The Himilayas
Storyboard Text
- Why is the Himalayan mountain range unique on Earth?
- 100,000 years ago 10,000 years ago 1,000 years ago 100 years ago Today
- What is inside the earth?
- What happens inside the earth that created the Himalayan mountain range?
- Not only is it the tallest mountain range in the world (above sea level that is), it has maintained it's enormous height for thousands of years by hitting the jackpot as far as things such as erosion and glaciers go, barely making a dent in it's size.
- What is the source of energy that powers all these processes?
- The core, mantle, tectonic plates, magma, rock. That’s the main gist at least, there’s more I’m sure, I just can’t quite put it into words.
- What type of time frame would it take for Mt Everest to become the height it is today?
- The Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates converged to form the Himalayan mountains and Mount Everest.
- If the energy that drives plate tectonic motion were no longer present, what would Himalayan Mountains look like in the future?
- The main source of energy that powers processes such as tectonic plates is the Earth's inner heat.
- Due to the converging of the plates, Mt. Everest grew in height very quickly. Today, with the tectonic activity, I think it would take at least a few hundred to thousand years to reach its size today. Or maybe not, I honestly don't know.
- If the energy that drives plate tectonic motion was no longer present, the Himalayan mountains would decrease in size over time. Without the tectonic activity, the mountains cannot maintain their size.
