Later that day, the Siret river threatened to break through the dykes protecting the town of Șendreni , as locals and emergency services reinforced the dykes with truckloads of sandbags to prevent the river breaking out and flooding

102-1168: The Central Moldavian Plateau. In the Siret Passage they cultivate potatoes and sugar beets . Characteristic of the plateau are mammals such as goats, wild boars , wolves , foxes , European wildcats , lynxes , badgers , and hares . Birds include black grouse , woodpeckers , cuckoos , pheasants , quails , hawks , owls , and fish include perch and the carp -like barbel .

119-729: The Moldavian Plain or Bârlad Plateau. The main influence on the climate is Dry Continental with frequent cold north winds in winter. In the Suceava Plateau and the Dniester Hills, there is an influence of Scandinavo – Baltic climate with the circulation of masses of polar air in the winter. Streams on the plateau flow into the Siret , Prut , or Dniester rivers. The Prut has the Jijia as its principal tributary. The Siret traverses and—with

136-596: The Northern Bukovina region of Ukraine , and flows southward into Romania before it joins the Danube . It is 647 km (402 mi) long, of which a 559 km (347 mi) section is in Romania, and its basin area is 44,811 km (17,302 sq mi), of which 42,890 km (16,560 sq mi) in Romania. Its average discharge is 250 m /s (8,800 cu ft/s). In ancient times, it

153-490: The Siret Passage. The Moldavian Plateau holds hydrocarbon resources ( petroleum and the associated gases), which are extracted in the southwest portion. In the northwest are found Romania's most important reserves of kaolin (china clay), extracted and used to produce porcelain . Hemp is cultivated in the Suceava Plateau, cereals and wine grapes ( Vitis vinifera ) in the Jijia Plain, Bălți Steppe, Bârlad Plateau, and

170-661: 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 or other natural hazards. The slope of the terrain follows the direction of the rivers: from northwest to southeast. Along them, the altitude decreases from 700 m (2,300 ft) to under 200 m (660 ft). The strata are disposed in North-South and northwest-southeast aligned layers, producing asymmetric valleys and ridges. Among

Other bodies of water are the rivers Siret and Prut ( Lake Stânca-Costești , Lake Dubăsari  [ ro ] ), in

The relief in the valleys of the rivers and creeks is quite conspicuous, so that

221-770: The main part of the Moldavian Plateau from the Dniester Hills The Moldavian Plateau comprises several distinct regions: The climate of this plateau is transitional Temperate Continental . Overall, the altitude affects the climate, with annual mean temperatures in the Suceava Plateau ranging between 6 °C (43 °F) and 8 °C (46 °F) and precipitation of 500 millimetres (19.7 in) to 800 millimetres (31.5 in) per year and, with annual mean temperatures of 8 °C (46 °F) to 10 °C (50 °F) and precipitation of 400 millimetres (15.7 in) to 500 millimetres (19.7 in) in

238-772: The medieval Principality of Moldavia , with the Eastern Carpathian Mountains and the Bugeac Plain representing the remaining part. This fact is the origin of the name of the plateau. This geographic area (including Eastern Carpathians and the Bugeac) is also called (especially by historians) the Carpathian-Dniester-Pontic region , or the Carpathian-Dniester region , since it is bounded by the Carpathians to

255-730: The valleys have large terraces and hillocks . The Siret Passage ( Romanian : Culoarul Siretului ), ramified in the north with the Moldova Valley , and Suceava Valley cuts the main part of the plateau from the Moldavian Subcarpathians. The Prut Passage cuts the Plateau in half in the north-south direction. The Dniester Passage bounds it from the Podolian Plateau and the Pontic Plain. Its ramification Răut Passage separates

The Moldavian Plateau was formed at the end of the Neogene 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
