Explanation:
Atlas mountains :
- Atlas mountains are a mountain range in the Maghreb.
- 2. It separates the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines from the Sahara Desert.
- 3. It stretches around 2,500 km (1,600 mi) through Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
- 4. The range's highest peak is Toubkal, which is in southwestern Morocco, with an elevation of 4,167 metres (13,671 ft).
- 5. The Atlas mountains are primarily inhabited by Berber populations.
- 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 :
- Alps mountains are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe .
- 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.
- 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.
- The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided.
- 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.
- Mont Blanc spans the French–Italian border, and at 4,809 m (15,778 ft) is the highest mountain in the Alps.
- The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4,000 m (13,000 ft).
