The Birth of The Fagaras Mountains
The Carpathians are considered "young mountains" at geological scale of time, forming in the interval expanse between the ending of the Mesozoic Period (Cretaceous) and the beginning of the Quaternary Period, in alpine orogenesis, common fact for the whole mountainous system developed in the Alpine-Carpathian-Himalayan geosyncline.      Genetically, the oldest part of the Romanian Carpathians constitutes the clear area in which there are also the Fagaras Mountains with origins in Paleozoic, that is individualized like continental building, beginning with the hercynian orogenesis at the end of the Paleozoic Period (carbonifer - permian) and continuing with the alpine one.      The Carpathians cathena suffered in Neozoic, lengthways the Alpine orogenesis, three major rising moves, which had raised simultaneousy the three platforms of erosion: Borascu(at over 2000 m ), Rau-Ses(at 1200-1600 m) and Gornovita(at 1000 m), well individualized in the Meridional Carpathians.
