(Eifel, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland)
Low mountain range.
Although the geology is dominated by Devonian slates, sandstones and limestones, the Eifel is mainly known due to its numerous localities in wide-spread volcanic rocks of Tertiary or Quaternary age.
The Earth's crust in the Eifel area still shows volcanic and tectonic activity: the area is lifted by 1 to 2 mm each year.
