Aerial photograph of the Texel Mountains,Oetztal Alps,Italy. The bright marble,dark mica schist and gneiss which form the Texel Mountains today,endured a particularly harsh treatment. Under enormous heat,they were pressed into the Earth’s interior twice – before and during the Alpine orogeny. At last they were 'cooked' 50 kilometres deep in the Earth's crust at a temperature of 650 degrees Celsius. Finally they were pushed upwards over only 20 million years,which is quite fast from the point of view of geology | |
