context_page_description: Divisions of the Carpathians are categorization of the Carpathian mountains system.
  Below is a detailed overview of the major subdivisions and ranges of the Carpathian Mountains. The Carpathians are a "subsystem" of a bigger Alps-Himalaya System that stretches from the western Europe all the way to southern Asia, and are further divided into "provinces" and "subprovinces". The last level of the division, i.e. the actual mountain ranges and basins, is usually classified as "units". The main divisions are shown in the map on the right.
  To generalize, there are three major provinces: Western Carpathians, Eastern Carpathians, and Southern Carpathians.
