=== Geology === [[File:Žlebiči.jpg|thumbnail|Solution runnels (also known as rillenkarren) are a [[Karst topography|karst]] feature on the [[Karst Plateau]], as in many other karst areas of the world.]] Slovenia is in a rather active [[seismic zone]] because of its position on the small [[Adriatic Plate]], which is squeezed between the [[Eurasian Plate]] to the north and the [[African Plate]] to the south and rotates counter-clockwise.<ref name="Seisme">{{cite web|url=http://www.arso.gov.si/en/Seismology/|title=Seismology|access-date=30 July 2008}}</ref> Thus the country is at the junction of three important [[Tectonics|geotectonic]] units: the Alps to the north, the Dinaric Alps to the south and the Pannonian Basin to the east.<ref name="Seisme"/> Scientists have been able to identify 60 destructive earthquakes in the past. Additionally, a network of seismic stations is active throughout the country.<ref name="Seisme"/> Many parts of Slovenia have a [[Carbonate rock|carbonate]] [[bedrock]] and extensive [[cave system]]s have developed.
