	Apennine Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Apennine Mountains (Greek: Απεννινος; Latin: Appenninus--in both cases used in the singular; Italian: Appennini) are a range of mountains stretching 1000 km from the north to the south of Italy along its east coast, traversing the entire peninsula, and forming, as it were, the backbone of the country.
		The volcanic mountains of the province of Rome are separated from the Apennines by the Tiber valley, and the Monti Lepini, or Volscian mountains, by the valleys of the Sacco and Liri.
		In the northern Apennines the elevation of the sea floor appears to have begun at an earlier period, for the Upper Cretaceous of that part of the chain consists largely of sandstones and conglomerates.

		It extends south c.840 mi (1,350 km) from the Cadibona Pass in Liguria, NW Italy, where the Apennines join with the Ligurian Alps, to the Strait of Messina; the mountains of Sicily are a southwest continuation of the system.
		The central and southern Apennines have mineral springs, crater lakes, fumaroles, and volcanoes (two, Vesuvius and Etna, are still active).
		The Apennines are pierced by many railroad tunnels and highway passes, and by the Appian, Cassian, Flaminian, and Salarian ways (see Roman roads).

		High peaks of the Apennine ranges of the Calabrian Peninsula, as the southern extremity of the Italian Peninsula is known, include Botte Donato (1,929 m/6,329 ft) and Montalto (1,957 m/6,422 ft).
		The climate of Italy is highly diversified, with extremes ranging from frigid in the higher elevations of the Alps and Apennines, to semitropical along the coast of the Ligurian Sea and the western coast of the lower peninsula.
		In the lowlands regions and lower slopes of the Apennines bordering the western coast from northern Tuscany (Toscana) to the vicinity of Rome, winters are mild and sunny, and extreme temperatures are modified by cooling Mediterranean breezes.

	THE INTERMOUNTAIN BASINS WITHIN THE APENNINES (ITALY): LANDSCAPES RESULTING BY REPEATED STRONG EARTHQUAKES
		The epicentral areas and the most relevant ground effects of strong historical to modern earthquakes that occur in the Apennines — with typical hypocentral depths of 5 — 15 km - are systematically located within the intermountain extensional basins that characterize the landscape of the inner part of Central and Southern Italy.
		This indicates that the growth of the Apennines intermountain basins is due to the repeated occurrence of “characteristic” surface faulting earthquakes along the causative normal fault segments.
		This relation, or “seismic landscape”, is apparent for all the Quaternary normal fault basins of the Apennines, also where local factors such as very high rates of depositional/erosional processes due to the drainage network (Rieti basin) or pre-existing structural complexities (Bojano basin) tend to mask the real shape and size of the growing geologic structure.

	Décollement depth versus accretionary prism dimension in the Apennines and the Barbados
		Along representative cross sections of the Apennines and the Northern Barbados accretionary prisms, we measured the area, the décollement depth, the angle α of the upper envelope and the angle β of the dip of the regional monocline.
		The continental sections of the Apennines accretionary prism have a deeper décollement than the oceanic sections of the Northern Barbados, 6–10 km depth and <1 km depth, respectively, because the sediment pile is thinner on the incoming Barbados plate and its denser oceanic structure is more easily subducted.
		As a consequence, the larger area/volume and higher elevation of the Apennines with respect to the Barbados is determined by the Apenninic deeper décollement.

	Hollow Moon Cultures: Pteryx of the Apennines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As a rule, the more mobility a trog is permitted in the course of his or her duties, the harder his or her job is to qualify for, and (especially!) the more contact he or she has with the pteryx, the higher that trog's position will be, in the larger community of servants.
		The technological level of Apennine society is quite high -- it's not on par with IRL Earth, but is certainly a match for the gnomes of Serraine or Oostdok -- but the easy availability of cheap troglodyte labour, and the lack of any real challenge to their power since arriving on Matera (i.e.

	TRANSLATIONAL STEADY-STATE OROGENY IN THE NORTHERN APENNINES: DO COUPLED FRONTS REALLY EXIST?
		To add precision to this model, and as a prerequisite for testing it, we introduce and quantify the concept of "translational steady state," in which an orogen remains a fixed width while moving laterally.
		In this framework, deviations of the Apennines from the translational steady-state model are evident.
		The superposition of extension onto earlier compression could be due to mantle uplift, as suggested by D’Agostino, Jackson, Dramis and Funiciello in 2001, or to propagation of extensional rifting from the widening Tyrrhenian Sea in the south toward the Apennines in the north.
