Abstract
Detailed description of the geological characteristics of the Republic of North Macedonia is given. The characteristics of the six major tectonic units are described: the Vardar zone (VZ) in Central Region, the Pelagonian massif (PM), the West-Macedonian zone (WMZ) and a small part of the Cukali-Krasta zone (CKZ) in the west, and the Serbo-Macedonian massif (SMM) and the Kraishtide zone (KZ) in the east. The geological map with these units is also shown, including the most presented lithological units: Quaternary alluvial and deluvial/proluvial sediments, Neogene, Paleogene and Mesozoic clastic rocks, Mesozoic, Paleozoic and Proterozoic carbonate rocks, Paleozoic and Proterozoic metamorphic rocks from Pelagonian and Serbo-Macedonian massif and Neogene, Paleogene, Mesozoic and Paleozoic magmatic rocks. Additionally, special attention is given to the Neogene and the Quaternary in North Macedonia.
