Use stream of consciousness to answer the following. Context: The Alps (/ ælps /; French: Alpes ( alp); German: Alpen (ˈalpn̩); Italian: Alpi (ˈalpi); Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe (ˈáːlpɛ) ) are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) across eight Alpine countries (from west to east): France, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Slovenia. The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided. Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Mont Blanc spans the French -- Italian border, and at 4,810 m (15,781 ft) is the highest mountain in the Alps. The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4000 metres (just over 13,000 feet).\n\nQuestion: where are the alps on the world map?
