Present day relief-shaping systems acting on the southern slope of the FÄgÄraş Mountains (Romania)

NEDELEA, ALEXANDRU | COMANESCU, LAURA
The present topography of the FÄgÄraş Mountains is a snapshot of the long-term evolution that brought about significant alterations of the landscape, and especially of the relief, which has acquired different features depending on the intensity of the relationship between the exogenous and endogenous agents. At present, relief shaping in the study area is controlled by the orographic and climatic features. However, the climate of the high and middle-height mountains is the main cause that determines the mechanism, the intensity and the spatial distribution of the shaping processes. The considerable height of the FÄgÄraş Mountains, which exceeds 2500Â m altitude is responsible for the vertical zonation of climate and vegetation which implicitly induce the setting of the systems of relief modelling, too.
