The profile that we are going to analyze goes from the golf of Lion to the cape of S. Vicente.The line follows a NE-SW direction and crosses the following units of relief: Pyrenees, the depression of the river Ebro, the Iberian System, the southern Sub-Platean, Montes of Toledo and the depression of Guadalquivir.
The first unit of relief crossed by the line is the Pyrenees. This mountain range was form during the Tertiary era as a consequence of the Alpine Orogeny.The highest mont of the pyrenees is Aneto with 3404 m over the sea.
The next unit of relief is The Depression of Ebro. This depression was form durig the Tertiary era by the Alpine Orogeny.It is paralel from the pyrenees.
After the depression of Ebro the line crosses the Iberian System. This, has two parts or sectors, the interior and the exterior.
In the interior the main ranges are Demanda, Moncayo, Albarrazin and Serrania. On the other hand the main peaks of the exterior are Javalambre and Gudar. It (Sistema Iberico) was created in the third period.
After the Sistema Iberico, in my line goes the Sistema Central it is the highest inner range of the plateau (600-800 m),and the main mountain ranges are Somosierra, Guadarrama, Gredos, Peña de Francia and Gata.. It was form in the primary period.
In the fifth unit of relief is the Submeseta Sur ,It is the lowest range of the plateau,and the main peak is Guadalupe. It was formed in the Cenozoic.
The last relief is the Guadalquivir river basin that is between the Submeseta sur and the Sistemas Beticos. It was form inthe tertiary era during the lpine orogeny.
Add both the formation and the characteristics of each unit of relief.
