Abstract

Several stages of denudation processes have been traced in the Carpathian region. The first is associated with the so-called pre-Polyanytsya erosion, which took place after the inversion of the flysch sedimentation basin during the transition to the formation of molasses. In the Boryslav-Pokutskyi nappe, denudation had lasted for approximately 800 thousand years. The next stage of denudation occurred during thrust processes and after their completion and continues to this day. Over the millions of years, several kilometers of Carpathian rock deposits have been denuded.
