	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 timberline serves as pasture and for recreation.
		Among the principal ranges are the Maritime, Ligurian, Cottian, and Alpes Grées 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, Allgäu Alps, Hohe Tauern, and Niedere Tauern in the north and the Dolomite and Carnic Alps in the south.

		The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc at 4810 meters on the French-Italian border.
		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.

	Gesaeuse National Park \| Environment \| Geology
		The Northern Limestone Alps run from the alpine Rhine to the Viennese basin and were constructed from the remains of life forms in the primeval sea, with a high proportion of reef material and chalky mud.
		Limestone and Dolomite, - called carbonates - were therefore deposited in layers (they are 'sedimentary' rocks) and did not rise from the bowels of the earth.
		The rock of the limestone Alps was thrust from the south over the central Alps (the Tauern, the slate Alps) and are therefore called 'over-thrust mountains'.

		The Central Eastern Alps, Northern Limestone Alps and Southern Limestone Alps are all partly in Austria.
		With over half of the country dominated by the Alps the alpine climate is the predominant one.
		While northern and central Germany was the origin of the Reformation, Austria (and Bavaria) was the heart of the Counter-Reformation in the 16th and 17th century, when the absolute monarchy of Habsburg imposed a strict regime to maintain Catholicism's power and influence among Austrians.

		The nearest ones are the Allgäu Alps to the north, Wettersteingebirge and Mieminger Kette to the east, the Ötztal Alps to the south-east and the Samnaun- and Verwall Groups to the south-west and the rather insignificant Lechquellengebirge to the west.
		Though widly unknown the Lechtal Alps are the largest and to a certain degree most important group of the northern limestone Alps.

		Paw#owski (1970) estimated that around 40% of the total endemic flora of the Alps (including species of all altitudinal belts from the valley bottoms to the summit areas) are distinctly restricted to rock and debris habitats.
		The bulk of the endemic plants of the North-eastern Alps is obviously able to deal with the presence of such competitors and to survive in vegetation types predominated by them.
		Plant community endemism of the North-eastern Limestone Alps illustrates the fact that local and regional endemism may be due to different causal factors.

		The Alps are part of the belt of deformed rocks that extends across southern Europe into Asia Minor, thence into northern India, Russia, and China.
		Northern Apennines: nappes of turbidite and carbonates of Cretaceous age, deformed in post-Oligocene by action of Carnics/Ligurian plate during eastward migration of arc-subduction zone.
		The present geomorphology of the Alps is the consequence of interplay among structures established in the Tertiary, active neotectonics including vertical uplift, the continuing action of streams (many structurally controlled before the Pleistocene), and, above all, intense erosion by mountain glaciers, particularly during the Riss and Würm glacial episodes (Watts, 1971).

		The Berchtesgaden Alps continue east, south and west to the Austrian side, where they are known as the High Limestone Alps of Salzburg.
		On two-thirds of the surface area, the potentially natural vegetation is mixed wood (fir, spruce, deciduous trees), while on the higher slopes natural coniferous forests (predominantly spruce, larch and stone pine) are better adapted to the harsher climate.
		This ecosystem boasts a pronounced diversity of species due to broad expanses of high-altitude terrain, its proximity to the northern fringe of the Alps, extensive areas of unbroken forest alternating with open landscapes, and a number of other biotic and abiotic factors.

		As Eastern Alps do not reach the altitude found in Western Alps, in these groups respectively smaller areas are covered with glaciers.
		According to this proposal the border between western and eastern part of Alps should go: Lago di Como - north to Valle di Spluga and to the pass - further north by the Rhine valley to Bodensee.
		While the northern and southern limestone chains consist of sharp, rugged peaks in high areas and of grassy or partly rocky peaks in lower areas, the central range is sharp, wild and covered with glaciers on its high areas and mild and hilly on its lower areas.
