The Two Stages of Structural Formation of the Coastal Belt of the External Dinarides
I. Blašković
Abstract
Two successive stages of tectonism have been responsible for the formation of structures in the coastal part of the External Dinarides. As a result, Dinaride- and Hvar-striking structures formed, showing NW-SE and E-W strike orientation, respectively. Besides the great diversity in the geological and geophysical characteristics and intensive disruption, the coastal area represents a cohesive geotectonic unit, showing a uniform geodynamic evolution that is here confirmed by laboratory modelling.
