The propulsions of this earth's crust movement are slowly circulating convection streams in lower, plastically layers of the earth's mantle. The heavier ocean ground is pulled in the depth, whilst the lighter continental massif float with an average speed of 2 cm per year and were upheaved to bedrocks along the seam line. Differently the seam lines between two broken continental massifs: now the lava current raise from the depth nearly up to the earth or ocean crust. Long ridges traced back by volcanism activities are the result (Mid-Atlantic ridge). Caused by the collision between the African and the Eurasian plate, the ground of the Tethys – the old Mediterranean basin – has been pressed together and resulted in overlays, rifts, uplifts and convolution (fig. 3). 7 The origin of the Alps (and the entire mountain range from the High Atlas over the Himalaya to New Zealand)
