Explanation:

Atlas mountains :

  1. Atlas mountains are a mountain range in the Maghreb.
  2. 2. It separates the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines from the Sahara Desert.
  3. 3. It stretches around 2,500 km (1,600 mi) through Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
  4. 4. The range's highest peak is Toubkal, which is in southwestern Morocco, with an elevation of 4,167 metres (13,671 ft).
  5. 5. The Atlas mountains are primarily inhabited by Berber populations.
  6. 6. The mountains are also home to a number of animals and plants which are mostly found within Africa but some of which can be found in Europe. Many of these species are endangered and a few are already extinct.

And

Alps mountain :

  1. Alps mountains are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe .
  2. It stretch approximately 1,200 km (750 mi) across eight Alpine countries (from west to east): France, Switzerland, Monaco, Italy, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Slovenia.
  3. The Alpine arch generally extends from Nice on the western Mediterranean to Trieste on the Adriatic and Vienna at the beginning of the Pannonian basin.
  4. The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided.
  5. Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.
  6. Mont Blanc spans the French–Italian border, and at 4,809 m (15,778 ft) is the highest mountain in the Alps.
  7. The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4,000 m (13,000 ft).
