Tectonic Setting of the Poszukiwaczy Skarbów Cave and the Groby Cave (Kraków Gorge, Western Tatra Mts., Poland)

[摘要] The study area is located in the Tatra Mts., the part of Western Carpathians. In the Poszukiwaczy Skarbów Cave and the Groby Cave a tectonics structures has been documented. The structural analysis were made. In both caves the following joints set have been identified from 4 maximum of statistic analysis: 157/85 (max.I), 143/63 (max.II), 58/63 (max.III), 304/70 (max.IV). Nevertheless joint set participation of individual caves development have been diverse. In the development of the Poszukiwaczy Skarbów Cave, the most important joint set were latitudinal which is conjugate with fractures of III. maximum. This crossing of joints sets contribute to development of the main chamber. Maximum III has been very important in the evolution of passages of the Groby Cave. Conjugated with joint of max. IV determined the conduit direction. Entrance chamber formed in this place because the overthrust disintegrated a rocks there.
