Pohorje Transmitter
The Pohorje Transmitter (also known as ''Maribor 1'') is a facility for radio and TV-broadcasting in the Pohorje Mountains west of Maribor, northeastern Slovenia, above sea level. It uses a tall lattice tower. Although this tower is designed as free-standing, it is guyed at two levels in six directions. This extensive additional guying is unusual, especially considering that the tower is not very tall and that it is situated in a forest area. Radiated programmes Analogue radio (FM) Digital radio (DAB+) Pohorje makes up a single-frequency network (SFN) with 6 other transmitters (Krim, Krvavec, Nanos, Plešivec, Tinjan and Trdinov vrh). In summer 2016 the SFN covered 89% of highways and 67% of households for indoor reception with a portable receiver. Programs use HE-AAC v2 audiocodec. There are 2 reports of a successful long-distance reception of the multiplex from this transmitter in Slovakia in Skalica and near Topoľčany, 290 km away. Digital television (DV ...

The distinction from the Central Alps, where the higher peaks are located, is based on differences in geological composition. The Southern Limestone Alps extend from the Sobretta- Gavia range in Lombardy in the west to the Pohorje in Slovenia in the east.

Central Alps
The Alps form a large mountain range dominating Central Europe, including parts of Italy, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Slovenia, Germany and possibly Hungary (if one includes the Kőszeg Mountains). This article describes the delimitation of the Alps as a whole and of subdivisions of the range, follows the course of the main chain of the Alps and discusses the lakes and glaciers found in the region. Boundaries In some areas, such as the edge of the Po Basin, the edge of the Alps is unambiguous, but where the Alps border on other mountainous or hilly regions, the border may be harder to place. These neighbouring ranges include the Apennines, the Massif Central, the Jura, the Black Forest, the Bohemian Forest, the Carpathians, and the mountains of the Balkan Peninsula. The boundary between the Apennines and the Alps is usually taken to be the Colle di Cadibona, at 435 m above sea level, above Savona on the Italian coast. The Rhône forms a clear boundary b ...

Metamorphic Rock
Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock to new types of rock in a process called metamorphism. The original rock (protolith) is subjected to temperatures greater than and, often, elevated pressure of or more, causing profound physical or chemical changes. During this process, the rock remains mostly in the solid state, but gradually recrystallizes to a new texture or mineral composition. The protolith may be an igneous, sedimentary, or existing metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks make up a large part of the Earth's crust and form 12% of the Earth's land surface. They are classified by their protolith, their chemical and mineral makeup, and their texture. They may be formed simply by being deeply buried beneath the Earth's surface, where they are subject to high temperatures and the great pressure of the rock layers above. They can also form from tectonic processes such as continental collisions, which cause horizontal pressure, friction, and distorti ...
