TY - JOUR N2 - The analyzed ridges posses a varying morphology and dimensions. They are composed of rocky blocks of local origin only. The blocks are chaoticly arranged although a position transversal to a morphologic axis of the ridge predominates. The ridges occur mainly in places where distinct structural loosenings of the mountain massifs are noted, at the foot of fresh slopes. They define the periods when rockfalls were most intensive. The authors found the subslope ridges to be the nival moraines.
