	Interfrance - Haut-Jura

	Jura mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jura folds are located north of the main Alpine orogenic front and are being continually deformed, accommodating the northwards compression due to Alpine folding.
		The Jura (the rock after which the mountains are named) comprises of three major lithological units: the Malm, Dogger and Lias (giving rise to the name for the Jurassic Geologic period); which represent a shallow marine carbonate sequence, containing abundant bioclasts and oolitic horizons.
		Structurally, the Jura consists of a sequence of 'box' folds, the formation of which is facilitated by an evaporitic decollement layer.

		The mountains of the Jura are composed of sedimentary rock, mostly limestone or chalk.
		The Jura limestone is riddled with underground caverns whose chambers have been found to have a curious effect on the mountains' watercourses.
		Benefiting from the area's heavy rainfall (this is the wettest region in France, although it does have a dry spell in summer), the Jura mountains are heavily forested; even the highest peaks, which are half the height of the Alps, have a covering of oak and beech, interspersed with Scots pine.

	France Prominence - Introduction Page
		To the north and west of the Massif Central the land is mainly flat and low-lying, although the peninsula of Brittany jutting into the Atlantic Ocean presents a rugged granite coastline and an interior reaching an altitude in excess of 300m (1000 feet) in places.
		This was responsible for the uplift of the Alps, Pyrenees, and mountains of Corsica.
		The massif was raised up again in the same period as the formation of the Pyrenees and the Alps (the Alpine orogeny) by a counter-movement that crushed the sedimentary rocks of the area up against the hard granitic blocks, causing faulting and rifting.

		For millions of years the Jura massif has been the clear divide between the Rhine and the Rhône, but it was only a hundred years ago that the Jura started to become what it is today when the local smugglers first started to cross the winter snowfields with skis on their feet.
