A revaluation of the important of the climatic variations on the Earth in the last 120,000 years (Quaternary palaeoclimatological data) led us to render evident a special geodynamic moment around 40,000-39,000 years (ka) before present (BP). We have correlated this moment with a severe change of the precessional year duration caused by a modification of the rotational axis position under the influence of a cosmic body. We consider this cosmic event to be the capture of the Moon (by the Earth), former first planet ...

The investigation of the fluvial relief of the north-east side of Kosovo shows a particular scientific and practice interest, so our purpose is to give a circumstantial and full view of morphology and morphogenesis of this part during the evolution phases of its development. In the complex relief of this part, a very important part is the fluvial one, too, so, if we see it by its enlargement, it is ranged immediately after the structural relief, which is regarded to the fact that the fluvial morphogenesis phenomen...
