    This document summarizes the major tectonic units of the Alps, Carpathians, Dinarides and Hellenides mountain ranges in Europe. It divides the regions into several mega-units based on their origins, including units derived from Europe, the Adriatic plate, and ophiolites/oceanic accretionary prisms. Key tectonic zones within each region are also listed and located on a reference map.
