This projection was not applied in a uniform way for the whole territory of the country, but differently for the areas situated east and west of the Zimnicea meridian, respectively. For each of these two zones I have shown the peculiarities of applying the Bonne projection. furthermore, I explained in detail the means of establishing the nomenclatures of the maps at a scale of 1:20,000, but also at smaller scales, 1:50,000, 1:100,000 and 1:200,000. Since the analyzed map projection preserves area measurements, I verified this property on five maps at the scale of 1:20,000, chosen from both zones. Results obtained for the zone east of the Zimnicea meridian showed a 0.0005% difference, falling within the tolerated error, but for the maps situate...

These freely-available data were classified using Natural Brakes, Quantile, Equal Interval, Geometric Interval, Standard Deviation, Defined Interval and Manual Interval, so as to highlight their relevant aspects. The value of the goodness of absolute deviation fit was calculated for each method and each data set. The maps were then created using combined choropleth and proportional symbol methods. The ratio between the total number of 112 calls and the county populations, structured into five classes, has been represented u...

The network consists of three lines crossing the major lithosphere contacts: the Tornquist-Teisseyre Zone (TTZ) separating the East European Plate from the Intra-Alpine Microplate (IaP), Peceneaga-Camena Fault, as the boundary between EEP and Moesian Microplate (MoP), and the Trans-Getica Fault (TGF) between MoP and IaP. The fourth line is crossing the Vrancea active geodynamic area located in the bending area of East Carpathians. The project INDEGEN (grant CEEX-2 MENER no. 732/2006-2008) started in 2006 with a duration of three years, managed by the Institute of Geodynamics of the Romanian Academy in co-operation with other scientific organizations: Technical University for Civil Engineering – Faculty of Geodesy, University of Bucharest, Geological Institute of Romania, and National Institute for Earth Physics. The main t...
