výboji

Výboji is a term that can refer to several concepts, most commonly in the context of geology and cartography. In a geological sense, a výboj refers to a landslide or a mass wasting event. These are natural phenomena where a large mass of rock, soil, or debris moves down a slope due to gravity. Factors contributing to výboji include steep slopes, heavy rainfall, earthquakes, and human activities like deforestation or construction. The scale of výboji can range from small slides to catastrophic debris flows.

In cartography and geographical surveying, the term 'výboj' can sometimes be used in relation to the process of surveying or mapping an area, particularly when dealing with the deposition or accumulation of material. However, its primary and most widespread meaning relates to geological mass movements. Understanding výboji is crucial for hazard assessment and land-use planning in mountainous or geologically unstable regions. The study of these events involves analyzing their causes, predicting their occurrences, and mitigating their impact on human settlements and infrastructure.
