Geodetic and geologic research of recent tectonic activity in Dinarides

Initial tectonie movements of Adriatic Microplate result in dominating compression in the area of Dinarides. Collected structural data, compared with surface and depth data, with seismologieal and geodetie measurements taken in the account enabled the classifieations of struetures. Deformations and movements of structures directly depend on the stress orientation. This orientation varies from between 340-160° to 30-210°. In order to visualize the stress orientation, formation of different types of structures and their movements, examples of eompressional structures are shown, as well as rotations of structures and conditions of creation of extensional struetures. Finally, the map with fault zones is included, too. The data show narrowing of the area of Adriatic Microplate and the existenee of its southern and northern part. Both parts are changing movement directions, leading to more tectonic activity. In active areas, formation of structures is recognized, and causality with fault locations and seismic activity is established. The amplitudes of tectonie movements derived from geodetie measurements between 1994 and 1998 represent important contribution for better understanding the tectonic activities in the area.
