How Did Ancient Rifting Form The Transantarctic Mountains? - Polar Regions Uncovered

Описание: How Did Ancient Rifting Form The Transantarctic Mountains? Have you ever wondered how some of the world's most fascinating mountain ranges form deep beneath the Earth's surface? In this video, we explore the ancient geological processes that created the Transantarctic Mountains. We'll explain how Earth's crust can stretch and pull apart over millions of years, leading to the formation of vast mountain ranges in polar regions. You'll learn about the role of rifting during the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana and how this process has shaped Antarctica's landscape. We’ll discuss how crustal thinning, faulting, and volcanic activity contributed to the uplift of these mountains, and how ongoing geological activity continues to influence the region today. Whether you're interested in geology, Earth's history, or polar landscapes, this video provides a clear overview of how tectonic forces have played a key role in shaping Antarctica. Join us as we uncover the story behind one of the most unique mountain ranges on our planet, and discover how ancient forces still impact the icy continent.
