone breccias (Fig.1B).…”

Abstract. Growth patterns of different plant species are primarily determined by edaphic factors, climate conditions and their species-specific adaptation properties. Changing sub-regional aridity trends due to the projected climate change like soil erosion and the invasion of alien plant species threaten the ligneous vegetation of karst areas. We aimed to study and model the potential effect of aridity on the growth rate of young individuals of the native Fraxinus ornus and its two important competitors, the exotic Pinus nigra and the aggressive invader Ailanthus altissima in a karstic forest-steppe of the Veszprém plateau, Hungary on different soil depths. Mean soil depth and the Thornthwaite agrometeorological index were used as covariates. Climate data were gained from the E-OBS gridded dataset for the period of 1950 to 2013 and from the MPI Echam5 climate model for the period of 2081 to 2100. We found significant correlation between the soil depth values and the measured heights and the average of monthly Thornthwaite agrometeorological indices. In conclusion, aridity and soil-depth have significant, but different effect on the growth patterns of the studied species. While the annual growth season of Pinus nigra and Fraxinus ornus are determined by the aridity of the months of January to May, and from February to June, respectively, the growth of Ailanthus altissima is mainly determined by the period of March to August. The climate prediction-based growth model predicts the decline of the growth patterns of each species for the 2081-2100 period in Hungary due to climate change.

“…It was made up of a lithosphere fragment which was broken off from the African Plate and reached its recent position by counterclockwise rotation process in 18-17 and 16-14.5 Ma in the Miocene Epoch according to paleomagnetic measurements (Tari 1991;Márton and Fodor 2003). The bulk of the Balaton Highlands is built up mainly of Middle and Late Triassic carbonates which were deposited on a shallow-marine carbonate platformin the western bay of the Neo-Tethys Ocean under tropical conditions (Pálfy 1991).…”

Metode vključujejo geomorfološko modeliranje ter geološko kartiranje in obdelavo podatkov vrtin. Razvoj topografije vrtače delimo v tri faze: 1) začetno obdobje zakrasevanja v zgodnjem in srednjem neogenu, 2) pozno neogensko in zgodnje kvartarno polnjenje z rdečo glino in dolomitnim meljem, 3) pokrivanje paleovrtače s puhlico in z njo povezano prstjo v kvartarju. Erozijske doline so se oblikovale v pliocenu in zgodnjem pleistocenu, holocenski erozijski jarki pa le v severnem in vzhodnem delu vrtače. Prerazporeditev smeri odtekanja deževnice je verjetno posledica tanjšanja puhlice v smeri sever-jug zaradi vlažnejšega holocenskega podnebja. Glede na prisotnost oksidiranih sedimentov, odsotnost šote in drugih jezerskih sedimentov ter majhno vsebnost vode v sedimentih nad matično kamnino, sklepamo, da je Meggyespuszta ena največjih aktivnih vrtač v Transdonavskem hribovju. Ključne besede: paleovrtača, paleokras, Transdonavsko hribovje, Transdonavski tip krasa.1 University of Pannonia, Department of Limnology, veszprém, Egyetem utca 10, veszprém, Egyetem utca The development and the geological activity of the Meggyespuszta paleodoline in Hungary were reconsidered in the light of new findings and review of complex stratigraphic and morphological results. Methods included geomorphological modeling, field geological re-surveys of the data from the existing boreholes and study of the sediments of a newly drilled borehole. Three main phases of the topography evolution were determined: (1) a presumably Early-Middle Neogene primer karstification period, (2) a Late Neogene-Early quaternary partial charging with typical terrestrial red clay and dolomite silt sediments, (3) and the covering of the paleodoline with loess and loess-based soil cover during the quaternary. while the south erosion valley was formed likely during Pliocene-Early Pleistocene period, the young, Holocene gullies were found only in the North and East part of the paleodoline. The rearrangement of rainwater course directions could be the consequence of the thinning of the loess sediment from North to South due to the wetter climatic conditions of the Holocene. Based on the oxidized filling sediments, the lack of peat or other lacustrine deposits and the low water content of the sediments above the bedrock, it was concluded that Meggyespuszta paleodoline is one of the largest still active sinkhole in the Transdanubian Range.
