The collision of the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate formed the Alps mountain range. This collision began around 55 million years ago and is still ongoing, causing ongoing mountain building and seismic activity in the region.
The Alps were formed as a result of plate movements of the Earth's crust. Africa pushed north into Europe, and as a result the Alps formed. This is still happening, and the Alps are still rising.

When two continents collide, mountains called "fold mountains" are formed. This process is known as orogeny, and examples of such mountains include the Himalayas and the Alps. The collision forces the rocks to compress and fold, creating vast mountain ranges.
The two continents of Africa and Eurasia pushed together and folded the rocks into mountains.
Germany is located north of the Alps mountains. The northern boundary of the Alps is formed by the countries of Germany, Austria, and Slovenia.
The type of mountain that is formed by colliding continents is the upward mountain.
