 | | Geological formations of the Romanian territory may be divided (Sandulescu, M. 1984) in two major geotectonic units : prealpine platforms (Moldavian Platform and Moesian Platform) and Alpine orogens (Northern Dobrogea, Carpathian Chain, Transylvanian Basin and Pannonian Basin). |
 | | Lower values of the pH of stream waters are found in mountainous areas (South Carpathians, East Carpathians and northern part of the Apuseni Mountains), whereas the highest values are recorded in the eastern and southern parts of Romania, in the Moldavian Plateau and the Romanian Plain (pH values vary from 7.0 to 9.3). |
 | | The territory of Romania is geologically very complex, with rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Recent, showing numerous overthrust structures of various ages. |
