DENALI MOUNTAIN FORMATION
How do mountains form? We find out how tectonic plates move beneath the surface of the earth to form mountain ranges at Denali National Park. sParksAdventure goes beyond the beauty to look at the science and history behind some amazing National Parks. In this episode we look at mountain formation. Denali means "the tall one" and we learn how the mountain formed in an interview with Dr. Nathan Niemi of the University of Michigan.
What forces drive these peaks skyward - learn about Block, Fold, Volcanic and Slip Fault Mountains as we take a trip to Denali National Park.
Hosted by Kellum Dean, sParksAdventure is part of the Travelparkourist educational video series - filmed on location around the world we look at the geology, ecology and history of some amazing National Parks.
