Exploring Saskatchewan’s Unique Geological Formations
Unique Geological Formations are the result of millions of years of natural processes shaping and molding the earth's surface. These formations can range from towering cliffs and majestic mountains to intricate cave systems and stunning coastlines. But what exactly goes into creating these remarkable geological wonders? Let's take a closer look. Plate Tectonics: The movement of Earth's crustal plates is one of the primary factors in the creation of geological formations. The Earth's surface is made up of several large tectonic plates that constantly shift, collide, and separate from each other due to convection currents in the mantle. This process, known as plate tectonics, causes massive landmasses to rise and fall, resulting in mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches being formed over time. Types of Geological Formations There are several types of geological formations found on Earth. Some are formed above the surface while others lie beneath it. Let's take ...
