Curvature Carpathians
The Sub Carpathians of Curvature, ''CiucaÈ™'', or Curvature Carpathians ( ro, CarpaÈ›ii de Curbură, hu, Kárpátkanyar), are located between the TrotuÈ™ and Slănic (Buzău), Slănic rivers in Romania. They are a range of high hills (800–900 m), with knolls and parallel ridges (''Măgura OdobeÈ™ti''), which separate two geological depressions. The Sub Carpathians are one of the three traditional classifications of the Eastern Carpathians in Romania: * In the north, the Carpathians of MaramureÈ™ and Bucovina (''MunÈ›ii CarpaÅ£i ai MaramureÈ™ului È™i Bucovinei''). * In the center, the Carpathians of Moldavia and Transylvania (''MunÈ›ii CarpaÈ›i Moldo-Transilvani''). * In the south, the Curvature Carpathians (''MunÈ›ii CarpaÈ›i de Curbură'').

Divisions Of The 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]   |
