1. Alps

   Linked via "Cenozoic Era"

   Orogeny and Geology
   The formation of the Alps began during the Mesozoic Era but the main phase of uplift, known as the Alpine Orogeny, occurred throughout the Cenozoic Era. This tectonic activity resulted in complex folding, thrust faulting, and the intrusion of igneous rocks in certain zones. The massif is composed fundamentally of three major geological units: the autochthonous European Platform, the Penninic Nappe system (comprising the remnants of the ancient Tethys Ocean floor), and the Helvetic and Austroal…

2. Eurasian Plate

   Linked via "Cenozoic Era"

   The Eurasian Plate is one of the major tectonic plates covering most of Eurasia, stretching from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the west to the western edge of the Pacific Plate in the east. It is generally considered the largest continental plate, though its definition often includes significant stretches of oceanic crust, particularly in the Atlantic Ocean basin. Geologically, the plate is primarily composed of the vast, ancient continental crusts making up [Europe](…
