1. Looking for an English essay about the Alps
The Alps is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy , Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high), or a Celtic word.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc at 4810 m on the French-Italian border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence. 2. Looking for an English essay about the Alps

The Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately 1,200 kilometres across eight Alpine countries: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Slovenia, and Switzerland. 4.SOS: I would like some English information about the Alps, thank you
The Alps (Alpi in Italian) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria, Italy and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high), or a Celtic word. The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc at 4810 m on the French-Italian border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.Geography Main article: Geography of the Alps [edit] Subdivision the Alps with the Borders of the Countries The Italian Alps - Taken from an airplaneThe Alps are generally divided into Western Alps and Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are located in Italy, France and Switzerland, the Eastern Alps in Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland. The highest peak of the Western Alps is Mont Blanc, 4810 m. The highest peak in the Eastern Alps is Piz Bernina, 4052 meters. The Eastern Alps are commonly subdivided according to the different geological composition of the more central parts of the Alps and the groups at its northern and southern fringes: Northern Limestone Alps, Central Eastern Alps and Southern Limestone Alps. The border between the Central Eastern Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the Periadriatic Seam. The Northern Limestone Alps are separated from the Central Eastern Alps by the Grauwacken Zone.The Western Alps are commonly subdivided into the following:Ligurian Alps Maritime Alps Cottian Alps Dauphiné Alps Graian Alps Pennine Alps Bernese Alps Lepontine Alps Glarus Alps North-Eastern Swiss Alps Series of lower mountain ranges run parallel to the main chains of the Alps, including the French Prealps.[edit] Main chains Main article: Main chain of the Alps The European Alps from space in May 2002.The "main chain of the Alps" follows the watershed from the Mediterranean Sea to the Wienerwald, passing over many of the highest and most famous peaks in the Alps. From the Colle di Cadibona to Col de Tende it runs westwards, before turning to the north-west and then, near the Colle della Maddalena, to the north. Upon reaching the Swiss border, the line of the main chain heads approximately east-north-east, a heading it follows until its end near Vienna.[edit] Principal passes Main article: Principal passes of the Alps The Alps do not form an impassable barrier; they have been traversed for war and commerce, and later by pilgrims, students and tourists. Crossing places by road, train or foot are called passes, these are depressions in the mountains to which a valley leads from the plains and hilly pre-mountainous zones.[edit] Climate Main article: Climate of the Alps The climate of the Alps is the climate, or average weather conditions over a long time, of the central Alpine region of Europe. As we rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere, the temperature decreases. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.[edit] Geology Main article: Geology of the Alps The Alps arose as a result of the pressure exerted on sediments of the Tethys Ocean basin as its Mesozoic and early Cenozoic strata were pushed against the stable Eurasian landmass by the northward-moving African landmass. Most of this occurred during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs. The pressure formed great recumbent folds, or nappes, that rose out of what had become the Tethys Sea and pushed northward, often breaking and sliding one over the other to form gigantic thrust faults. Crystalline rocks, which are exposed in the higher central regions, are the rocks forming Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and high peaks in the Pennine Alps and Hohe Tauern.The landscape seen today is mostly formed by glaciation during the past two million years. At least five ice ages have done much to remodel the region, scooping out the lakes and rounding off the limestone hills along the northern border. Glaciers have been retreating during the past 10,000 years , leaving large granite boulders scattered in the forests in the region. As the last ice age ended, it is believed that the climate changed so rapidly that the glaciers retreated. 5. Thank you for Alexander Pope's Poetry
Pope Bar
"Half Knowledge"
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing,
Bieri Yaquan water cannot be tasted but can be drank freely.
A few superficial drinks will make you dizzy.
Drinking freely will make you sober.
At first glance, Muse's teachings made his thoughts surge.
The young man, who didn't know the heights of the world, aimed at the peak of art.
However, the limitations of the mind inevitably lead to short-sightedness.
We cannot see that the infinite scenery is still ahead.
The learned people looked ahead and were astonished,
The new scenes of distant science were endless.
I was very excited when I saw the majestic Alps for the first time.
I wanted to climb into the blue sky and climb over the valleys.
The permanent snow underfoot is a thing of the past.
The white clouds and mountain peaks in front of us seem to be the final sprint.
But I can’t help but tremble when I climb this pass and look around.
The long journey and more arduous labor are still to come.
Our wandering eyes are tired of seeing the boundless scene.
There are peaks beyond the peaks, and the Alps stand above the Alps.
There are also "The Iliad", "The Epic of Fools"
"The Seizing of Hair", "The Fool's Chronicle", <Criticism", "Windsor Grove", " "The Tribulation of Curly Hair" etc. 6. Looking for English short essays about the Alps

My Paste Special The Alps (German: Alpen; French: Alpes; Italian: Alpi; Slovenian: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high), or a Celtic word. The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc at 4,808 m on the French-Italian border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland. The highest peak of the Western Alps is Mont Blanc, 4808 m. The highest peak in the Eastern Alps is Piz Bernina, 4052 meters. The Eastern Alps are commonly subdivided according to the different lithology (rock composition) of the more central parts of the Alps and the groups at its northern and southern fringes:Flysch zone (from the Wienerwald to Bregenzerwald). Geographically, the Jura mountains do not belong to the Alps; geologically, however, they do. Northern Limestone Alps, peaks up to 3000 m Central Eastern Alps ( Austria, Switzerland), peaks up to 4050 m Southern Limestone Alps. The border between the Central Alps and the Southern Limestone Alps is the Periadriatic Seam. The Northern Limestone Alps are separated from the Central Eastern Alps by the Grauwacken Zone.
