Hello. This is my new page.
Tatra Mountains are young mountains, because they arised in tertiary (65-1,8 mln years ago), during alpine orogeny, when Alps, Pyrenees, Apennines, Himalayas and Caucasus have been created.
But the Tatras main rock body arised much earlier, in mesozoic (250-100 mln years ago). It’s interesting, that the majority of rocks that mountains are now made of, where created in totally different region.
High Tatras – from Liliowe Pass to Przełęcz pod Kopą, made of granitoids. Their highest peak is Gerlach (2655 m.a.s.l.) in Slovakia and Rysy (2499 m.a.s.l.) in Poland.
