Geodynamic Characteristics of Albanian Territory

The albanian territory belongs to Dinarido-Albano-Hellenic wrinkled belt from the geological point of view. This belt represents the southern branch of Mediterranean Alpine wrinkled belt. It lays (Suess 1983) on southern extension of Alps, along eastern coats of Adriatic and Ionian seas and through Aegean sea passes to Tauride forming as such the wrinkled range of Dinaro-Albano-Helene-Taurid (Fig. 1). The geological structure of Albania in built up from different types of rocks which include quite a wide range of aging. Their age date from Paleozoi as the oldest one untill Quaternari where can be widely found formations of magmatic, sedimentary and less metamorphic genesis. The geological structure of Albanian territory as well is divided in so called inner and outer zones where the first one are located in north-east part of the country dhe the lates zones in south-western part of it. Nowadays the movements of albanian orogjen are towards microplaque of Adria and their relationships manifest features of continental collision.
