Sažetak
Quantification of recent neotectonic activity using morphometric analysis of digital elevation models represents one of the most prosperous tools in modern tectonic geomorphology. With extrapolation of morphometric parameters of hypsometric curve, longitudinal river profiles and trunk channel steepness obtained by morphometric analysis of digital elevation model (DEM) of Mt. Medvednica we were able to discriminate possible tectonically active drainage areas. Basically, active areas/drainage areas are Dedina, Poljanica and Trnava. Furthermore there is necessity to conduct another set of morphometric methods as well as field observations in order to verify or disallow results as in Medvednica mountain area first obstacle in conducting DEM based morphometric analysis is great lithological heterogeneity.
