How do mountains disappear?
Series title
Planet Earth Below the SurfaceThe geologist Jacques Malavieille of the Geosciences Laboratory in Montpellier describes the processes that lead to the total disappearance of mountain ranges.
A little over 300 million years ago, in the heart of what was to become France, stood an impressive mountain range with reliefs similar to those of the Himalayas. This has now completely disappeared. Scientists know dozens of ancient mountains that have been wiped out.
This film is part of a series of 22 films entitled "Planet Earth Below the Surface".
