| 11. | Alpine orogeny started as early as the Mesozoic with the formation of the Alpide belt, some 200 Mya.
|
| 12. | From the Eocene onwards, the ongoing Alpine orogeny caused a N S rift system to develop in this zone.
|
| 13. | The Western Carpathians are an fold and thrust system called the Alpide belt, which evolved during the Alpine orogeny.
|
| 14. | The formation of the Alps ( the Alpine orogeny ) was an episodic process that began about 300 million years ago.
|
| 15. | The two mountains are possible remnants of a volcanic arc related to Alpine orogeny & mdash; uplifting of the Dinaric Alps.
|
| 16. | Similar geologic evidence can be seen in the Alpine orogeny of Europe, where the movement of the African plate raised the Alps.
|
| 17. | The tectonic uplift of the massif occurred late in the alpine orogeny, during the Oligocene, 30 to 40 million years ago.
|
| 18. | The basement is traversed by major east-west-striking, late Variscan fracture zones that were reactivated during the alpine orogeny cycle.
|
| 19. | The long-range effects of the Alpine Orogeny were relatively strong in this area and the effects of the Pleistocene glaciations were small.
|
| 20. | Some of the species of moths and insects show evidence of having been indigenous to the area from as long ago as the Alpine orogeny.
