Slope processes are the following: gullying, torrentiality and run-off.

Considerations on the actual geomorphological processes within Valsan catchment-the Steiului and Turnului Valleys sector

Crystalline rocks are resistant to weathering and alteration; mica-schists easily discompose on the schistosity plans, but they resist to alteration; sedimentary rocks are attacked by dripping, gully formation, torrentiality and landslides.

It has a crucial role in the current morpho-dynamic by reducing or stopping the processes of pluvio-denudation, torrentiality, collapse and sliding.

The morpho-dynamic potential of Valsan's hydrographic basin

Besides the heavy rains, the flash floods occurrence was caused by: the rock friability, the high degree of torrentiality and the nearly circular form of the basin, allowing the fast concentration of liquid and solid flows.
