Talk:Alpide belt

Req image
-- this desperately needs a map. The article describes a belt stretching from Europe all the way to SE Asia, but the accompanying map only goes as far as Iran. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.203.59 (talk) 21:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

the map is also horrendously difficult to read 122.107.8.181 (talk) 15:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Improvement
I am going to be improving this a bit now. One issue I want to address is the distinction between Alpine and Alpide in English. Suess was pretty clear about that even in untranslated text (but there is a good English translation). Alpine is specifically the Alpine orogeny. Alpide is any orogeny in the belt. The Himalayas are NOT Alpine, but they are Alpide. However different languages use Alpin- for Alpide and Alpid- for Alpine, notably the German. While I appreciate that our German brothers and sisters have a great language, we are using English here; moreover, Suess was a German speaker and the -ide is his idea.Botteville (talk) 12:53, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
