Geography
Geological feature
Pyrenees is made of the strata of the times when it is older than Alps geologically. It is thought that a model of Pyrenees was formed by the stratum where I deposit in the relatively shallow place of the bottom of the sea from the Paleozoic era to the Mesozoic, and there was it having woken up an upheaval and a fold under the influence of pressure with the continental drift in in particular in Eocene epoch in the Paleogene. I receive influence such as the erosion with the rain or the running water, and it is said that it became the shape of current Pyrenees afterwards. The limestone is seen in the in western penumbra of the mountain range in this way although the main rock constituting mountains of enacted current Pyrenees body is granite.
Geographical features
Pyrenees ranges for approximately 430km in the neighborhood of root of the Iberian Peninsula. It is long in the East-West directions, and the width is approximately 100km of the thing which depends on a definition. For physical geography, I can divide Pyrenees into western (the Atlantic side) central part, three parts called the eastern part (the Mediterranean Sea side). I make a part of the Alps Himalayas orogenic zone to Southeast Asia through west Asia and Southern Asia from the underground shore.
It is said that the westernmost tip of Pyrenees is la ルーヌ peak of 905m above sea level. The western part of Pyrenees contacts with the department of the basque mountain range belonging to the Cantabrian Mountains at the east end and gradually increases altitude as I leave for the east from Bay of Biscay.
In the central part, there are many mountains of the 2,000m - 3,000m grade whereas the Pyrenees central part lengthens towards Alan Valley from the disadvantageous Porto Pass (), and the western part of Pyrenees is a gentle mountainous district of the 1,000m grade. Around 100km is the steepest and includes a peak such as Mt. アネト (3,404m) of the mountain range highest peak, ポセッツ peak (3,375m) of the second place, mon Perdue (3,355m) of the third place in the west from the Principality of Andorra. A mountain of the 3,000m grade lies scattered more than 10 peaks in the central part, and many skiing areas are open at the foot of a mountain.
The altitude of the peak resembles closely in the eastern part of Pyrenees, and a mountain of the 2,000m grade is seen from the Mediterranean Sea coast to the place of approximately 50km. A mountain range approaches, and, in the western part of Pyrenees, in the eastern part of Pyrenees, altitude falls into the Mediterranean Sea coast at a stretch in Arbela mountainous district of the east end region whereas there is comparative distance from the Atlantic coast to the mountain range.
