Mountains of Cyprus

Kyrenia mountains are long, narrow mountain range about 160 km (100 miles) along the north coast of Cyprus. especially in the mountains,some limestone source marmoria.KorkeinKyparissovouno was 1024 m (3360 ft) altitude,the western part of the territory also known asPentadactylosPentadactylos is also sometimesused as a synonym for "Kyrenia mountain 'to refer to the whole region.Geology

 Mount Olympus (Cyprus)

                                                                



Olympus, the Chionistra, op 1952 meters (6404feet), is a punt van het hoogste Cyprus. HETis gelegen in the van het gebergte Troodos,Cyprus. een Britse long range radar opmomenteel draait top Mount Olympus. Deiceberg Olympus ski resort, Sun Valley en NorthFace, heeft drie T-bar, stoeltjeslift een, en zevenpunten.




The Troodos Mountains are known worldwide for its spectacular geology and the presence of samples from the ophiolite serene. Troodosslowly emerged from the sea due to the collisionof African and European tectonic plates, a process that eventually became the island ofCyprus. The slowing and eventually stopping the process left almost the rocks close to full, while the subsequent corrosion discovered the magmachamber beneath the mountain, allowing a view of the intact rock and petrified lava that formedmillions of years ago, an excellent example ofophiolite stratigraphy . Observations of the Troodos ophiolite by Ian Graham Gass and colleagues is one of the key points that led to the theory of sea floor spreading
