The alps are the highest and the most extensive type so f the mount ranges system of the Europe and they stretch to about 1200 km and they were formed by the 10 million of year the collision of the African and the Eurasian plates and this event led to the marine sediments to rose and they left the folded mount peaks as the mount blanc and Matterhorn.
