Summary/Abstract: The present-day modelling of relief in this passagewayis governed by several passive factors (largely sedimentary geological substrate,particularities of landform and of natural vegetation), active factors, climate features(precipitation, temperature, etc.) and land use (arable land, pasture land, hay-fields, etc.).The association of all these elements represents the morphogenetic potential of the area.Present-day modelling, which occurs on either slope of the Mure? Corridor, is shaped by ahuge variety of current geomorphological processes induced by precipitation (rain-relateddenudation and sheet erosion, gullying and torrent), gravitation (traction transport, downsagging,landsliding - deep-seated and superficial; rock falls), erosion and alluviation.
