Complex mountain ranges are formed as Earth's tectonic plates smash (very slowly) into each other: some of the planet's crust is pushed down below the surface, as other parts are thrust up to higher elevations.
In the mountains of Calabria in southern Italy, new field research suggests that deeper forces in Earth's mantle are responsible for driving some of the uplift we see on the surface, in addition to tectonic plate activity.
This part of the world is particularly suitable for a study like this because it's still geologically active, offering clues in the current landscape as to its past.and the record of past sea levels left behind in the rock, to go further back in time than previous methods.
