Tectonic map of southern Europe and the Middle East, showing tectonic structures of the western Alpide mountain belt. The Alpine orogeny or Alpide orogeny [dubious – discuss] is an orogenic phase in the Late Mesozoic [1] (Eoalpine) and the current Cenozoic that has formed the mountain ranges of the Alpide belt.

The second important belt, the Alpide, extends from Java to Sumatra through the Himalayas, the Mediterranean, and out into the Atlantic. This belt accounts for about 17 percent of the world's largest earthquakes. C. The third prominent belt follows the submerged mid-Atlantic Ridge. The remaining shocks are scattered in various areas of the world.
