Romania's natural landscape is almost evenly divided among: • mountains (31 percent), • hills (33 percent), • plains (36 percent). These varied relief forms spread rather symmetrically from the Carpathian Mountains, which reach elevations of more than 2, 400 meters, to the Danube Delta, which is just a few meters above sea level.
The arc of the Carpathians Over 1, 000 kilometers through the center of the country, covering an area of 70, 000 square kilometers. Romania's Carpathians are differentiated into three ranges: the Eastern Carpathians, the Southern Carpathians Transylvanian Alps, the Western Carpathians.
