The Gorce Mts., situated in the medial segment of the Polish Outer West Carpathians, comprise two submeridional and one subparallel neotectonic elevations. Morphological features of the highest mountain ranges show properties of advanced maturity, whereas the radial pattern of deeply-cut V-shaped valleys of high and strongly diversified gradients, as well as convex and convex-concave slope profiles, together with the presence of overhanging valleys testify to young uplift. Drainage basins of the 4th order show basin elongation ratios typical for intensely uplifted regions, similarly as the stream length-gradient indices (SL), whilst the thickness of the belt of no erosion is moderate and does not exceed 80 m.
