This model suggests that mountain building involves three stages: (1) accumulation of sediments, (2) an orogenic period of rock deformation and crustal uplift, and (3) a period of crustal uplift caused by isostatic rebound and block-faulting. From Wordnik.com. [Mountain] Reference
From the geological point of view, the Crete mountain ranges belong to the Alpine orogenic system, characterized by the predominance of Mesozoic and Tertiary sedimentary rocks such as crystalline limestone, marl, sandstone, and conglomerates. From Wordnik.com. [Crete Mediterranean forests] Reference
This quaternary plain was formed by the post-orogenic clastic depositing of sediment, derived from adjacent tectonic uplifts deposited in the basin of the lower Magdalena River that formed a platform of peat intercalated with sand and clay beds.
