The morphogenetic impact of the bora type wind (19thNovember 2004) on the relief of Danielov dom area (The High Tatras)

The paper presents a study on geomorphic effect of an extremely strong wind which occurred on 19th November 2004 (southern slopes of the Tatra Mountains.). At that time a large amount of soil-waste material was displaced with root systems of windthrows (uprooted trees). Its volume was estimated at 40 000 m3 within the study area (1.6 km2 ). Lithology of soil-waste material was assumed as the most important factor on which the amount of the displaced material (with roots of a windthrow) depends.
