THE CARPATHIAN RIVER SYSTEM IN ROMANIA – GENESIS AND EVOLUTION by MIHAI IELENICZ, LAURA TÎRLĂ

“…In establishing the formation stages of different generations of Carpathianvalley systems, some general conditions have been taken into consideration (formation of the mountain systemby tectonic movements; the evolution of marginal base levels, significantly influencing the intensity of linearand headward erosion; the orographic structure – a relatively ring-like mountain system built of groups of massifs andtectonic basins; the evolution of morpho-climatic systems). At the same time, some regional conditions (partialor total transversal corridors, erosion levels and terraces along the valleys, piedmont glacis, etc.) have beentaken into account. …”
