One of the following mountains is not in Europe :

  • A.Pyrenees
  • B.Alps
  • C.Atlas
  • D.Carpathians

Answer: C

The Atlas mountains are not in Europe.

The Atlas range runs for about 2,500 km across north-west Africa, through Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Like the European Alpine ranges it was raised by the collision of the African and Eurasian plates, but it lies on the African side of the Mediterranean.

The Pyrenees separate France and Spain, the Alps run from France through Switzerland and Italy to Austria and Slovenia, and the Carpathians arc through Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine and Romania, so all three are European.
