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 physioge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Central Beskids Of The Outer Eastern Carpathians
The Low Beskids () or Central Beskids (; ; ) are a mountain range in southeastern Poland and northeastern Slovakia. They constitute a middle (central) section of the Beskids, within the Outer Eastern Carpathians. Since there are several traditional divisions of the '' Beskid Mountains'' in general, this particular region has also been classified by different designations. In Slovak terminology, the region is called ''Low Beskids'' (). In Polish terminology, the same region is not classified under the term ''Low Beskids'' (), since that term is used to designate only one part of the region, while the Polish equivalent term for the entire region is ''Central Beskids'' (). It is a hilly region, encompassing the Prešov Region, Sanok County and Jasło County, and covering the area between Busov, Ondavská vrchovina, Laborecká vrchovina, Beskydské predhorie in Slovakia, and Beskid Sądecki, Pogórze Bukowskie and Bieszczady near the river Wisłoka, Wisłok and Osława in Poland. ...

Western Carpathians
The Western Carpathians () are a mountain range and geomorphological province that forms the western part of the Carpathian Mountains. The mountain belt stretches from the Low Beskids range of the Eastern Carpathians along the border of Poland with Slovakia toward the Moravian region of the Czech Republic and the Austrian Weinviertel. In the south the North Hungarian Mountains cover northern Hungary. The area of the Western Carpathians comprises about 70,000 km2. The highest elevation is the Gerlachovský štít (2,655m) situated in the High Tatra Mountains. Geographical definition Most of the perimeter of the Western Carpathians is quite sharply defined by valleys. To the northwest and north they are separated from the Bohemian Massif by the Outer Subcarpathia and the Lesser Poland Upland; to the west the Moravian Gate leads over to the Sudetes. To the south the mountain chain falls away towards the Pannonian Plain, a large plain situated between the Alps, the Dinari ...

Outer Subcarpathia
Outer Subcarpathia (; ; ; ) denotes the depression area at the outer (western, northern and eastern) base of the Carpathian arc, including foothills of the Outer Western Carpathians and Outer Eastern Carpathians. It stretches from northeastern Austria, through eastern Czech Republic, southern Poland, western Ukraine and northeastern Romania. The opposite foothill regions on the inner side of the Carpathian arc are known as ''Inner Subcarpathia'', transitioning further to the Pannonian Basin. Geography The western end is marked by the (northern) Vienna Basin, separating it from the Eastern Alpine Foreland. The adjacent hilly landscape of the Lower Austrian Weinviertel region with its extensive loess layers border on the limestone rock formations of the South-Moravian Carpathians. In the Czech Republic, the depression is situated on the outskirts of the White Carpathians in Moravia, including the Pálava Protected Landscape Area. In Poland they stretch along the L ...

Banat Mountains
The Banat Mountains (; ) are a number of mountain ranges in Romania, considered part of the Western Romanian Carpathians (''Carpații Occidentali Românești'') mountain range.
The Banat Mountains consist of:
* The Banat Mountains (''Munții Banatului'') per se, which include:
** the Semenic Mountains (''Munții Semenic'');
** the Locva Mountains (''Munții Locvei'');
** the Anina Mountains (''Munții Aninei'');
** and the Dognecea Mountains (''Munții Dognecei'').
* The Almăj Mountains (''Munții Almăjului'').
* The Timiș-Cerna Gap (''Culoarul Timiș-Cerna''), including the Almăj Depression (''Depresiunea Almăj''), which divide the Banat Mountains from the Southern Carpathians.

Serbian Carpathians
Serbian Carpathians () is a mountain range in eastern Central Serbia, located in Central Europe. It presents an extension of proper Carpathian Mountains across the Danube, connecting them with the Balkan Mountains in the southeast. They stretch in north–south direction in eastern Serbia, east of the Great Morava valley and west of the White Timok Valley and north of the Nišava Valley. The mountains are 800–1500 m high, and dominated by karst limestone geologic features, the highest one being Rtanj Mountain (1,565 m). Definitions Under the strict definition (as defined by the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts and adopted by the Carpathian Convention), Serbian part of the Carpathian Mountains covers only 732 km2, or less than 1% of the total Carpathian area. That part encompasses the southern bank of the Iron Gate and the area of Đerdap National Park. The extreme points of so defined Carpathian area in Serbia are Tekija in the north, in the south, Golubac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Transylvanian Plateau
The Transylvanian Plateau (; ) is a plateau in central Romania. Description The plateau lies within and takes its name from the historical region of Transylvania, and is almost entirely surrounded by the Eastern Carpathians, Eastern, Southern Carpathians, Southern and Apuseni Mountains, Romanian Western branches of the Carpathian Mountains. The area includes the Transylvanian Plain. It is improperly called a plateau, for it does not possess extensive plains, but is formed of a network of valleys of various size, ravines and canyons, united together by numerous small mountain ranges, which attain a height of above the altitude of the valley. The plateau has a continental climate. Temperature varies a great deal in the course of a year, with warm summers contrasted by very cold winters. Vast forests cover parts of the plateau and the mountains. The mean elevation is . Subdivisions The Transylvanian Plateau is divided into three areas: * (''Podișul Someșan'' or ''Podișul Som ...

Polonynian Mountains
Polonynian Beskids or Polonyne Beskids (; ) is a geological group of mountain ranges of the Eastern Beskids, within the Outer Eastern Carpathians. It is one of two parallel mountain ridges of the Eastern Beskids, situated in western parts of modern Ukraine. They are stretching parallel to the Wooded Beskids on the northeast, and Vihorlat-Gutin Area to the southwest. The name of this mountain range is derived from Slavic term '' polonyna'', designating a particular type of montane meadows, characteristic for those parts of the Carpathians. Thus, the very term ''polonyne'' or ''polonynian'' Beskids translates as ''Meadowed Beskids''. In Polish and Ukrainian terminology, this range is most commonly called the "Polonynian Beskids" (; ), while in Slovakia it is also defined in a much wider sense, under the local term ''Poloniny'' (). The territorial scope of all those terms varies in accordance to different classifications and traditions. Subdivisions Polonynian Beskids include ...

Wooded Carpathians
The term Wooded Carpathians (; ; ; ) refers to a group of mountain ranges that constitute the central section of Eastern Carpathians, covering both ''inner'' and ''outer'' regions of that section. Geographical scope of the term varies, since it is often used in broader or narrower sense, according to different classifications and terminological conventions. It is traditionally and most commonly applied to a wider group of mountain ranges that encompasses all mountains within central section of Outer Eastern Carpathians, including Eastern Beskids of the Outer Eastern Carpathians, Eastern Beskids with Polonynian Beskids, and also all mountains within northern section of Inner Eastern Carpathians, including Vihorlat-Gutin Area and Maramureș-Rodna Area. In that sense, Wooded Carpathians are stretching from the southeastern corner of Poland and far eastern corner of Slovakia, through western parts of Ukraine, encompassing all of the Ukrainian Carpathians, and continuing into the north ...
