Within the hills and plateaus there are important subsoil resources to which are connected many industrial branches, some with an essential role in the national economy (natural gas, oil, lignite, etc.), a varied agriculture is practiced, a series of early developed economic activities that have determined not only the skilled labor force, but also certain specializations, there is a rich fund of tourist reserves that ensure, but especially will determine the assertion of a prosperous economy with this specific.
Here are some of the attributes that formed the basis of an intense geographical research activity materialized in a very large number of articles, studies, monographs, books, etc. If in the interwar period some orientations were made, especially in the research of relief and settlements, later the study of different units taken as the object of a doctoral thesis made possible not only the increase of the number of works, but especially the diversification of problems and fields of study. . The teams of geographic researchers and teachers from the universities of Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj Napoca and from the Geographical Institute had a special role. Within them, apart from the doctoral theses, complex geographical studies with regional character, detailed works on some geographical components, cartographic representations materialized in atlases, etc. were carried out.
As a result, at present, there is a rich and diverse informational fund that has been the basis for writing geographical syntheses and at the level of large units of hills and plateaus. They contain a wealth of information and issues regarding all components of the geographic system. Here is one of the reasons that makes writing such a course quite difficult. But its realization is necessary for other reasons. These must first represent a summum of problems that define the geographical structure of each unit, in which to be found, in addition to the basic features and correlations that are established between components and elements. Secondly, the most important opinions that have been imposed on certain issues, as well as the controversial or unexplained ideas, must be revealed here. Finally, their rendering must be done taking into account those to whom they are addressed.
So, the course must represent both a "training" basis, a qualification, but also an opening one for geographical research. In this sense, this work was sought to be done, which is addressed mainly to geography students, but also to teachers and all those interested in knowing the geographical realities of Romania. It was conceived in two volumes (Plateau and hills - volume 3; Subcarpathians - volume 4) because, on the one hand, the informational volume is particularly rich and on the other, due to the fact that between the Subcarpathians and the other units of hills and plateaus there are important differences in composition, structure, genesis, evolution, interference between natural factors and anthropogenic pressure, which are reflected directly in specific landscapes. At the base was an older work that was updated and supplemented with new ideas.

The regions of hills and plateaus constitute the largest geographical stage on the Romanian territory. By position, they surround the Carpathians while making the transition to the plain units. This situation imposes a fundamental characteristic of them, that of area of ​​natural and socio-economic interference through which the unity and complexity of the Romanian geographical space is ensured.
Their analysis, even general, reveals other aspects that define their personality and place in the structure of the geographical system. Some of them are very old units, which have undergone a much more complex evolution than the Carpathians, which gave materials to newer, neighboring sea basins, but which in turn suffered the influences of tectonic processes that took place within them. Their evolution determined a complex structure with a Paleozoic Precambrian foundation and a thick sedimentary mass resulting from several accumulation cycles. What appears on the surface frequently are Neozoic rocks, but with the predominance of the Pliocene - Quaternary, formations contained in various geological structures, hence a certain relief reflection. If the evolution is lasting, the relief we observe is much more recent. With some exceptions, in most cases it belongs to the Upper Pliocene and Cuternary. In most situations, its realization was closely related to the evolution of the Carpathian chain that was integrating and rising at the same time. They suffered slight rises as a reflection of those in the Carpathians, on them and extended the courses the Carpathian water streams that cut valleys or accumulated foothills, here some formations suffered undulations or even wrinkles imposed by the tectonic processes in the Carpathians. These units take place close to sea level and up to over 1000 m from where the variety of hypsometric conditions, depending on which water erosion has sectioned wide or narrow valley color, sculpted depressions, highlighted petrographic and structural contacts, created rounded, sharp, symmetrical or asymmetrical peaks, imposed a great variety of versatility in shape and inclination. The almost 1000 m of vertical development, but also the position of these units in relation to the Carpathians determined multiple climatic conditions reflected both in the layered arrangement of biopedoclimatic elements and in their local variations, situations that defined a multitude of natural landscapes.
The hills and plateaus of Romania, through the extremely favorable natural conditions for life, constituted and represent the area with the widest development of human settlements, with the largest number of inhabitants. Their position between the Carpathians and the plain, the fact that they are crossed by the color of wide valleys that connect the three units have ensured the complexity of the economic relations between their inhabitants.
Within the hills and plateaus there are important subsoil resources to which are connected many industrial branches, some with an essential role in the national economy (natural gas, oil, lignite, etc.), a varied agriculture is practiced, a series of early developed economic activities that have determined not only the skilled labor force, but also certain specializations, there is a rich fund of tourist reserves that ensure, but especially will determine the assertion of a prosperous economy with this specific.
Here are some of the attributes that formed the basis of an intense geographical research activity materialized in a very large number of articles, studies, monographs, books, etc. If in the interwar period some orientations were made, especially in the research of relief and settlements, later the study of different units taken as the object of a doctoral thesis made possible not only the increase of the number of works, but especially the diversification of problems and fields of study. . The teams of geographic researchers and teachers from the universities of Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj Napoca and from the Geographical Institute had a special role. Within them, apart from the doctoral theses, complex geographical studies with regional character, detailed works on some geographical components, cartographic representations materialized in atlases, etc. were carried out.
As a result, at present, there is a rich and diverse informational fund that has been the basis for writing geographical syntheses and at the level of large units of hills and plateaus. They contain a wealth of information and issues regarding all components of the geographic system. Here is one of the reasons that makes writing such a course quite difficult. But its realization is necessary for other reasons. These must first represent a summum of problems that define the geographical structure of each unit, in which to be found, in addition to the basic features and correlations that are established between components and elements. Secondly, here we must reveal the most important opinions that have been imposed in certain problems, as well as controversial or unexplained ideas. Finally, their rendering must be done taking into account those to whom they are addressed.
So, the course must represent both a "training" basis, a qualification, but also an opening one for geographical research. In this sense, this work was sought to be done, which is addressed mainly to geography students, but also to teachers and all those interested in knowing the geographical realities of Romania. It was conceived in two volumes (Plateau and hills - volume 3; Subcarpathians - volume 4) because, on the one hand, the informational volume is particularly rich and on the other, due to the fact that between the Subcarpathians and the other units of hills and plateaus there are important differences in composition, structure, genesis, evolution, interference between natural factors and anthropogenic pressure, which are reflected directly in specific landscapes. At the base was an older work that was updated and supplemented with new ideas.

Within the hills and plateaus there are important subsoil resources to which are connected many industrial branches, some with an essential role in the national economy (natural gas, oil, lignite, etc.), a varied agriculture is practiced, a series of early developed economic activities that have determined not only the skilled labor force, but also certain specializations, there is a rich fund of tourist reserves that ensure, but especially will determine the assertion of a prosperous economy with this specific.
Here are some of the attributes that formed the basis of an intense geographical research activity materialized in a very large number of articles, studies, monographs, books, etc. If in the interwar period some orientations were made, especially in the research of relief and settlements, later the study of different units taken as the object of a doctoral thesis made possible not only the increase of the number of works, but especially the diversification of problems and fields of study. . The teams of geographic researchers and teachers from the universities of Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj Napoca and from the Geographical Institute had a special role. Within them, apart from the doctoral theses, complex geographical studies with regional character, detailed works on some geographical components, cartographic representations materialized in atlases, etc. were carried out.
As a result, at present, there is a rich and diverse informational fund that has been the basis for writing geographical syntheses and at the level of large units of hills and plateaus. They contain a wealth of information and issues regarding all components of the geographic system. Here is one of the reasons that makes writing such a course quite difficult. But its realization is necessary for other reasons. These must first represent a summum of problems that define the geographical structure of each unit, in which to be found, in addition to the basic features and correlations that are established between components and elements. Secondly, here we must reveal the most important opinions that have been imposed in certain problems, as well as controversial or unexplained ideas. Finally, their rendering must be done taking into account those to whom they are addressed.
So, the course must represent both a "training" basis, a qualification, but also an opening one for geographical research. In this sense, this work was sought to be done, which is addressed mainly to geography students, but also to teachers and all those interested in knowing the geographical realities of Romania. It was conceived in two volumes (Plateau and hills - volume 3; Subcarpathians - volume 4) because, on the one hand, the informational volume is particularly rich and on the other, due to the fact that between the Subcarpathians and the other units of hills and plateaus there are important differences in composition, structure, genesis, evolution, interference between natural factors and anthropogenic pressure, which are reflected directly in specific landscapes. At the base was an older work that was updated and supplemented with new ideas.
