Glimee-type landslides in the upper basin of the Ilişua Valley. Characteristic of the central and southern area of the Transylvanian Depression, where it was mainly described, the ,,glimee” relief appears in its northern border as well, in the Suplai Hills, in the upper basin of the Ilişua Valley, respectively. This type of massive landslides developed on Eocene-Oligocene sedimentary lithological structures, consisting of alternating sandstones, marls, and clays, in earlier periods with excessive rainfall. A distinct feature, with notes of originality, is represented by their location on the obverse side of the cuesta, on the slopes with southern and south-eastern exposition. Another peculiarity derives from the appearance of the ,,glimee”-type landslides on terrace scarp such as those in the area of Muncel Hill.
