some considerations on climatic geomorphology of the romanian territory

the main issues about relation between climate and relief in the romanian geomorphological literature follow three directions of research: the description of pleistocene glacial and pleistocene-holocene periglacial landforms in the carpathians; the direct analysis of climate?s role in landform development; the integration of separate works and findings in a synthetic morphodynamic system applicable to all of the country? territory. the analysis of the present-day geomorphic landscape reveals two important generations of morphoclimatic landforms (old climatic landforms and the recent climatic relief-forms). in romania we can identify three distinct morphoclimatic regions: the central-western region, the eastern and south-eastern region and the south-western region.
