The term Carpathian Basin is used in Hungarian literature, while the West Slavic languages (Czech, Polish and Slovak), the Serbo-Croatian, German and Romanian languages use Pannonian Basin (in Hungarian the basin is known as Kárpát-medence, in Czech; Panonská pánev, in Polish; PanoĊski Basen, in Slovak; Panónska panva, in Slovenian and ...
Mapping increased after the war, with a growing staff at the Geological Survey and a new map was released in 1956. Understanding of Hungarian geology changed with the introduction of plate tectonics theories in the 1970s, which changed views on the formation of the Pannonian Basin. [citation needed]
The Pannonian Region is a large alluvial basin surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains to the north and east, the Alps to the west and the Dinaric Alps to the south. The basin was once the bed of an inland sea. It is flat, and is crossed from north to south by the Danube and Tisza rivers. The region contains all of Hungary, and around the ...
The geology of Croatia has some Precambrian rocks mostly covered by younger sedimentary rocks and deformed or superimposed by tectonic activity. [1] The country is split into two main onshore provinces, a smaller part of the Pannonian Basin and the larger Dinarides. These areas are very different.
The Jurassic-Cretaceous tectonic structure was later changed by various types of the overstep complexes: the Central Carpathian Paleogene Basin, Buda Paleogene Basin, Vienna Basin (Neogene, pull-apart type), Pannonian Basin (or the Danube Basin), and the volcanic complexes: Neogene volcanics of Carpathians (or just Neovolcanis).

Pelso and Tisza units, the Zágráb-Hornád line is the former plate margin between them. Pelso plate or Pelsonia Terrane is a small tectonic unit. It is situated in the Pannonian Basin in Europe.
After the formation of the Dinaride Mountains, the South Pannonian Basin filled with the Ottnangian-Karpathian rock salt formation up to 700 meters thick, the Badenian marine clays, sandstones, conglomerates and reef limestones, Sarmatian brackish clays, and the Pannonian and Pontian freshwater sand and clay deposits, up to two kilometers thick ...
Molasse deposits laid down in the Oligocene span into southern Slovakia from the Pannonian Basin in Hungary. The back-arc molasse formed several large basins, including the Vienna Basin, Danube Basin, South Slovak Basin and East Slovak Basin in the Neogene (the Danube, South Slovak and East Slovak are all subdivisions of the larger Pannonian ...
