This video explores the formation of the Rocky Mountains through a narrative spanning 200 million years, illustrating the powerful geological forces that shaped one of Earth’s most striking mountain ranges. It traces the movement of tectonic plates, the collision of continental masses, and the subduction of ancient oceanic crust, revealing how these processes gradually lifted the Rockies from beneath the North American continent. The presentation combines scientific insight with visual storytelling to convey the immense timescales and dynamic activity involved in mountain building.
