Thank you for supporting the creative commons movement !! The winter Alps are the highest mountains in the interior of Europe. It extends in a 1200 km long and between 150 and 250 Kilometer wide arc from the Ligurian Sea to the Pannonian Basin. The entire Alpine region occupies an area of about 200,000 square kilometers. It extends about 750 km from west to east and about 400 km from south to north and from the Rhone Valley, the Central Plateau, the upper reaches of the Danube, the Little Hungarian Plain, the Po Valley and the Gulf of Genoa bounds. The peak heights in the western massifs are usually 3000-4300 meters above sea level, in the eastern winter Alps, the mountains are a little lower. The highest peak in the winter Alps is Mont Blanc at 4810 meters. 128 mountains in the Alps are four thousand, a number of more or less mountains glaciated. The Alps are divided into numerous mountain ranges and chains. An winter automobile, short car (also cars, early motor cars ), is a traditional multi-track motor vehicle that a motor is driven and for the transport of persons ( car and bus ) and cargo ( truck ) is used. However, especially vehicles Colloquially as car called, whose design is intended primarily to carry passengers and a car driver's license are permitted. The global stock of winter vehicles is continuously increasing and in 2010 was at about 1.015 billion winter automobiles. 2011 about 80 million automobiles were built worldwide. In Germany, about 51.7 million motor vehicles were registered in 2012, of which nearly 43 million cars. A winter highway is a winter highway that only the high-speed traffic and the long-distance freight traffic with motor vehicles used. It consists normally of two carriageways, each with multiple lanes. German motorways are provided with at least two lanes in each direction road for some time. As a rule, is an additional side stripes (also hard shoulder or hard shoulder called) available. In modern winter highways that are roadways by a median strip, in which passive safety devices such as steel protection planks or concrete barrier walls are built separately. The roadway is currently carried out by fixing concrete - or blacktop. Unlike other categories of road winter highways always have height-free nodes. Thus, the transition from a winter highway to another by bridges and carried underpasses ( motorway junction or in Austria "nodes") or branches ( motorway junction, in Switzerland "branching"), transitions into secondary road network (motorways) connection points called. Depending on how the track is spoken in some cases of ring roads or urban winter highways. Tunnels and bridges over the winter highways as well as most road bridges over the winter highways are parts of the winter highways. The term frost (German. derivation of freeze ) refers to the occurrence of temperatures below 0 ° C ( freezing point of water ), especially in the environment, which are mainly affected creatures, the water and the soil. The permafrost of winter leads to winter rest of nature. Snow consists of fine ice crystals and is the most common form of solid precipitation. Snow occurs when the clouds finest droplets supercooled water on crystallization nuclei accumulate. The different stem forms of snow crystals depends on the temperature from - at lower temperatures. They have an amazingly large variety of shapes. About 5000 different snow crystals have been of Wilson A. Bentley Photographs from 1885. The greatest complexity of the snow crystals is reflected in high humidity, as this also allows more intricate structures growing Ice roads are roads that lead over frozen lakes, rivers or marine waters. In countries where the climatic conditions allow it, such as Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Canada, the United States or Russia, ice roads are set up in the winter when weather conditions. This can cause over frozen waters and thus Ferry Routes replace. So the Finnish Road Administration oriented approximately in the winter regularly a seven-kilometer-long official ice road over the Pielinen Lake, separated by the distance between them Lieksa and Koli more than halved. The authorities furnished ice roads are public roads on which almost always special traffic rules apply. For security reasons, a maximum weight for the passing vehicles. Also, the speed limit because beyond which caused by the vehicles undulations can under the ice lead to dangerous cracks in the ice. Thank you for supporting the creative commons movement !!
