There are no "Alpaine" mountains.
The Apennines run up and down the Italian Peninsula.
The Alps is one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west.
Neither of these ranges are in Spain.
The Pyrenees Mountains are in northern Spain and the Sierra Nevadas are in the south.
how do mountains break apart
no
By erosion
Mountains are formed at the boundary where tectonic plates collide or move apart.
Mountains can break apart due to geological forces such as erosion, tectonic plate movements, and volcanic activity. Erosion by wind, water, and ice can wear down mountains over time, while tectonic plate movements can cause mountains to shift and fracture. Volcanic eruptions can also contribute to the breaking apart of mountains by creating new landforms and altering the landscape.
Depending on how far apart the mountains are, the low land could be called either a valley (for mountains that you can see on either side) or plains (in the case of the land between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains in The United States).
France and Spain share a common border along the Pyrrenes Mountains. The cultural and political centers of each country are a considerable distance apart despite the common border. Paris and Madrid are roughly 1000 km apart.
Some of the prominent mountains in the Basin and Range Province include the Sierra Nevada, Snake Range, Ruby Mountains, Wasatch Range, and Granite Mountains. These mountains are characterized by parallel ridges and valleys, which are a result of stretching and pulling apart of the Earth's crust.

because collision plates move them apart
Fault-block mountains
The Appalachian and the Smokey Mtns. The are relatively old and weather worn mountains (smooth) as compared to 'young' mountains like the Rockies or the Alps, which are jagged with rugged, sharp peaks.
