Editing Romania (section)

== Geography ==
Romania occupies much of the lower Danube basin and has a coastline along the western Black Sea. The Danube enters the country from the west and follows much of the border with Bulgaria before turning north toward the sea. Near the coast, the river divides into distributaries that form the [[Danube Delta]].

The Carpathian Mountains form an arc through the centre of Romania. Hills and plateaus extend outward from the mountain system, while broad plains occupy much of the south and west. The eastern and southeastern lowlands descend toward Moldova and the Black Sea coast.

Romania has a temperate continental climate. Winters are generally cold, while summers are warm or hot. Conditions vary according to elevation, latitude and distance from the Black Sea. Mountain areas receive lower temperatures and greater precipitation than the surrounding plains.
