0:54Now PlayingMountain formation, or orogenesis, presents a geological paradox when considering erosion rates. In regions like the Canadian Rockies, massive slabs of rock are thrust thousands of feet above surrounding terrain due to continental drift, moving mere centimeters per year. However, erosion rates at high altitudes match or even exceed the rate of uplift, leading to a puzzling question: How do mountains persist if erosion continually wears them down as fast as they're formed?
