In this video on example of Southern Alps of NZ I continue to talk about mountain formation. We will look closely how subduction processes brought together material from far to build Southern Alps, stage 1 - Rangitata orogeny.
This video is educational, I speak with no notes and deliberately use simple language. My aim is here to make Science available for everyone.
