The break in the continuity of the Alpine chain marked by the deep valley, the Vinschgau, of the upper Adige is one of the most remarkable features in the orography of the Alps.

The extension of Madeira Airport was conducted by the Brazilian construction company Andrade Gutierrez, and is recognized worldwide as one of the most difficult to achieve due to the type of terrain and orography.

Its continuity is very well marked in the western zone of Cantabria, while to the east, its orography starts to dilute, although the appearance of great faults mark its East-West route.

There are several key elements that are required to form lake-effect precipitation and which determine its characteristics : instability, fetch, wind shear, upstream moisture, upwind lakes, synoptic ( large )-scale forcing, orography / topography, and snow or ice cover.

Since the mountain ranges are oriented in a north south direction, increase in altitude to the west, and have a discontinuous orography, this allows valleys to have regions of relatively high precipitation in the west and drier regions in eastern parts of the valleys through orographic precipitation.

The orography of Lombardy is characterised by the presence of three distinct belts : a northern mountainous belt constituted by the Alpine relief, a central piedmont area of mostly pebbly soils of alluvial origin, and the Lombard section of the Padan plain in the southernmost part of the region.
