Vienna Basin
The Vienna Basin (German: Wiener Becken, Czech: Vídeňská pánev, Slovak: Viedenská kotlina) is a sedimentary basin between the Alps and the Carpathian Mountains. More than 50% of the Viennese basin is located in Lower Austria, the rest is in [[Vienna], the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The fairly level area has the shape of a spindle, over an area of 50 kilometres by 200 kilometres.
Parts:
- The Vienna Basin proper. The part within the Czech Republic is called Dolnomoravský úval (the Lower Moravian Vale), whilst that within Slovakia is called Borská nížina (the Bor Lowland)
- Marchfeld in Austria
- Leitha Mountains (Leitha-Gebirge) in Austria
- Chvojnice Hills (Chvojnická pahorkatina) in Slovakia
The Bor Lowland and Chvojnice Hills are known collectively as Záhorská nížina (the Záhorie Lowland).
Geology
The Vienna Basin formations are a series of sedimentary layers that were deposited in the Neogene.
