The below crustal cross section of the Alps shows a type of mountain range root formation resulting from subduction during continental crust collision. The present height of the mountains are shown in the solid line slightly above sea level. It is important to note that this is a cross section and continues all along the length of the plate boundary. Hence even with the most generous imagination, this process does not resemble a peg or stake. | The below crustal cross section of the Alps shows a type of mountain range root formation resulting from subduction during continental crust collision.
