Every year the Alps still grow by 0.03-0.06 inches (1 to 2 millimeters). The classic theory of plate tectonics attributes this to the African plate colliding with the European plate and so ...

There are seven large tectonic plates and several smaller ... Their results imply that the plate collisions in the Alps are more ductile than those in the Himalaya, reducing the hazard of earthquakes.

The model above uses cardboard boxes and towels to show how fold mountains are created by the collision of tectonic plates. The weather in the Alps is affected by different temperatures of air ...
