Abstract:
On the basis of regional geophysical studies, tbc relationships between tectonic zones of Albania are given. An ophiolitic zone (Mirdita zone) is recognised as a covering tectonic unit of the Extemal Albanides. Tbc separation between tbc zones of Mirdita and Korabi (Pelagonian zone) is determined by an active seismogenetic thrusting process. The external zones also are affected by evident overthrusts. Tbc front of orogene extends into tbc Adriatic Sca, where an important foredeep has developed.
