Abstract
In this last chapter of the book we present and interpret stress data in Europe (Sect. 11.1). In the following, stress orientations from the World Stress Map data set are displayed as a hybrid stress map and are interpreted based on global mantle flow (Sect. 11.2) and in terms of plate-tectonic sources (Sect. 11.3).
