Building A New Map Of Tectonic Zoning For Albanides: A Few Issues To Consider

摘要

Albanides as regional geolo gical notion, are part of the structural tree Dinarides - Alb anides - Hellenides - Taurid. As such, they constitute a major segment of this Balkan structure, their tectonic evolution being part of Balkanide evolution. Thus, Albanides have consistently attracted the attention of researchers, both domestic and foreign, with regard to diversity of major tectonic units, the relationship between their structural features, litho facial characteristics, as well as their continuity in regionality i.e. their positioning within the Balkanides. This paper addresses a few points, dealing with tectonic zoning of Albanides, the relationship between major structural-facial units, characteristics of longitudinal and cross tectonic contacts etc. An important consideration is given to spatial positioning and structural-facial features of Krasta-Cukal tectonic area as well as specific relationships of this particular area with other bordering tectonic zones. In this regard a careful consideration have received the lithofacial appropriateness of this area, the differeces and similarities it has with neighbouring tectonic zones, the existence of transversal faults and their role in structuring of Albanides, the presence of tectonic windows and their significance in terms of tecto nic style and the manner of affecting major structural-facial units etc
