The tectonic plate that pushes against the Eurasian Plate to form the Alps is the African Plate. As the African Plate moves northward, it collides with the Eurasian Plate, resulting in the uplift and formation of mountain ranges like the Alps. This tectonic activity is part of the larger process of continental collision and mountain building known as orogeny.
