The erosion-denudation processes and changing tectonic regime with reorientation of the main tension axes from NW¨CSE to NE¨CSW are considered to be as the main factors of the proposed evolution model of the Cerov¨˘ vrchovina elevation. A significant role during the evolution played erosion-resistant basalt sheets and lava flows which prevented erosion of soft Cenozoic sediments. Areas without the volcanic cover have been eroded into the deeper stratigraphic levels as evidenced by the inverse relief. %K Western Carpathians %K Cerov¨˘ vrchovina Mts. %K morphostructure %K erosion %K volcanics %K Pliocene %K Pleistocene %U http://www.geopaleo.fns.uniba.sk/ageos/archive/2011_02/hok_et_al_2011.pdf
