Summary/Abstract: The space of North-East Metalliferous Mountains associates several morphological complexes with nuanced structural - evolutional typologies. The vectorial trajectories of morphological evolution of the region, together with the forms of denudation processes propagation, reflected by the current morphology in morphofunctional complexes polyphase cooperation, define a greater structural - volcanic variety, which is integrated into a distinctive evolutional typology. The volcanic morphostructure present specific morphologies, materialized in the current relief through necks, dykes, sills, apophysis corpuses, pseudocones, erosive shoulders, lava plateaus and volcanic - sedimentary piedmonts reduced at the level of structural ridges, the totally isolated keeping of basalt plateaus, and also the tendency to detach the adventive cones from the main eruptive structures.
