Plate 15.2
(a) Exhumed sub-Cambrian peneplain 4 km west of Cambrian cover in south-east Sweden. A glaciofluvial
deposit has been removed. Glacial striations are seen on the rock surface. The flat rock surface is often exposed or covered
by a mainly thin layer of Quaternary deposits over large areas. (b) A regional view over the exhumed sub-Cambrian
peneplain in south-east Sweden. The peneplain is seen towards the east from Aboda klint, and continues 30 km west of
the border with the Cambrian cover. The peneplain is here 100 m above sea level and descends to the coast, where it
disappears under Cambrian cover. The island of Jungfrun, 50 km away, can be seen from here. It is a residual hill on
the sub-Cambrian peneplain that protrudes through the Cambrian cover on the sea bottom in Kalmarsund. (c) Exhumed
sub-Cretaceous granite hill, Ivöklack, in north-east Scania, southern Sweden. The hill rises about 130 m above the lake
level. (d) Exhumed sub-Cretaceous hilly relief along the west coast in Halland, south-west Sweden.
