	Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The border between the Central Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the Periadriatic Seam.
		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 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 treeline serves as pasture and for recreation.
		Among the principal ranges are the Maritime, Ligurian, Cottian, and Graian Alps 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, Algäuer Alps, Hohe Tauern, and Niedere Tauern in the north and the Dolomite and Carnic Alps in the south.

	Ligurian Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ligurian Alps are a mountain range in Italy.
		The Ligurian Alps are drained by the river Tanaro and other tributaries of the Po on the Piemontese side; by several smaller rivers that flow directly to the Mediterranean Sea on the Ligurian side.
		The chief peaks of the Ligurian Alps are Punta Marguareis (2650 m) and Monte Mongioie (2630 m).

		In the middle ages the ancient Liguria north of the Apennines fell to Piedmont and Lombardy, while that to the south, with the coast strip, belonged to the republic of Genoa.
		Southward their domain extended as far as Pisa on the coast of Etruria and Arretium inland in the ' The dividing line between Liguria and Etruria was the lower course of the river Macra (Magra), so that, while the harbour of Luna was in the former, Luna itself was in the latter.

	Italy
		With the Alps is connected the typical Italian figure of the chimney-sweep evoked by the fancy of artists and of poets.
		The Alps contributed a greater portion of alluvial materials than did the Apennines, and therefore the course of the Po was thrown towards the lower range, so that the plain on the left of the river is greater than that on the right.
		Liguria comprises the provinces of Genoa and Porto Maurizio and is bounded by the Apennines and the Ligurian Alps, and by the Roia and the Magra rivers.

	Alps
		The Alps is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west.
		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 Periadriatic Seam.

		Plausible causes for the re-heating observed in the central and western Alps are explored, and two hypotheses are selected that, at least qualitatively, seem capable to provide the heat explaining the observed thermal evolutions during exhumation: detachment or breakoff of the subducted slab, and heating by accreted radiogenic material (TARM).
		Modelling results show that re-heating in the central Alps may have been caused by slab detachment, whilst the time-scale implied by the geochronological data precludes the observed re-heating to be caused by radiogenic heating due to the presence of a TARM wedge.
		Slab detachment, inferred to have taken place in the central Alps, with implications for the thermal evolution of rocks presently exposed in the western Alps, can explain the re-heating observed in these areas, but its role in the exhumation of the high-pressure rocks is, as yet, unclear.

		The exhumation history of the eastern segment of the Ligurian (Albenga, chapter 6) is in signi.cant contrast to that of the Ventimiglia and Taggia regions.
		The subsidence detected in the Ligurian basin is attributed to a downward movement of the Ligurian basin itself.

		In Piemonte the more important karstic areas are localized in the sector of the Ligurian Alps where the exceptional intensity of the superficial and hypogean phenomena make this zone one of the more interesting areas in the Italian and European karstic panorama.

		We reconstruct the retrograde metamorphic history of three units in the Alps: the country rocks of the Alpe Arami peridotite (Central Alps), the Gran Paradiso nappe (Western Alps) and a tectonic mlange in the Voltri massif (Ligurian Alps).
		Recorded peak pressures are 1.6 GPa in the Alpe Arami country rocks, 1.3 ö 1.5 GPa in the Gran Paradiso and 1.5 GPa in eclogitic blocks of the Voltri mlange.
		The Alpe Arami country rocks underwent cooling and were then reheated to about 600 ¼C. The Gran Paradiso massif cooled to below 425 ¼C and was subsequently reheated to about 550 ¼C. The rocks of the Voltri mlange show no evidence of any late-stage thermal overprint.

		The coastal strip forms the Italian Riviera; further inland are the Ligurian Alps, on the west, and the Ligurian Apennines on the east.

		The Ligurian coast enjoys a mild maritime climate, compared to the semi-continental one of the Po valley, a few kilometers northward; in January, Genoa records an average temperature of about 8-10Â°C, with no frost, which can occur only in the mountainous interior.

		These sediments dip towards the north demonstrating the erosional nature of the southern border of the succession and implying that the adjacent orogenic belt formed the substratum rather than the margin of the sedimentary basin.

		Nowadays, the innermost part of the Northern Apennines chain is constituted by a belt of high- pressure metamorphic units extending from the Ligurian Alps to the Alpine Corsica, across the Ligurian Sea and the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea where the same units have been detected by geophysical surveys (Bartole et al., 1991).
		As a consequence the overall subduction-exhumation path of that units is linked to two different orogenic systems and, therefore the study of the timing of their exhumation is at the same time of interest for the Alpine and Northern Apennines geology.
		Whatever its cause, the substitution of source from Ligurian units to Alpine HP/LT units occurred in different times along the different transects across the chain between the Late Rupelian and the Middle Miocene, quite regularly migrating from west to east.
