Landform Detectives A violent explosion occurs suddenly and a landscape is altered for generations. Across the world, 7,000 years of raindrops delicately and slowly weave a haunting landscape. Thick, crushing sheets of ice melt away to give rise to great cities, and deep in our primordial past, the most awe-inspiring mountains were sludge at the bottom of a forgotten sea. |
