Abstract
The contact zone between the Outer and Inner Western Carpathians was investigated. The combination of different geophysical modeling (mainly magnetotelluric, gravimetric, and seismic) brings a new perspective to the understanding of deep crustal structures of this contact zone. The Klippen Belt is surface representation of this contact zone. According to geophysical modeling, the Klippen Belt is a narrow and shallow structure. In higher depths, the contact zone is represented by the Carpathian Conductivity Zone, which is deep shear zone between the European Platform and Inner Carpathian block. The shear zone origin is connected with transpressional movement of the Carpathian block towards the Northeast to the European Platform. The strike–slip shearing resulted in a flower structure in the contact zone.
