plate tectonics are responsible for all mountain formations on the planet! isn't that amazing?
if we didn't have tectonic shift, we'd all be on one land mass, probably really smooshed together. and we wouldn't have the grand canyon, or mt. everest, or the tibetan plateau. and maria von trapp would never have been able to swing her arms around, singing about hills. not that the tv special "how the earth was made" pinpoints this fact, but still.
i love the history channel so much.
