Tromeđa (peak)
Trekufiri (also known as ''Tromedja'' or Тромеђа in Montenegrin Cyrillic), is a mountain located in the Albanian Alps and the Bogićevica range. Perched at above sea level, its summit marks the border where Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro intersect. The height of the three-country point varies, with Albanian maps recording the mountain's height as above sea level while official Yugoslavian sources state it as 2,366 m. After the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro in 2006, followed by the establishment of the Republic of Kosovo two years later, a binational administrative three-point border emerged. Geology Trekufiri is situated in the heart of the Albanian Alps and Bogićevica range, where three ridges converge. The mountain ranges to the west on the Albania-Montenegro border are slightly less elevated. The ridge to the southeast, which forms the border between Albania and Kosovo, leads to Bogiçaj . The highest mountain in the region, Gjeravica , is located anothe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Geography Of Kukës County
Geography (from Ancient Greek ; combining 'Earth' and 'write', literally 'Earth writing') is the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth. Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but also how they have changed and come to be. While geography is specific to Earth, many concepts can be applied more broadly to other celestial bodies in the field of planetary science. Geography has been called "a bridge between natural science and social science disciplines." Origins of many of the concepts in geography can be traced to Greek Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who may have coined the term "geographia" (). The first recorded use of the word γεωγραφία was as the title of a book by Greek scholar Claudius Ptolemy (100 – 170 AD). This work created the so-called "Ptolemaic tradition" of geography, which included "Ptolemaic cartographic theory." ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mountains Of Montenegro
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 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 climate, mountains t ...

Mountains Of Albania
Albania is mostly mountainous, with the first alpine regions forming towards the end of the Jurassic, Jurassic period. During the Cenozoic, Cenozoic era, the malformation of the ''Albanides'' accelerated, causing the subterranean landscape to take its present form.

Its highest summits are situated in the Accursed Mountains, Albanian Alps and the eastern mountain range, with Korab (mountain), Korab being the highest peak, at above sea level. The country's geography is unique due to its location and varied relief, with landscapes ranging from Mediterranean Basin, mediterranean in the west to a more Geographical midpoint of Europe, continental influence in the east and mountainous terrain in the interior and east.

Adriatic Sea
The Adriatic Sea () is a body of water separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkans, Balkan Peninsula. The Adriatic is the northernmost arm of the Mediterranean Sea, extending from the Strait of Otranto (where it connects to the Ionian Sea) to the northwest and the Po Valley. The countries with coasts on the Adriatic are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, and Slovenia. The Adriatic contains more than 1,300 islands, mostly located along its eastern coast. It is divided into three basins, the northern being the shallowest and the southern being the deepest, with a maximum depth of . The prevailing currents flow counterclockwise from the Strait of Otranto. Tidal movements in the Adriatic are slight, although acqua alta, larger amplitudes occur occasionally. The Adriatic's salinity is lower than the Mediterranean's because it collects a third of the fresh water flowing into the Mediterranean, acting as a dilution basin. The surface water temperatures ...
