Mountain Building and the Growth of Continents
This episode focused on the formation of continents. It introduced geologist James Hutton and his theories about the formation of mountains and continents. Mountains occur around the coasts of continent, as accretion takes place; that is, when other masses of land fuse with a continent, they force the fringes of that continent up into mountains. This program also examined metamorphic and sedimentary rock.
