Geomorphological Conditions of the Genesis of the Ponor Jovac Cave (Croatia)
Boč, Ić, Neven, Bać, Urin Ž, Eljko
Abstract:
The middle part of the Slunj karst plateau is built of permeable karstified upper Cretaceous limestone. The Miocene sandstones and marls lie over them in transgressive contact in the form of denudation remains. This area is impermeable and has characteristics of fluviodenudational relief. In a morphological sense, the blind valley of \edinovac periodical stream is remarkable. The \edinovac stream sinks underground in the contact zone of the Miocene and Cretaceous rocks and continues its flow through the main channel of the Ponor Jovac cave. The Ponor Jovac cave is 689 m long and has the function of a permanent percolating and periodical sinkhole cave. The area built of limestone is well karstified and without a surface fluvial network. But in continuation of the \edinovac stream blind valley a dry valley exists which is a morphological trace of the former surface flow of the \edinovac stream
