In a geomorphological analysis on a geographical space, the study of the interdependence between the morphometric indicators can offer us new details concerning the characteristics and causal relationships between the considered parameters. The methodology taken from the literature was adapted to the geographical space of Bârsa. The research area includes a pilot area for which the boundaries are defined by inter fluves bordering the large confluence area of the Olt river in the Brașov Depression. The arrangement of the relief gives the research area obvious asymmetric features, which are completed in this study by the mathematical analysis and graphics. The conclu sion derived from the correlated mathematical analysis between the relief energy and the drainage density is that the relief energy is in a closely dependent relationship with the drainage density, the correlation being positively linear and directly prop ortional, fact prooved by the resulted graphical models.
