 Alps - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Alps   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
The Alps were formed during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs as a result of pressure exerted on the Tethyan geosyncline (sedimentary deposits in the ancestral Tethys Sea), as its strata were squeezed against the stable Eurasian landmass by the northward moving African landmass.
The squeezing action formed the folds (nappes) that rose out of the sea and pushed northward, often breaking and sliding one over the other to form gigantic thrust faults.
Other bird species include the fl grouse, caipercaillie, alpine chouch, fl woodpecker, and three-toed woodpecker.
