Sažetak
In Adriatic first magma found its way to the surface along deep fissures when the first continent of Panagea began to split up. Some of the magma was captured under the ground and as it cooled turned into veins and various kinds of sub-volcanic rock. The sediments (about 5 km high) during the Mesozoic covered the volcanoes During the formation of the Alps, the layered rocks folded, faulted and were eroded, and the magmatic and volcanic rocks of Croatia eventually appear at the surface. In Pleistocene a great part of the bottom of today's Adriartic sea was tumed into land. The islands, including Jabuka and brusnik, were higher, or even becoming a part of the mainland, which contributed to their being eroded. In this period relatively soft volcanic rocks of Vis near Komiža being eroded.
