Mount Senge is the highest mountain of Anteria, having almost 9 thousand meters in height. It is located on the Prei Meas-Zhousheng-Monte Blanco border tripoint.
History
The mountain was formed in the Thuadian orogeny, in which the Laurentine plate and Thuadian plate underwent a continental collision, which formed a mountain range spanning from present-day Tiskaiya across Qazhshava, Gadorien, Zhousheng and Prei Meas into the present-day Azureden.
Currently, the mountain lays on a convergent boundary between those two plates, having a moderate risk of earthquakes (latest major (>6.0 ML) earthquake happened in 1998 (7.1 ML). The mountain crosses the Death zone (A zone where a long-time survival without oxygen tanks is impossible).
