Brain Post: How Tall Can Mountains on Earth Get? | Great Educational Video

Miles Clark | | Post Tag for BrainsBrains

This video is a very educational 1 minute and 45 seconds of plate tectonics, gravity, rock density, erosion, history, geology, and Mars geography.

To be honest, Iโ€™ve never heard any kind of discussion like this before.  How tall can a mountain get on Earth?  I figured they could get pretty tall.  Especially considering Olympus Mons on Mars is 90,000 feet tall.  Youโ€™d think that on Earth, we could grow a mountain at least 40,000 feet tall.  Apparently not.  Looks like Earth has done a fantastic job a mountain growing.  Great video.
