Abstract
Problems of historical geomorphology in Rumania. The Peneplanation of the Western and Southern Carpathians. (Abstract.). — On the basis of paleogeographical, tectonic and climatic conditions, the author reaches the conclusion ihat, with regard to morphological sculpture, the western and southern Carpathians in Rumania hâve undergone many phases of development. Phase of Peneplanation. — During which, in sub-equatorial climatic conditions, by fluvo-planation, pediplanation and abrasion, the Carpathian Peneplain was formed or rather the upper sculpural complex (the Borescu platform, Semenic or Farcasa according to De Martonne). The Phase of Vertical Dislocation. — During which the Carpathian Peneplain reached its various altitudes at the beginning of the Neocene. The Phase of Block Mountain Development. — When, by abrasion and the littoral tectonic, the lower sculptural complex was formed. (The Gornovi\a, Teregova or Fenes platform, in De Martonne. The Connecting plane between the two sculptural complexes is represented by an inclined surface of the pediment Riul Ses type.
