	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 present day view of the Alps is also complicated by the fact that in regions where there was early extensive weathering it was possible for the deep molten granite to well up to the surface and mix with the sediments.
		The Eastern Alps consist of a central mass of crystalline and schistose rocks flanked on each side by a zone of Mesozoic beds and on the north by an outer band of Tertiary deposits.
		The appearance is strongly suggestive of faulting; and probably the southern margin of the chain lies buried beneath the plain of northern Italy.

		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 "main chain of the Alps" follows the watershed from the Merranean Sea to the Wienerwald, passing over many of the highest and most famous peaks in the Alps.
		The higher regions of the Alps were long left to the exclusive attention of the men of the adjoining valleys, even when Alpine travellers (as distinguished from Alpine climbers) began to visit these valleys.

		During the main pulse of the Alpine mountain building, the fold belts were exhumed as the Dinaric Alps along the Adriatic south coast of Yugoslavia, seen in relation to the Italian coast to the west and the Albanian/Greek coast to its south in the HCMM image that makes up this Plate.
		Limestone resists erosion in dry climates such as in the Mediterranean basin because most of the winter rain sinks underground.
		Although the structural deformation of the Dinaric Alps is older than that of the Makran coast (Plate C-9), the lineations parallel to the present Dalmatian shoreline indicate that this is a tectonically active region.

	Southern Limestone Alps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Southern Limestone Alps are the ranges of the Eastern Alps south of the Central Eastern Alps.
		The distinction from the latter group, where the higher peaks are located, is based on differences in geological composition.
		The Southern Limestone Alps extend from the Sobretta-Gavia Alps in Lombardy in the west to the Pohorje in Slovenia in the east.

		Southern Alps: root zone consisting of basement rocks of high metamorphic grade; probable source of some Austroalpine and Pennine nappes.
		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).

		Consequently, central and eastern Austria are geographically oriented away from the watershed of the Alps: the provinces of Upper Austria and Lower Austria toward the Danube and the provinces of Carinthia and Styria toward the Drau.
		The Central Alps run from Tirol to approximately the Styria-Lower Austria border and include areas that are permanently glaciated in the Ötzal Alps on the TiroleanItalian border and the High Tauern in eastern Tirol and Carinthia.
		The Northern Alps, which run from Vorarlberg through Tirol into Salzburg along the German border and through Upper Austria and Lower Austria toward Vienna, and the Southern Alps, on the Carinthia-Slovenia border, are predominantly limestone and dolomite.

		The Dachstein Limestone was investigated in traverses across the Loferer Steinberge, Reiteralm and Lattengebirge at Berchtesgaden, Steinerne Meer, Göll-Brett Massif (in which the back-reef facies is well exposed along the road to the Kehlstein tea house), Tennengebirge, Dachstein, and in some of the ranges farther to the east.
		The occurrence of beds or lenses of the "Hallstatt facies" is frequently reported in the "Dachstein limestone." In part, such reports refer to bona fide Hallstatt starved-basin sediments with their characteristic faunas, inter-fingered with tongues of reef talus in the foreslope of the barrier reefs.
		The megalodont limestone may be in transitional contact with the underlying loferites of member B, or may succeed them abruptly and even disconformably, with an erosional relief of 50 cm, and a basal conglomerate of loferite chips (Fig.

		The magnificent Dinara Mountain is a morphotectonic component of the Dinaric Alps, a mountain chain running through the territories of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Monte Negro, from the northwest to the southeast, separating the Adriatic sea from the Pannonian Plains.
		It is not uncommon that the same area bears different names in Croatia and in Bosnia, which points to the fact that for a long time Dinara has been, and still is, a natural boundary between the countries and acts as such in the full sense of the word.
		The basic appearance of the area is characterized by the karstic formations in limestone and lack of rich soil, precipitation, and vegetation (6).
