RELIEF UNITS AND PREVALENT SOILS IN DÂMBOVIŢA COUNTY
Journal Title: The Annals of Valahia University of Târgoviste, Geographical Series - Year 2008, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Dâmboviţa County is characterized by a very varied relief, which includes three big different units: the mountain unit, the hill unit and the plain unit. The mountain unit (9%) is represented by Bucegi Mountains and Leaota Mountains. The hill unit, which is much more extended (30%), includes The Ialomiţei Sub-Carpathians and Cândeşti Piedmont. The Ialomiţei Sub-Carpathians represent a hilly subunit, which was formed at the end of the alpine orogenesis, by the folding of the sedimentary deposits accumulated in the Carpathian deep syncline; Cândeşti Piedmont represent a tableland subunit, with a monocline structure, whose genesis has begun much earlier before The Sub-Carpathians. The plain unit, which is the most extended (61%), includes piedmont plains (such as Târgoviştei Plain, Cricovului Plain, Ploieştilor Plain, Piteştilor Plain, Găvanu-Burdea Plain), flaggy plains (Vlăsiei Plain) and subsidence plains (Titu Plain and Ibrianu Plain).
