Rezumat

The morphometric characteristics of the relief decisively determine the way of the land use. For example, flat relief, with low altitudes (specific for the Cubolta Plain) favors predominantly agricultural use of the territory, while the high lands, with steep slopes, are unsuitable for these land categories, but become favorable for forested lands (in the geomorphological and climatic conditions of the Republic of Moldova). Thanks to the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) techniques, it was possible to map the morphometric parameters (altitude, slope, exposure, etc.) of the researched basin and their graphic representation through maps. Topographic maps at a scale of 1:25,000 served as the cartographic base. ArcGIS 10.5 software was used for the morphological and morphographic analysis of the studied region. Thus, based on the interpolation of the level curves obtained, the hypsometric map, that of the slopes and the exposure, was created. Thus, it was determined that the elevation of the Cubolta Basin varies between 85 m and 280 m, with an average elevation of 221 m. The average slope of the basin is below 5°, and the dominant exposures are the southwest and northeast, respectively. The determined morphometric conditions, once again demonstrate their favorability for arable land, especially for intensively mechanized crops (cereal and technical).
