Palaeogeographical changes in geological environments, represented by extrusions and sedimentation, were assessed among vector models from the Czech Republic (CR) covering Bohemian Massif and Outer Western Carpathians. The vector models contained reconstructions of sedimentation extensions during culminant marine transgressions or regressions since Permian (299 Ma), Jurassic (152 Ma), Cretaceous (93.9 Ma), Eocene (56 Ma), Lower (23 Ma) and Upper Miocene (11.6 Ma) to Upper Pleistocene (18 ka). The assessment was carried out through comparison among changes of the sedimentary environment extension size between sequential layers and with present distribution of the selected stratas. Terrestrial surface during marine regressions extended 70% of the CR. The most spread marine transgression relinquished < 30% of the dry land. The terrestrial surface covered permanently 14.8% of the CR since existence of the Bohemian Massif. Pleistocene was characteristic by terrestrial environment diversification after conclusive sea regression. Permanent land occurrence suggested conditions for long-time ecosystem adaptation to environmental changes in contrast to mobile zones.
