The Alps were formed through the collision of the African and European tectonic plates, which began about 30 million years ago. This collision caused the Earth's crust to fold and push upwards, creating the mountain range that we know as the Alps. Continued tectonic activity and erosion have shaped the Alps into the majestic mountains they are today.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,810.45 metres (15,782 ft).
