	Alps Information
		The border between the Central Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the Periadriatic Seam.
		The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
		The Alps arose as a result of the pressure exerted on sediments of the Tethys Ocean basin as its Mesozoic and early Cenozoic strata were pushed against the stable Eurasian landmass by the northward-moving African landmass.

	Green Paper on the Alps
		In addition, the Alps help to stabilise the climate as well as to reduce the danger of floods and, with their wealth of different landscapes, plant and animal species as well as drinking water, constitute one of the continent's major ecoreserves.
		In the Italian Alps (with the exception of South Tyrol), the traditional, regional economic structures did not collapse until the end of the 19th century, because the impact of industrialisation was only felt after the unification of Italy in 1861.
		The Alps are characterised by the contrasts between nature and culture, between stagnation and vision, quest for identity and migration, which have been given a new dimension by the ongoing societal and political developments.
