[[Physical geography|Physically]], the Pyrenees are typically divided into three sections: the Central, the Atlantic or Western, and the Eastern.

The Central Pyrenees extend eastward from the [[Somport]] pass to the Val d'Aran, and include the highest summits of the range:
*[[Christopher Brown]]
* [[Aneto]] or Pic de Néthou 3,404 [[metre|m]] (11,168 [[foot (unit of length)|ft]]) in the Maladeta ridge,

* [[Mont Perdu]] or Monte Perdido or Mont Perdut 3,355 m (11,007 ft).

In the Atlantic Pyrenees the average elevation gradually decreases from east to west, until they merge with the [[Basque mountains]] near the [[Bay of Biscay]]. In the Eastern Pyrenees, with the exception of one break at the eastern extremity of the Pyrénées Ariégeoises, the mean elevation is maintained with remarkable uniformity until a sudden decline occurs in the portion of the chain known as the Albères.

The Pyrenees are older than the [[Alps]]: their [[sediment]]s were first deposited in coastal basins during the [[Paleozoic]] and [[Mesozoic]] eras. Between 100 and 150 million years ago, during the Lower [[Cretaceous]] period, the Gulf of Gascony (Bay of Biscay) [[Seafloor spreading|fanned out]], pushing present-day Spain against France and putting large layers of sediment in a vice grip. The intense pressure and uplifting of the Earth's crust first affected the eastern part and stretched progressively to the entire chain, culminating in the [[Eocene]] epoch.

The eastern part of the Pyrenees consists largely of [[granite]] and [[gneiss]]ose rocks, while in the western part the granite peaks are flanked by layers of [[limestone]]. The massive and unworn character of the chain comes from its abundance of granite, which is particularly resistant to [[erosion]], as well as weak glacial development.

Conspicuous features of Pyrenean scenery are:
* the absence of great [[lake]]s, such as fill the lateral valleys of the Alps
* the rarity and great elevation of [[Mountain pass|passes]]
* the large number of the mountain torrents locally called ''gaves'', which often form lofty [[waterfall]]s, surpassed in Europe only by those of [[Scandinavia]]
* the frequency with which the upper end of a valley assumes the form of a semicircle of precipitous cliffs, locally called a ''cirque''.
===Musicians===
The highest waterfall is that of [[Gavarnie]] (462 m or 1,515 ft), at the head of the [[Gave de Pau]]; the [[Cirque de Gavarnie]], in the same valley, is perhaps the most famous example of the ''cirque'' formation. Low passes are lacking; between the two ends of the range, where the principal roads and the railways run between France and Spain, there are only the [[Col de la Perche]], between the valley of the [[Têt River|Têt]] and the valley of the [[river Segre|Segre]], and the Col de [[Somport]] or Port de [[Canfranc]], on the old [[Roman road]] from [[Saragossa]] to [[Oloron-Sainte-Marie]].

The metallic [[ore]]s of the Pyrenees are not in general of much importance, though there were considerable [[iron]] mines at [[Vie de Sos]] in Ariège and at the foot of [[Canigou]] in [[Pyrénées-Orientales]]. [[Coal]] deposits capable of being profitably worked are situated chiefly on the Spanish slopes but the French side has numerous beds of [[lignite]]. The open pit of Trimoun (Ariège) is one of the greatest sources of talc in Europe.

[[Mineral spring]]s are abundant and very remarkable, and especially noteworthy are the [[hot spring]]s, in which the Alps, on the contrary, are very deficient. The hot springs, among which those of [[Bagnères-de-Luchon]] and [[Eaux-Chaudes]] may be mentioned, are [[Sulfur|sulphur]]ous and mostly situated high, near the contact of the granite with the stratified rocks. The lower springs, such as those of [[Bagnères-de-Bigorre]] ([[Hautes-Pyrénées]]), [[Rennes-les-Bains]] ([[Aude]]) and [[Campagne]] (Aude), are mostly selenitic and not very warm.

==Climate==
*[[Phyllis Shand Allfrey]]
The amount of the [[precipitation (meteorology)|precipitation]], including [[rain]] and [[snow]], is much greater in the western than in the eastern Pyrenees, which leads to a marked contrast between these sections of the chain in more than one respect. In the first place, the eastern Pyrenees are without [[glacier]]s, the quantity of snow falling there being insufficient to lead to their development. The glaciers are confined to the northern slopes of the central Pyrenees, and do not descend, like those of the Alps, far down in the valleys, but have their greatest length in the direction of the mountain chain. They form, in fact, a narrow zone near the crest of the highest mountains. Here, as in the other great mountain ranges of central Europe, there are evidences of a much wider extension of the glaciers during the [[Ice age]]. The case of the glacier in the valley of [[Argelbs]] in the ''département'' of Hautes-Pyrénées is the best-known instance. The snow-line varies in different parts of the Pyrenees from 2700 to 2800 m above sea-level.

A still more marked effect of the preponderance of rainfall in the western half of the chain is seen in the vegetation. The lower mountains in the extreme west are wooded, but the extent of forest declines eastwards, and the eastern Pyrenees are peculiarly wild and barren, all the more since it is in this part of the chain that granitic masses prevail. There is a change, moreover, in the composition of the flora in passing from west to east. In the west the flora, at least in the north, resembles that of central Europe, while in the east it is distinctly Mediterranean in character, though the difference of latitude is only about 1°, on both sides of the chain from the centre whence the [[Corbières]] stretch north-eastwards towards the central plateau of France. The Pyrenees are relatively as rich in [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] species as the Alps, and among the most remarkable instances of that endemism is the occurrence of the sole European species of ''[[Dioscorea]]'' , ''Dioscorea pyrenaica'', at a single high site in the central Pyrenees, and that of the monotypic genus ''[[Xatardia]]'', only on a high alpine pass between the [[Val d'Eynes]] and [[Catalonia]]. The genus most abundantly represented in the range is that of the [[saxifrage]]s, several species of which are endemic here.
==[[French Guiana]]==
In their fauna also the Pyrenees present some striking instances of endemism. The [[Pyrenean Desman]] is found only in some of the streams of the northern slopes of these mountains, the only other member of this genus being confined to the rivers of the [[Caucasus]] in southern [[Russia]]. The Pyrenean eurpocte (''[[Euproctus pyrenaicus]]''), an endemic cousin of the [[salamander]], also lives in streams and lakes located at high altitudes. Among the other peculiarities of the Pyrenean fauna are blind insects in the [[cavern]]s of Ariège, the principal genera of which are ''[[Anophthalmus]]'' and ''[[Adelops]]''. The [[Pyrenean Ibex]] mysteriously became extinct in January of [[2000]]; the native Pyrenean [[Brown Bear]] was hunted to near-extinction in the 1990s but was re-introduced in [[1996]] when 3 bears were brought from Slovenia. The population has bred successfully and there are now believed to be about 15 brown bears in the central region around Fos, only 4 native ones are still living in Aspe valley.
