		The Northern Limestone Alps are separated from the Central Eastern Alps by the Grauwacken Zone.
		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 border between the Central Eastern Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the so-called Periadriatic Seam.
		Today, the limits of the Alps are usually based on geological criteria, meaning that hills that developed jointly with the higher parts of the Alps are also included.
		For example, in Austria, the Wienerwald, a wooded promontory, is usually considered to be a part of the Alps, whereas the hills of northern Upper Austria and northwestern Lower Austria, which are geologically much older, are excluded.

	Peaks and passes of the Alps
		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 effect of Mountain chains on prevailing Wind 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 (meteorology) of moisture in the form of Snow or Rain.
		The Alps arose as a result of the pressure exerted on Sediment of the Tethys Ocean basin as its Mesozoic and early Cenozoic Stratum were pushed against the stable Eurasia landmass by the northward-moving Africa landmass.
		These do not reach exactly to the same elevation, nor are they often found growing together; but their upper limit corresponds accurately enough to the change from a temperate to a colder climate that is further proved by a change in the wild Herb vegetation.
