Albanides, a Typical Part of the Alpine Mediterranean Folded Belt, in the Light of the Geophysical Studies

The Albanides represent the assemblage of the geological structures in the territory of Albania, and together with the Dinarides at the North and the Hellenides at the South, have formed the southern branch of the Mediterranean Alpine Belt. The structural analysis of the Albanides and in the Albanian Adriatic Shelf according to the complex geophysical studies, in the framework of the integrated interpretation with geological information, is presented. There are analyzed also a hydrographical phenomenon in the South Adriatic Sea area, which are correlated with Albanides geological setting.
