Soft rock pediments developed in South Moravia in some places as early as the Tertiary, in other places as late as the Pleistocene. Depending on local environmental factors the pediments developed either due to backwearing or downwearing. The most suitable conditions for the evolution of the Pleistocene pediments were during transitional periods between warm and cold climate phases and especially during periglacial conditions between cold and warm periods in the Middle and Late Pleistocene. In agricultural landscapes, the studied relief features continue to develop also at present.
