  • thnx

  • Mountains are future land reserves believe it or not...

  • educated video

  • interesting video! thx

  • @GeoUG i think they are formed by many many different actions on the earths crust,

    i.e. meteors, volcanoes, tsunamis, magnetic flips solar flips.ect ect ect...maybe they are not even real....maybe nothing is real...

  • @lr1964 The Cascade Mountains are volcanos and are built up by erruptions... ect. I was just saying that this vid is not totaly true, the collision results in a thickening of plates that results in a raised area. The mountains are uplifted as the raised area is erroded and becomes lighter.

  • @GeoUG Some mountains, for example the Cascade Mountains in the Pacific North West, are formed by subduction.

  • Wrong... Errosion causes mountains after the crust is thickened. There not scrunched up plates.

  • ok?

  • ze earth expanded.
