The Rocky Mountains Are DOOMED (Here's Why)

Video Description

The Rockies are destined to erode away to nothing over a very long time, as the constant forces of water and wind slowly wear them down. For centuries, the Rocky Mountains have stood as North America’s majestic backbone, but few know their tumultuous and explosive past. This documentary takes you on a journey through 200 million years of geological warfare, from the breakup of a supercontinent to the violent collisions of tectonic plates. We travel from the jagged, glacier-carved peaks of Canada, where ancient seabeds were crumpled and thrust miles into the sky, to the granite heart of the American Rockies, where an oceanic plate scraped like a spatula under the continent, pushing up mountains a thousand miles inland. This story doesn't end in the past. It continues today, as scientists monitor evidence that the mountains are still growing and that the forces that built them are now threatening to tear North America apart. See the evidence for yourself and understand the unstoppable power that shapes our world. Want to watch more docudramas? Click here: https://bit.ly/3ivnDhE #truestories #retold
