Mountain |
Take students to the very top of the world with this monumental journey of discovery!
Jagged peaks, now folded and twisted, were once flat layers on the seabed, towering domes of granite that once were pools of molten rock buried deep underground, cast shadows over the land around them. These are just two of the very visible reminders that our planet is constantly, and dramatically, changing.
This wonderful program explores mountains: their place in legend and theology, how they form and the forces that slowly but inevitably bring them crumbling down, the diversity of plant and animal life that calls them home and how these organisms have adapted to life there.
Covers the treacherous and unpredictable nature of mountain weather, how mountains are measured, the highest mountain in the world, and the conquest of Mt. Everest. Also ponders the existence of the Yeti and wonders what other secrets may be hidden behind the cloak of the mountains. 35 minutes.
