The paper published in previous year (Golonka et al., 2009) was dealing with tectonics of the western part of the Outer Carpathians in Poland. Now, present authors expanded the area of investigation into the central and eastern part of the northern Outer Carpathians (Figs. 1, 2). The structural style of this area was recently refined by seismic survey data, especially from the areas southwest and southeast of Krakow (Fig. 2). This survey was performed by Geofizyka Krakow Ltd. and tied to geophysical and geological borehole and surface data. The authors also utilized the recently published tectonic work, integrating geological and geophysical data (Dziadzio, 2006; Ku]mierek, 2010). The structural style is explained by complex plate tectonic evolution of the Carpathian Mountains and adjacent areas. The Carpathians define an extensive mountain arc, which stretches at a distance of more than 1 300 km, from Vienna area in Austria, to the Iron Gate on the Danube in Romania (Fig. 1). To the west, the Carpathians are linked with the Eastern Alps whereas to the east, they continue into the Balkan mountain chain. Traditionally, the Carpathians are subdivided into their western and eastern parts. The West Carpathians consist of an older, internal orogenic zone known as the Inner or Central Carpathians and the external, younger one, known as the Outer or Flysch Carpathians (Golonka et al., 2005a; ¥lączka et al., 2006). The interpreted seismic survey was located in generally northernmost part of the Outer Flysch Carpathians.
