The paleic surface or palaeic surface (Norwegian: paleiske overflaten, from Ancient Greek palaios 'old') is an erosion surface of gentle slopes that exist in South Norway. Parts of it are a continuation of the Sub-Cambrian peneplain and Muddus Plains found further east or equivalent to the strandflat coastal plains of Norway. Hardangervidda, a particularly flat and elevated part of the Paleic surface formed in the Miocene at sea level.

dbo:abstract
  • The paleic surface or palaeic surface (Norwegian: paleiske overflaten, from Ancient Greek palaios 'old') is an erosion surface of gentle slopes that exist in South Norway. Parts of it are a continuation of the Sub-Cambrian peneplain and Muddus Plains found further east or equivalent to the strandflat coastal plains of Norway. Hardangervidda, a particularly flat and elevated part of the Paleic surface formed in the Miocene at sea level. Although the tilted plateau-like topography of south Norway had been noted since the early 1800s, the first formal description was by Hans Reusch in 1901, using a denudation chronology approach invoking several of W.M. Davis’ ideas of a cycle of erosion. Reusch also coined the name Paleic surface. The Paleic surface is sometimes erroneously considered equal to Norway's "pre-glacial surface" – the surface that existed in Norway just before the Quaternary glaciations. (en)
  • Den paleiska ytan (från grekiskans palaios som betyder gammal) är ett samlingsnamn på slätterna och det svagt kuperade landskap som återfinns främst i södra Norges inland. Denna yta kan ställas i kontrast till det djupt inskurna dal- och fjordlandskap som finns i andra delar av Norge. Den paleiska ytan uppstod huvudsakligen före de kvartära istiderna. Delar av paleiska ytan motsvaras av subkambriska peneplanet och Muddusslätterna i Norrland. (sv)
