YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Mountain building is thought to be a very long, slow process. A few centimeters per year from continental drift.

But there are times when mountain building can be extremely fast.

Study erosion on a continental scale. Erosional rates work out to a few centimeters per year or more.

As the mass forming the mountain uplifts... erosional effects increase considerably.

The balance between uplift and erosion suggests something more dynamic than gradual continental drift alone.
