Alps

The Alps, Urals, and Appalachians are examples of fold mountains, which form due to tectonic plate movement and the folding of rock layers over time.

The Alps have proven to be a formidable barrier across much of Europe. They run about 750 miles and many of the peaks are well over 13,000 feet high. Some peaks are covered with snow all year, and even the passes are cold and snowy much of the time. This effectively stops both people and animals from attempting to cross these mountains.

Old fold mountains are the mountains which were formed 50-60 million years ago.

Young fold mountains are the ones formed comparatively new (30-40 million years ago). - answer by Subhrajyoti Sen

The Atlas Mountains are located in North Africa, spanning across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.

Wisdom is considered higher than intellectuality because wisdom encompasses not only knowledge and intelligence but also involves judgment, experience, and empathy in applying that knowledge effectively in life. Wisdom is about understanding the deeper meaning of things and making ethical decisions, whereas intellectuality is often focused more on reasoning and analyzing information. Wisdom is therefore seen as a more holistic and valuable quality that goes beyond just being smart.

In the Alps, people speak different languages based on the country they are in. Common languages spoken include German in Austria and parts of Switzerland, French in parts of Switzerland and France, Italian in parts of Italy, and Romansh in some areas of Switzerland.

No one would ever know because there are only people on the mountain during the climbing season, the other nine months no one is there and there could be hundreds of avalanches that are never witnessed.

It is not possible to accurately determine which European country has the most recorded paedophiles as cases may be underreported, and data can vary depending on legal definitions and reporting practices. However, countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France have been known to have significant cases of child sexual abuse and paedophilia.

Durham Cathedral receives around 750,000 visitors annually.

Ismail Samani in Tajikistan, Illimani in Bolivia and Illampu in Bolivia are all major mountains over 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) in height.

It has been much debated about why Oetzi was in the Alps when he died. The earliest theory is that he died during a winter storm. A more recent theory is that he was killed as part of a ritual sacrifice.

The Alps north of Rome acted as a natural barrier, providing protection from invasions and fostering a sense of security for Roman civilization. This allowed Rome to focus on internal development and expansion rather than constant defense. Additionally, the trade routes through the Alps linked Rome to northern Europe, facilitating economic growth and cultural exchange.

Otzi the Iceman was found in 1991. Based on the axe found with the mummy, he dated it to about 4000 years old. Otzi was about 45 years old, stood about 5'5" and weighed about 110 pounds. His last meal included Ibex meat and wheat grains. Copper and arsenic in his hair led to a supposition that he had previously worked in copper smelting. Later, he was probably a shepherd in the mountains, based on wear of his tibia, femur and pelvis. His clothing and tools were intact, leading to conclusions about his lifestyle and status. DNA showed he is closely related to southern europeans, including 19 present day Tyrolean men. One paper states that he had Neanderthal DNA.

otzi was a stone age hunter, he had a strong bow and and a bronze axe. he went into the alps (the otezal alps)most likely to either hunt or looking for his tribe he belonged to.

Mesoamericans and North Europeans had similar social hierarchies and political structures in the Dark Ages (Mesoamerica's Classic period!) and in fact life at the bottom or top of the heap was rather similar in both societies, except that at this stage, northern Europe had fairly small urban centres, whereas Mesoamerica had some very large cities - Teotihuacan, Tikal... Moreover, Mesoamerican cities were well-organized in terms of urban planning, sanitation, civic engineering etc. In both cultures, there were forms of writing and massive religious monuments, and in both cases literacy was mostly the realm of the elite. Diet in urban Mesoamerica was probably better than north Europe, due to the tropic environment and the cultivation of a vast range of fruits, vegetables and grains even within the cities (particularly in the Mayan region).

Konrad Spindler concluded that the frozen man found in the Alps, known as Ötzi, lived during the Copper Age around 3,300 BCE. He also determined that Ötzi died from an arrow wound and that he likely suffered from health issues such as arthritis and heart disease. Additionally, Spindler's analysis of Ötzi's belongings revealed insights into his clothing, tools, and lifestyle.

Konrad Spindler was an archaeologist who studied the frozen man found in the Alps, known as Ötzi. He concluded that Ötzi lived around 3,300 BCE, was about 45 years old, and died from an arrow wound. Spindler's examination also revealed Ötzi's diet, health, and lifestyle, providing valuable insights into prehistoric times.

Ötzi, also known as the Iceman, was found in the Ötztal Alps on the border between Italy and Austria, at an altitude of around 3,210 meters (10,530 feet). While not at the very peak of the mountain, he was discovered in a isolated and high-altitude location.

Mount Etna stands at about 3,329 meters (10,922 feet) above sea level. It has a base circumference of roughly 140 kilometers (87 miles).

The Southern Alps mountain range in New Zealand is estimated to be around five million years old. This range was formed through the collision of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, resulting in the uplift of the mountains.

The three main languages spoken in the Alps Mountain region are German, French, and Italian. These languages are commonly spoken in countries like Switzerland, France, Italy, and Austria that are located in the Alpine region.

The name "Alps" is believed to have originated from the Latin word "albus," which means "white." This likely refers to the snow-capped peaks of the mountains.

The Alps influenced the linguistic diversity in Switzerland by creating natural barriers that isolated different communities, leading to the development of distinct languages like German, French, Italian, and Romansh. This geographical separation resulted in the coexistence of multiple official languages in Switzerland today.

The Parker-Hale GR 1941 rifle was a British-made rifle based on the Lee-Enfield design. It was primarily used during World War II by British and Commonwealth forces. The rifle was known for its accuracy and reliability, and it saw service in various campaigns during the war.

The Alps mountain range has been present for tens of millions of years. The formation of the Alps began during the Tertiary period, around 65 million years ago, through the collision of the Eurasian and African tectonic plates. Over millions of years, the mountains have undergone various geological processes, including uplift and erosion, to reach their current state.
