Curvature Carpathians
The Sub Carpathians of Curvature, ''Ciucaș'', or Curvature Carpathians ( ro, Carpații de Curbură, hu, Kárpátkanyar), are located between the Trotuș and Slănic rivers in Romania. They are a range of high hills (800–900 m), with knolls and parallel ridges (''Măgura Odobești''), which separate two geological depressions. The Sub Carpathians are one of the three traditional classifications of the Eastern Carpathians in Romania: * In the north, the Carpathians of Maramureș and Bucovina (''Munții Carpaţi ai Maramureșului și Bucovinei''). * In the center, the Carpathians of Moldavia and Transylvania (''Munții Carpați Moldo-Transilvani''). * In the south, the Curvature Carpathians (''Munții Carpați de Curbură'').

Divisions Of The Carpathians
Divisions of the Carpathians are a categorization of the Carpathian mountains system. Below is a detailed overview of the major subdivisions and ranges of the Carpathian Mountains. The Carpathians are a "subsystem" of a bigger Alps-Himalaya System that stretches from western Europe all the way to southern Asia, and are further divided into "provinces" and "subprovinces". The last level of the division, i.e. the actual mountain ranges and basins, is usually classified as "units". The main divisions are shown in the map on the right. To generalize, there are three major provinces (regions): Western Carpathians, Eastern Carpathians, and the Southern Carpathians. Naming conventions The division is largely (with many exceptions) undisputed at the lowest level (except for the Ukrainian part), but various divisions are given for the higher levels, especially for the penultimate level. A geomorphological division has been used as much as the data was available; other new physiogeo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Prahova Valley
Prahova Valley (Romanian: ''Valea Prahovei'') is the valley where the Prahova river makes its way between the Bucegi and the Baiu Mountains, in the Carpathian Mountains, Romania. It is a tourist region, situated about north of the capital city of Bucharest. World War I During World War I, the area was the site of heavy fighting between Austro-Hungarian and German forces on one side and Romanian forces on the other. The strategic objective of the Central Powers was to reach Bucharest via the shortest route, but they were prevented from doing so by determined Romanian resistance. Geography Geographically, the Prahova river separates the Eastern Carpathians chain from the Southern Carpathians. Historically, the corridor was the most important passageway between the principalities of Wallachia and Transylvania. The DN1 road links Bucharest with the city of Brașov; the planned A3 freeway is currently being built along the Prahova Valley. After failing to take part in the ho ...
