How on Earth do mountains form? ⛰️ Using our mountain building experiment, BGS’ Teddy Reeves demonstrates how tectonic plates fold, fault and uplift rock to create towering peaks. Watch the full experiment: https://youtu.be/mBduxHPCcfI | British Geological Survey

Follow @physics_unplugged | video description 👇 Mountains are formed through geological processes that occur over millions of years, primarily due to the movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates. One of the most common ways mountains form is through the collision of tectonic plates, which creates fold mountains. When two continental plates push against each other, the land between them is forced upward, forming towering mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Another process is the formation of faul
