This is a detailed overview of the subdivisions of the Carpathian Mountains. The Carpathian Mountains or Carpathians (Carpaţi Czech, Polish and Slovak: Karpaty; Ukrainian: Карпати The Carpathians are a "subsystem" of the Alps-Himalaya System and are further divided into "provinces" and "subprovinces". The Alpide belt is a Mountain range which extends along the southern margin of Eurasia. A geologic or geomorphic province is a spatial entity with common geologic / geomorphic attributes The last level of the division, i. e. the actual mountain ranges and basins, is usually called "units". The main divisions are shown in the map on the right.
