Divisions of the Carpathians

The structure of the Carpathians is not uniquely determined. For example, while in Slovakia, there is a widespread, systematic classification, there are particular for Ukraine patchy, sometimes contradictory information. The affiliation of certain areas ( Banat Mountains, Trans Silva African basins, Serbian Carpathians) to the Carpathians is controversial. Some terms - especially the Beskydy - are handled differently in the countries concerned. Variously extend the boundaries of geomorphological units along the state borders, which is not usually wise.

Survey

The present classification is hierarchically divided into provinces and territories subprovinces. Each unit is assigned a number, so the location of this unit can be tracked on the map " Geomorphological structure of the Carpathians".

In parentheses partly German names are given, but only if they exist as historical or geographical terms. On a purely literal translations has been omitted.

In geomorphological units located on the territory of several States, the terms are listed in all local languages ​​, each separated by a comma. If a plus sign ( ) between the terms, this means that these terms are indicative of partially or completely different subunits and are not to be used interchangeably.
