have parallel ridges, oriented NW-SE direction (north and center) or "curved" (in the south)

consist of three parallel stripes reflect geological structure of the substrate:

a) in the west there is a line of volcanic mountains

b) in center, mountains made of hard rocks (predominantly crystalline schists)

c) in the east and south, mountains made of folded sedimentary rocks (called "flysch" = specific geological formation, composed of folded sedimentary layers)

are fragmented by numerous depressions (some very large, such as Brasov and Maramures), valleys and passes

have various forms of relief, such as volcanic landscape (with craters, cones and dishes), especially in Calimani, Gurghiului and Harghita glacial relief (Rodna Mountains), a specific relief due to rocks (especially in massive Ceahlau and Ciucas )
