We present the basic characteristics (multiplicities, distributions in transverse momenta, and correlations in the transverse plane) of fragments of the incident nucleus in inelastic interactions of relativistic /sup 12/C nuclei in nuclear emulsion. We observe effects of the transverse motion of the fragmenting nucleus and its angular momentum. A qualitative and critical analysis of a number of commonly used theoretical approaches to the fragmentation of relativistic nuclei is given.
