What is Dependence of Gully Networks on Faults and Lineaments Networks, Case Study from Hronska Pahorkatina Hill Land about?

In this paper we analyse the dependence between gully networks, networks of valleys and faults in the area of Hronska pahorkatina Hill Land. The work is based on the analysis of directions and densities of these three networks in the study area and subunits of lower hierarchical level. The coincidence of all three networks is rare. This scenario occurs when networks of gullies are situated on the bottom of shallow valleys which are conditioned by the presence of faults. More often scenario is only the coincidence of network of valleys and gullies. The last scenario appears in areas with low fault density. The most specific scenario is perpendicularity between network of gullies and network of gullies. Gullies are situated on steep slopes of incised valleys in this case. The last scenario appears the most frequently and was also proven by findings from other studies. We propose three comprehensive explanations of the possible dependence between network of gullies and faults. We also suggest the draft of the possible dependence between network of valleys and gullies.
