Corelations between the landslides and the morphological and functional units of slopes
in the Transylvanian BasinGh. ROȘIAN, Cs. HORVATH
ABSTRACT. – Correlation between the landslides and the morphological and functional units of slopes in the Transylvanian Basin. The presence of fluvial morphology in the Transylvanian Basin, in form of an alternation of water divides and valley corridors, indicates favourable conditions for the genesis of geomorphologic processes. Under this aspect two sections stand out within this type of processes: river beds and slopes. In this paper, the emphasis is on the processes, developed on slopes. Water erosion and mass movement processes can be observed on their surface. From all mass movement processes, the emphasis will be put on the landslides. They will be observed in correlation with the morphologic and functional units of the slopes from different regional units of Transylvanian Basin. Eight case studies were taken into consideration regarding this aspect. Thus, we noticed that landslides particularly develop in the median part of the slopes which is corresponding to the maximum processual dynamic and transfer unit.
Keywords: landslides, geomorphological processes, morphological unit, slope
