Abstract
A new tectonic division of the Western Carpathians territory is proposed. The Western Carpathians are divided into two main zones according to structural individualization of tectonic units. The External Western Carpathians zone comprises the Outer group of nappes tectonically individualized during the Neogene. The Internal Western Carpathians including three groups of nappes, the Upper, Middle and the Lower group, tectonically separated during the Cretaceous.
Key words: tectonic division, Western Carpathians
