The general relations described above are less dis
tinct in some parts of the area possibly resulting
from the worse and not sufficient teotonic and geolo
gical recognition. The precision of such a recogni
tion is therefore incomparable with that of the re
mote sensing images /as for lineaments at least/ but
the coincidence might increase with the better teo-
tonio recognition of the Cretaceous bedrock.
6 CONCLUSIONS
It results from the disscusion presented above, that;
1 -Lineaments observed in the satellite images of 2u-
lawy Wig lane might be understood with a great possi
bility as the surface traces of buried tectonic line
ar disjunctions developed in the brittle series of
the Upper Cretaceous calcareous rooks and projected
as faults through the soft and loose Cainozoio sedi
ments onto the recent surface. Such the projection
seems to be evidenced by the high regularity of the
lineaments observed what would be difficult to ex
plain when rejecting their tectonio origin. The geo
logical conditions in not intensively disturbed plat
form sediments imply the regular pattern of disjunc
tive structures, its preservation and projection.
2 -Lineaments should be referred to the disjunctive
structures olosest to the recent surface, namely tho®
se of the Cretaoeous series. The fraotures in the
calcareous series oausing the block structure easily
underwent the reactivation what is suggested by the
detailed pattern of projection of inner structures
onto the surfaoe.
3 -The activation of teotonic blocks of the Cretaoe
ous series occurred not only in the Holocene /what is
evidenced by the present visibility of the lineaments
on the delta sediments surface/ but could have taken
place even earlier, controlling the erosional and
depositional processes in the periods younger than
Cretaoeous, especially in the Pleistooene. During the
time of glaciations the fractured Upper Cretaceous
slab lying on unstable basement consisted of sands,
clays and siltstones of Cenomanian was influenced due
to glaciations by the ohanging load of overburden.
4 -The activity of the certain blocks affeoted also
the sedimentation and/or the selective erosion of the
rocks older than calcareous Cretaceous series what
might be suggested by an extent the sandy member of
Cenomanian. These sands occur in the block lying in
the west from the line Tczew-Nowy Staw-Nowy Dw6r Gd.
Their extent remains in agreement with the run of two
sets of lineaments, namely that parallel to the line
Tczew-Nowy Staw-Elbl«\g, and that orossing them of
submeridional /Nowy Staw-Nowy Dw6r Gd./ orientation.
The lineament pattern observed in the area of Zulawy
Wiilane might be therefore characteristic not only
for Cretaceous but also for the whole Jurassic-Creta
ceous series.
5 -The hitherto presented facts prove the hypothesis
concerning the significance of the lineament as a re
flection of the fractures and dislocations ocouring
in the brittle rocks of the Upper Mesozoio. Since
there exists simultaneously a high probability of an
influence of these structures on sedimentation and
erosional processes in the different periods of Caino-
zoic, the geological data there should be re-interpre
ted with regard to the lineament pattern. The linea
ments themselves should be treated as the traces of
possible disloca tion zones as well as of mobility of
the basement. They shoul be taken into account when
interpreting the geological cross-sections and con
structing the geologioal maps. The authors propose to
oonsider the lineaments pattern as an indicator of lo
calization, orientation and continuity of the geolo
gioal phenomena under prospeotion and recognition.
The presented above hypothesis on the possible role
and significance of the lineaments in the area of ¿u-
lawy Wiilane should be practically verified as appear
there newer geologioal data from the boreholes and
other geological works /e.g. geophysical ones/.
Authors believe that the information from this area
may be used in the areas of a comparable geological
s true ture.
