Abstract:
The Sărățel Stream is located in the most
geodynamic area of the Romanian territory, the
Subcarpathian Curvature. The physical-geographical
characteristics, as well as the social-human impact,
created a specific landscape system, in which the
present morphodynamic processes register
accentuated dynamics. Uplift and erosion, together
with relief are the fundamental components of
geomorpho-dynamic systems of the Sărățel
catchment.
On the other hand, for the geomorphologic
characterization of any geographical space we take
into account the river morphometric parameters,
which can be useful in quantitative morphodynamic
studies. Then, using the Horton-Strahler classification
system, we obtained for each sub-basin the
morphometric model of drainage of the stream
segments of successively increasing orders; the laws
that define them verify well at the scale of the river
sub-basin.
