Pannonian Plain
The Pannonian Basin, with the term Carpathian Basin being sometimes preferred in Hungarian literature, is a large sedimentary basin situated in southeastern Central Europe. After the Treaty of Trianon following World War I, the geomorphological term Pannonian Plain was also used for roughly the same region, referring to the lowlands in the area occupied by the Pannonian Sea during the Pliocene Epoch, however some consider the term "Pannonian Plain" not only unhistorical but also topologically erroneous. Terminology The term Pannonian Plain refers to the lowland parts of the Pannonian Basin as well as those of some adjoining regions like Lower Austria, Moravia, and Silesia (Czech Republic and Poland). The lands adjoining the plain proper are sometimes also called ''peri-Pannonian''. In English language, the terms "Pannonian Basin" and "Carpathian Basin" may sometimes be used synonymously, although the latter holds an irredentist Hungarian connotation. The name "Pannonian" ...

Danubian Flat
The Danubian Flat (Slovak language, Slovak and Czech language, Czech: ''Podunajská rovina'', German language, German: ''Donauebene''), also translated as Danubian Plain, is the south-western, flatter, part of the Danubian Lowland in Slovakia. The border with the Danubian Hills runs approx. along the line Bratislava – Senec (Slovakia), Senec – Sereď – Nové Zámky – Patince. It has been formed by the arms of the Danube (Little Danube and others) and by the southern Váh, Nitra and Žitava (river), Žitava rivers. It is filled with huge layers of gravel from the Danube and other rivers of the area. These Danubian gravels are covered with loess and other very fertile soils. The Danube forms here a unique continental river delta, delta system of meanders and dead arms. The area between one of those arms called Little Danube and the Danube is known as the Žitný ostrov, the biggest river island in Europe. The Žitný ostrov is an area with marsh depressions, natural lakes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
