The Horizontal and The Vertical Plans of The Relief
The Fagaras Mountains lay from East to West like an immense summit with crenelated look, on about 70 km, including, between Suru and Lundisor, over 20 peaks higher than 2000m, some of them reaching or outrunning 2500 m (Dara 2500 m, Vanatoarea lui Buteanu 2507 m, Caltun 2522 m, Vistea Mare 2527 m, Negoiu 2535 m, Moldoveanu 2544 m).      On both sides of the summit detach abutment-like edges or feet, the northerners, about 27, shorter and strongly inclined, and the southern prolongs, with moderate slopes giving lop-sided transversal profile and the shape of myriapode.      There are two types of relief in vertical plan: one is high, ruiniform, modeled by glaciers, snow and frost (glacial relief and cryolite-nivation relief) the other is lower, tedious, modeled especially by torrents and running waters (stream-torrential relief)	The Glacial Relief The Stream-River Relief
