THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DIMENSION OF THE CLIMATIC FACTOR
IN THE DYNAMIC OF MORPHOGENETIC PROCESSES
N. JOSAN
Abstract: All
geomorphological processes are part of an own spatial and temporal scale which
is closely related to other processes and phenomenon of nature. Such processes
are the geomorphologic processes which occurred million years ago or belongs to
the recent history of the earth, affecting large geographic areas or has a local
impact. Also a relief form must be analysed through the report among the factors
which generated the form in a certain temporal sequention. Seen through the lens
of their dynamic, the geomorphological processes were and still are conditioned
by two main factors: the tectonic and the climate. The aim of this paper is to
show the spatial and temporal dimension of the climate, with examples from
western Romania.
