The Alps as a mountain range were formed around 30 million years ago during the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. This geological process continues to shape the mountains today, but the range's most recognizable features were established over millions of years. Thus, while the Alps are ancient, they are not measured in "years" like a human lifespan, but rather in geological time scales.
