Tectonics of Part of the Vinodol Valley Within the Model of the Continental Crust Subduction

Abstract

The Vinodol valley is analysed as an example of one of the unitedzones of shallow continental subduction. The structural analysistogether with the interpretation of structural dynamics of the centralpart of the valley is performed in that sense. The structural model thataccompanies the subduction process is constructed. These structuresare found to be largely dependent on the subduction plane geometry.
