Carpathians where are located. An impressive mountain range, or where are the Carpathians on the world map? Carpathian Mountains: Main features and interesting facts

Carpathian mountains spread out in Eastern Europe and ... Moon. Yes, the mountain range with such a name stretched along the southern "coast" of the lunar sea of \u200b\u200brains. Perhaps, tourist groups will be sent in the near future. However, now only earthly Carpathians are of interest to us.

The mountain system begins not far from the Slovak capital of Bratislava and ends near the Romanian city of Orshov. On the cosmic picture, the Carpathian Mountains resemble the wriggling snake. Her head "bites" the Alps, and the tail is lowered to the Black Sea. The impression arises that the Carpathians arose as a result of some kind of vortex process like the atmospheric cyclone.

A narrow mountain chain crosses the territory of several Eastern Europe immediately. Austria, Hungary, Serbia and the Czech Republic own only her tiny pieces. Poland and Ukraine got much more. Slovakia and Romania are owned by the largest slices of mountain pie. In the last mountain occupy a significant part of the territory.

Scientists still lead disputes about the names of the mountains. It is curious that in almost all the languages \u200b\u200bof the peoples inhabiting the above countries, the word "Carpathians" sounds almost the same. In some cases, it literally means "Mountain" or "Stone Wall". There is also a version that the "Carpathians" went from the Karp's tribe, which inhabited these places in the first century of our era. At the same time, linguists cannot explain why this people acquired exactly the name.

It should be borne in mind that the Eastern Carpathians are considered to be a seismic region. Very strong earthquakes happened here. There is a so-called seismic zone in Romania. The forces of the jigsaw in it reached 8.3 points on the Richter scale. Their echoes were fixed even in Finland. The most elected element was played out in 1940 and 1977. Then Bucharest suffered greatly. However, in comparison with Japan, where the earthquakes occur almost daily, the Carpathians seem to be an island of complete stability.

Between the Alps and the Black Sea

Southern Carpathians in the late autumn

Despite relatively modest sizes, the Carpathians have a complex structure. In the western part there are external and internal Western Carpathians. They are divided into 12 regions. And those in turn, on 60 mountain areas! Perhaps the most famous of them are Czech Tatras. This is followed by external and internal oriental carpathians. Here mountain areas are smaller - just about a dozen. Western Romanian, South, Serbian Carpathians and Transylvanian Plateau are adjacent to them. To simplify the Carpathians are conditionally divided into Western, Eastern and South.

On the physico-geographical map, the mountain system looks thin strip. With the total length of the mountains of 1500 km, their width ranges from 100 to 340 km. The most narrow part falls on Ukraine, and the greatest - on Romania. The highest vertex is considered to be Mount Gerlakhovsky shtit in Slovakia. Its height reaches 2654 m. From the Alps Carpathians separates the narrow gap of the width of only 14 km!

Only here

In the lower tatras there is a whole collection of caves

To make an idea of \u200b\u200bthe most interesting places in the Carpathians, make a virtual journey through a mountainous country.

Local hits are the Manyava Waterfall and Mountain Lake Sidevir, which is located on the territory of the National Park of the same name.

Castle "Peles" in the mountains of Romania

Southern Carpathians are also called Transylvanian Alps. All this beautiful mountainous country fit into the entire territory of Romania. Mount Moldova is considered the highest point (2544 m).

Nuances of Carpathian weather

Snow in the mountains is from December to March. At another time you can safely go to hiking

Since the Carpathian Mountains occupy a large area and are characterized by different heights, weather conditions may be pretty different even in the same area. The higher, the colder. Than south, the warmer. In the mountain valleys of snow may not even be in winter. The farther from the Black Sea, the more continental climate. Despite such a variety of conditions, however, there are some climatic patterns.

The coldest month is counted January. The average temperature in the north and east of the Carpathians oscillates near -5 ° C, in the south - about -3 ° C. However, on the tops of the mountains can be colder - to -10 ° C. According to Russian standards, such temperatures are not considered frost. The average temperature of July in the foothills in the north is + 18 ° C, in the south + 20 ° C. High in the mountains even in the midst of summer, the temperature may be no higher than + 5 ° C. In general, the temperature regime in the Carpathians is favorable all year round.

If we talk about precipitation, then the least falls in the East and the south of Carpath (800 mm per year). In the Western and Romanian carpathians, their number grows up to 1000 mm. In the highlands, this figure increases 1.5-2 times. Maximum precipitation falls for the summer. Most often it rains. The duration of snow cover in the foothills is 2-3 months. Ice and eternal snow in these places are not.

Morality is simple. The ski season in the Carpathians usually begins in December and ends in March. They ride at altitudes from 1000 m. This means that the rest of the year is quite suitable for hiking. At altitudes up to 1000 meters it can be done in winter. But for high mountain routes, warm clothes will be needed even in the summer.

If you want to avoid rains, it is better to go hiking in spring or autumn. True, in the summer, the risk of getting ridiculed only in high-mountainous areas. If the route passes through the foothills or slopes at small heights, the rain is not feared. Enough in the raincoat and waterproof tent.

Without a doubt, the most famous and popular mountains in Europe are the Alps. But in this part of the world there is another mining system that is inferior to the Alps in height, but surpasses them in size. And she also attracts great attention to tourists and winter holiday lovers. Where are the Carpathians? In which countries are they located? When these mountains were formed, and how are they interesting?

"Stone Mountains"

The word "Carpathians" causes all approximately the same images and plots: a dark forest, a thick fog, sprinkling on the slopes, sorcerers-plenty and, of course, the castle of the famous Count Dracula. These mountains are really shrouded in some halo of mysticism and mysteriousness. But not everyone knows exactly where the Carpathians are located and when they were formed.

The name of this mining system for the first time used Claudius Ptolemy in the second century of our era. It is found in both Herodota works. In particular, the "Father of History" mentions the Karpis River. It is believed that this influx of the Danube borrowed its name from the mountains, from the slopes of which it flows.

The word "Carpathians", according to some researchers, comes from the name of the Thracian tribe "Karpov", which lived in this territory in the III-IV centuries. Other scientists connect it with the defective word Kar, which is translated as "stone". True, the "stone mountains" the Carpathians can be called with a large stretch. After all, most of the mining system is represented by gentle valleys and vertices with smooth outlines, where rocky protrusions and pointed peaks are extremely rare.

However, there is a third version that binds the origin of toponym with the Slavic word "HRB", which means "ridge". If you take into account where the Carpathians are located, then this version looks quite plausible. After all, it was the Slavic tribes and peoples for many centuries who mastered this terrain for many centuries.

The origin and age of the Carpathian mountains

Long before the formation of a modern mountain system in her place there was a chain of the ridges, which connected the sudans with the Dobruda (elevation in Romania). Geologists are called her parchard. Subsequently, these mountains were destroyed by powerful movements of the earth's crust, and in their place to the beginning of the mesozoic, almost flat plain was formed.

The age of Carpathian geosyncline is enough "young" - only 25 million years. The process of forming a mountainous country began at the end of the Paleogenic period and occurred gradually.
