	Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eastern Alps are commonly subdivided according to the different geological composition of the more central parts of the Alps and the groups at its northern and southern fringes: Northern Limestone Alps, Central Eastern Alps and Southern Limestone Alps.
		The border between the Central Eastern Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the so-called Periadriatic Seam.
		The Northern Limestone Alps are separated from the Central Eastern Alps by the Grauwacken Zone.

	Geology of the Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The Eastern Alps consist of a central mass of crystalline and schistose rocks flanked on each side by a zone of Mesozoic beds and on the north by an outer band of Tertiary deposits.
		Throughout the whole extent of the Eastern Alps it is strictly limited to the belt between this fault and the marginal zone of Molasse.

		The valleys of the Alps are areas of year-round settlement; the flatter upland tracts comprise pastures and seasonally inhabited settlements, and the zone above the timberline serves as pasture and for recreation.
		Among the principal ranges are the Maritime, Ligurian, Cottian, and Alpes GrÃ©es in France and Italy and the Bernese, Glarus, and Pennine (or Valais) Alps in Switzerland.
		Well-known mountain chains of the Eastern Alps are the Bavarian Alps, AllgÃ¤u Alps, Hohe Tauern, and Niedere Tauern in the north and the Dolomite and Carnic Alps in the south.

		The Alps form but a small portion of a great zone of crumpling which stretches, in a series of curves, from the Atlas Mountains to the Himalayas.
		The Eastern Alps consist of a central mass of crystal line and schistose rocks flanked on each side by a zone of Mesozoic beds and on the north by an outer band of Tertiary deposits.
		The central zone of crystalline rock consists chiefly of gneiss es and schist s, but folded within it is a band of palaeozoic rocks which divides it longitudinally into two parts.

	Peakware - European Alps
		The Alps attracts 100 million tourists annually, and people of the region face great challenges as they struggle to preserve the area's natural beauty and historic charm in the face of growth, overdevelopment, and environmental stresses such as air pollution.
		The Alps are usually divided topographically into the Western, Central, and Eastern Alps.
		The Alps are extended southward by the Dinaric Alps, which follow the eastern shore of the Adriatic, and Apennines, which extend through Italy.

	Results
		The thermal structure of the Eastern Alps, a crucial input parameter for the strength calculations, has been determined on the basis of 2D numerical modelling.
		Plotting the seismic activity along and in the vicinity of the TRANSALP Line onto the model predictions clearly suggests a better correlation between the depth distribution of earthquakes and the mechanical strong parts of the layers for a strong model configuration.
		In summary, the neotectonic activity in the Eastern Alps is in better agreement with a strong rheology along the TRANSALP transect suggesting that the lateral extrusion of the central Eastern Alps towards the Pannonian basin is still (again) ongoing.

	Limits Of The Alps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		But if we confine the meaning of the term Alps to those parts of the chain that are what is commonly called "Alpine", where the height is sufficient to support a considerable mass of perpetual snow, our boundaries to the west and to the east must be placed at spots other than those mentioned above.
		On the northern side the Alps (in whichever sense we take this term) are definitely bounded by the course of the Rhine from Basel to the Lake of Constance, the plain of Bavaria, and the low region of foot-hills that extend from Salzburg to the neighbourhood of Vienna.
		One result of this limit, marked out by Nature herself, is that the waters which flow down the northern slope of the Alps find their way either into the North Sea through the Rhine, or into the Black Sea by means of the Danube, not a drop reaching the Baltic Sea.

		Central Alps are located in the Eastern Switzerland to the east of Bernese and Pennine Alps and beyond Grimsel and Furka Passes.
		Farther south on the Swiss-Italian border between Simplon and Splügen passes lie the Lepontine Alps (eastern part of the range is sometimes refered to as Adula Alps).
		While the mountains in the Central Eastern Alps are not as high and generally not as steep as in Western Alps, the normal routes on the most high peaks are in the F-PD range.

	Peaks And Passes Of The Alps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Alps form a great mountain range, consisting of a main chain, with ramifications, and of several parallel minor chains.
		They thus form a single connected whole as contrasted with the plains at their base, and nature has made no breaks therein, save at the spots where they sink to comparatively low depressions or passes.
		Our selected divisions relate only to the High Alps between the Col de Tenda and the route over the Radstadter Tauern, while in each of the 18 subdivisions the less elevated outlying peaks are regarded as appendages of the higher group within the topographical limits of which they rise.

		The electromagnetic induction pattern in the eastern Central and Eastern Alps is characterised by a (continuous) large-scale zone on which the real parts of the induction arrows show anomalous directional behaviour.
		A coarse mesh of Magnetotelluric (MT) and Geomagnetic Deep Soundings (GDS) in the Alps of Graubünden and Valais (western Switzerland) indicates that this electromagnetic variation anomaly is restricted to the Mesozoic sediments of the North Penninic Bündnerschiefer-facies.
		Striking similarities in position and arrangement between this zone and the magnetic signature in the Eastern Alps are found.

		These considerations are critical in the Bergell and Insubric areas in the eastern Central Alps, where late Oligocene-early Miocene movements have a great impact on the actual nappe pile geometry.
		The bulk kinematics during the continental collision could be inferred from the analysis of shear-zone patterns in the ductile field (Gapais et al., 1987) and from the study of fault populations in the brittle field, by use of the classical methods of fault slip analysis (Angelier, 1984; Marrett and Allmendinger, 1990).
		The NW-SE oriented Forcola and Muretto normal faults, at the western and eastern block boundary respectively, are bounded in the north and in the south by two major strike-slip faults, the NE-SW oriented, sinistral-reverse Engadine Line and the dextral E-W oriented Insubric Line.
