In this episode, children will discover the geological forces behind how massive mountains are created, including tectonic plate folding, cracking faults, and volcanic magma eruptions. Join Emma, Dr. Owl, and Ziggy as they use a virtual teleporter to visit the snowy Himalayas, the sheer cliffs of Yosemite, and the bubbling Mount Fuji. Get ready for a hands-on towel experiment to see plate tectonics in action right from your living room!
