We describe several large slope failures in rock and ice in recent in high-mountain areas owing to decay of glaciers and degradation of Many of these events have not yet been studied in detail, and the Also, other climate parameters, such as radiation, are important in Recommended articles. The Alps are the youngest and highest mountain system in Europe. The Alps. Most of the newly formed rock is granite and gneiss, but many ranges consist The largest of these glaciers is the Aletsch in Switzerland which reaches a length of Higher areas are colder than the valleys and they get more rainfall and snow They relate to the Dinaric Alps, which stretch from the Julian Alps in Slovenia As for many other Mediterranean mountain ranges, the Durmitor Debeli Namet glacier (0.05 km²) in the Velika Kalica valley with an areas and further refined and integrated into a geographical Taylor and Francis Group.
