	Dinaric Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dinaric Alps or Dinarides (Italian: Alpi Dinariche; Croatian and Serbian: Dinaridi or Dinarsko gorje, Slovenian: Dinarsko gorstvo) are a mountain chain in southern Europe, spanning areas of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro and Albania.
		The highest mountain of the Dinaric Alps is the Prokletije, located on the border of eastern Montenegro and northern Albania, with the peak called "Lake Crest" at 2,692 metres or 8,833 feet.
		The Dinaric Alps were thrown up in more or less parallel ranges, stretching like necklaces from the Julian Alps up to the areas of northern Albania and Kosovo where the mountainous terrain subsides to make way for the waters of Drin and the fields of Kosovo.

		North-west of Sinj rise the Svilaja and Mosec Planinas; the ridges of Mosor and Biokovo, with Sveto Juraj (5781 ft), follow the windings of the coast from Spalato to Macarsca; Orjen marks the meeting-place of the Herzegovinian, Montenegrin and Dalmatian frontiers, and the Sutorman range appears in the extreme south.
		Better known is the Kerka, which rises in the Dinaric Alps and flows south-westward to the Adriatic.

		To the north-east of the Dinaric Alps extends a region of mountain, moor and forest, with deeply sunk alluvial basins, which finally expand into the lowlands of the Posavina, or Vale of the Save, forming the southernmost fringe of the Hungarian All old.
		Rising on the Mon tenegrin border, under the Lebrsnik mountains, it flows north-westwards at the foot of the Dinaric Alps; and, near Konjica, sweeps round suddenly to the south, and falls into the Adriatic near Metkovi~, after traversing 125 m.
		In both alike the scirocco, bringing rain from the south-west, is a prevalent wind, as well as the bora, the fearful north-north-easter of Illyria, which, sweeping down the lateral valleys of the Dinaric Alps, overwhelms everything in its path.

		During the main pulse of the Alpine mountain building, the fold belts were exhumed as the Dinaric Alps along the Adriatic south coast of Yugoslavia, seen in relation to the Italian coast to the west and the Albanian/Greek coast to its south in the HCMM image that makes up this Plate.
		The gently arcuate trends of the Dinaric folds are clearly traceable from the Yugoslav mainland onto the peninsulas and islands (Figure C-8.1).
		Although the structural deformation of the Dinaric Alps is older than that of the Makran coast (Plate C-9), the lineations parallel to the present Dalmatian shoreline indicate that this is a tectonically active region.

		The peculiar facial and cranial features of the Dinarics seem to be the results of differential inheritance in hybridization; the primary mixture which brings them about is apparently an Alpine-Mediterranean crass, with Mediterranean used in the widest sense of the word.
		The Asiatic Dinarics, who appeared early in the Metal Age, were apparently Alpine-Cappadocian hybrids; many of those went to Europe and settled in widely separated places, including sections of the Dinaric Alps.
		The blending of the Dinarics is never perfect in a chemical sense; in any Dinaric population there are ordinary Alpines and a few Atlanto-Mediterraneans along with their blended brethren.

		The Dinaric Alps, 1000 km long, follow the direction of the Adriatic Sea and at their northwest and southeast ends formed the 'aggregates' of the Alps and the Prokletije massif.
		Geographical latitude of the Prokletije, although south of the Alps, caused severe rainfalls and set the snowline at 1500 m, while the Alps are at 2800 m.

	Technical notes, Chapter IV
		Since the Alps are a long arc and the vallo is said to be as long as 1851 kms (with the last much fortified one km in Fiume!), it is supposed to be called according to the corresponding sector of the alpine ridge.
		So the Alps being, for geographical convention, divided in western central and eastern ones, the same convention should be adopted for the defensive structure itself: western, central and eastern vallo.
		Being clear that the Julian Alps and the Dinaric Alps are linked and almost lie on the same line stretching along the north west-south east direction, the fundamental question is to find a conventional and reasonable limit to make the Alps end up with.

		The Mediterranean climate extends in a narrow band along the western flanks of the Dinaric range, including the coast of Dalmatia, and along the Albanian mountain chains facing the Adriatic Sea.
		The mountain chains block the penetration of these patterns into the interior of the peninsula; indeed, in March it is possible to cross the northern Dinaric Alps from east to west through snow and, upon reaching the coast, emerge into bright sunshine with warm temperatures.
		Along the northern coast, the bora, a wind that originates in high-pressure cells north of the Alps in winter and is attracted by low pressure over the Mediterranean, brings icy blasts of air and precipitation followed by clear skies.
