Geocache Description:


This mountain is located in the village of Predjama, approximately 11 kilometres from the town of Postojna and 9 kilometres from Postojna Cave.

What is the Karst?
The karst is a geomorphological structure resulting from the hydrochemical and hydraulic erosion of all soluble rocks, mainly carbonate rocks, mainly limestones. Karstic structures are also found in evaporite chlorides. Karstic processes, known as "pseudokartic" processes, may also develop in some rocks other than carbonate rocks or evaporite chlorides.
In addition, morphologies analogous to those resulting from karstic or pseudokartic processes are found in certain glacial zones: inlands, glaciers The glacial structures or the corresponding geomorphologies are thus called glaciokarsts, cryokarsts or thermokarsts.
The karsts mostly present a tormented landscape, a hydrographic network mainly underground (like rivers) and a subsoil excavated numerous cavities: ruiniform reliefs, losses and resurgences of streams, caves and chasms.

Rocks affected by karst phenomena:
- Limestone
- Chalks
- Marl
- Marbles

Rocks affected by pseudokarst phenomena:
- Sandstone
- Gneiss
- Gabbros

Other sedimentary rocks:
- Sand
- Clay

The Earthcache

At Ground Zero you can observe the Predjama Mountain and the entrance of the cave.

To log this earthcache send us the answers of the following questions by email:

1. Describes by your words what is karst.

2. Do you see any kind of krast on this mountain? Explains.

3. From this location, what is the format of the cave entrance?

4. Optional Task - Take a photo with the GPS showing the location or surrounding landscape.

According to the January 2013 guidelines: After sending the answers by email you can log it, if there is any problem we will contact you. If you do not send us the answers, your log will be deleted.

Ta planina se nahaja v vasi Predjama, priblizno 11 kilometrov od mesta Postojna in 9 kilometrov od Postojnske jame.

Kaj je Kras?

Kraška je geomorfološka struktura, ki izhaja iz hidrokemične in hidravlične erozije vseh topnih kamnin, predvsem karbonatnih kamnin, predvsem apnencev. Kraške strukture najdemo tudi v evaporitnih kloridih. Kraški procesi, znani kot "pseudokartični" procesi, se lahko razvijejo tudi v nekaterih skalnih kamninah, razen karbonatnih kamnin ali evaporitnih kloridov.
Poleg tega so v določenih ledeniških predelih podobne morfologije, podobne tistim, ki so posledica kraških ali psevdokartičnih procesov: otoki, ledeniki. Ledijske strukture ali ustrezne geomorfologije se tako imenujejo glaciokarsts, kriokarstov ali termokarstov.
Kraški večinoma predstavljajo mučeno pokrajino, hidrografsko mrezo, ki je večinoma pod zemljo (kot rekah), in podzemlje izkopavajo številne votline: ruševine, izgube in ponovitve potokov, jam in jame.

Roke na kraške pojave:
- Apnenec
- Stojnice
- Marl
- Marbles

Roke, ki so jih prizadeli pseudokarstni pojavi:
- Peščenjak
- Gneiss
- Gabbros

Druge sedimentne kamnine:
- Pesek
- Glina

Earthcache

V pritličju lahko opazujete Predjamsko goro in vhod v jamo.
Če se zelite prijaviti na to zemeljsko pot, nam pošljite odgovore na naslednja vprašanja po elektronski pošti:
1. Po vaših besedah opisuje, kaj je kraški.
2. Ali vidite kakšno krast na tej gori? Pojasnjuje.
3. Na tej lokaciji, kakšna je oblika vhoda v jamo?
4. Izbirna naloga - Fotografirajte z GPS, ki prikazuje lokacijo ali okoliško pokrajino.
Glede na smernice iz januarja 2013: po pošiljanju odgovorov po elektronski pošti se lahko prijavite, če je kakšna tezava, vas bomo stopili v stik. Če nam ne pošljete odgovorov, bo vaš dnevnik izbrisan.
