  Unique Facts-Europe-The Alps
The Eastern Alps are commonly subdivided according to the different geological composition of the more central parts of the Alps and the groups at its northern and southern fringes: Northern Limestone Alps, Central Eastern Alps and Southern Limestone Alps.
The border between the Central Eastern Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the so-called Periadriatic Seam.
The Northern Limestone Alps are separated from the Central Eastern Alps by the Grauwacken Zone.

North of the Periadriatic seam the three main nappe stacks of the Alps are found: the Helvetic, Penninic and Austroalpine nappes.
This subdivision is more or less according to the paleogeographical origins of the rocks found in the units: the Helvetic nappes contain material from the European plate, the Austroalpine nappes material from the Apulian plate, the Penninic nappes material from the domains that existed in between the two plates.
In many spots in the central zone north of the Periadriatic seam large antiforms called anticlinoria can be found, sometimes they are displayed in the outcrops as windows.
