How the Appalachian Mountains Were Formed
Did you know that 500 million years ago, much of what is now the eastern United States was covered by ocean? The Appalachian Mountains didn't exist yet! A process, known as the Appalachian Orogeny, helped shape the landscape we know today.
Join us November 17 as Ronald R. Foshee, Certified Petroleum Geologist, takes us back in time to explore how continents collided, mountains rose, and Earth's landscape was transformed. A fascinating look at the story hidden in the rocks beneath our feet!
And there's more!
