Căliman-Harghita Mountains
The Căliman-Harghita Mountains (in Romanian, ''Munții Căliman-Harghita'') are a group of mountain ranges in Romania. These ranges are considered part of the Inner Eastern Carpathians. Within Romania, however, it is traditional to divide the Eastern Romanian Carpathians (''Carpații Orientali'') into three geographical groups (north, center, south), instead in Outer and Inner Eastern Carpathians. The Romanian categorization includes all of the Căliman-Harghita Mountains within the central Eastern Carpathians of Moldavia and Transylvania (''Munţii Carpați Moldo-Transilvani''). The Moldavian-Transylvanian Carpathians include: * Bârgău Mountains (''Munții Bârgăului'') * Călimani Mountains (''Munții Călimani''), also known as the Kelemen Alps * Ciuc Mountains (''Munții Ciucului'') * Gurghiu Mountains (''Munții Gurghiului''), also known as the Görgeny Alps * Harghita Mountains (''Munții Harghita''), the "largest volcanic body in the whole of Europe" Geology of the ...

Inner Eastern Carpathians
Divisions of the Carpathians are a categorization of the Carpathian mountains system. Below is a detailed overview of the major subdivisions and ranges of the Carpathian Mountains. The Carpathians are a "subsystem" of a bigger Alps-Himalaya System that stretches from western Europe all the way to southern Asia, and are further divided into "provinces" and "subprovinces". The last level of the division, i.e. the actual mountain ranges and basins, is usually classified as "units". The main divisions are shown in the map on the right. To generalize, there are three major provinces (regions): Western Carpathians, Eastern Carpathians, and the Southern Carpathians. Naming conventions The division is largely (with many exceptions) undisputed at the lowest level (except for the Ukrainian part), but various divisions are given for the higher levels, especially for the penultimate level. A geomorphological division has been used as much as the data was available; other new physiogeog ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mountain Ranges Of Romania
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least 300 metres (1,000 feet) above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and ...
