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

“…The present Carpathian valley network is the result of a long and complex process synchronous to the evolutionof the Carpathian orographic system during the Cretaceous – Quaternary period. Among other issues, this studyfocuses on the genesis of the great defiles shaped by the rivers that cut across (partially or totally) the mountains (theDanube, Olt, Jiu, Prahova, Crişul Repede, Bistriţa, Trotuş, Buzău, Mureş, Someş, etc.), also explaining lowerordervalleys, of limited length (the Bistricioara, Ilva, Tazlău, Teleajen, Cuejd, Strei, etc.). …”
