Magnetotelluric (MT) results in the Carpathian Orogen and its surrounding areas (the Scythian and Moesian Platforms, as well as the Transylvanian Depression) are presented. Joint interpretation of MT data, and other geophysical information, provides an approximate lithospheric model along one profile which transverses, from west to east, the Transylvanian Depression, the Neogene Volcanic Chain, the Flysch Nappes, the Foreland, and the Moesian and Scythian Platforms. The model reveals the Alpine palaeo-plane of `consumption' (probably caused by the collision of two lithospheric plates generating the subduction exhibited in the Eastern Carpathians) of the Flysch Nappes' primary socles, the thickness of the Flysch Nappes, the platform basement structure and partial melting of the asthenospheric material in two depth ranges: 80-100 km to the west and more than 150 km east of the palaeo-plane.
