Mountains

For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review of mountain building -- the various types found around the planet, their causes, and their shapes. Includes a discussion of fault-block mountains, fold-and-thrust mountains, domes, erosional remnants, and volcanic mountains.

Pure pleasure watching your tutorials,Katryn! Wish I had classes by someone like you when I studied geology and geomorphology 25 years ago...
