Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles

Plateau is a geographic area spanning northeast Romania, most of
Moldova, and most of the Chernivtsi Oblast of Ukraine. The Moldavian
Plateau was formed at the end of the Neozoic through sediments, over an
old continental platform, the East European Platform. Afterwards, the
settled sediments, which were brought in by rivers from the Carpathian
Mountains, were modeled by the elements giving the plateau its current
aspect. The materials that formed the sediments are gravel and sand.
Hardened, they formed gritstones. All over the plateau, the latter are
interspersed with clays, or badlands, which produce landslides.
