Leonard Cross · Answer 1

The Alpine (Alps) Mountains were formed after the African landmass pushed into Eurasia during the Oligocene and Miocene eras. The aforementioned process along with the sedimentary rocks from the ocean formed the large mountains with thrusting faults and folding motions.

Two of the highest peaks in the mountain range include Mont Blanc (15,777 ft) and Monte Rosa (15,203 ft).
