Geologic Journey


World Heritage Site: Gros Morne National Park

Publication Year: 2011

Publication Type: Article

Publication Identifier: WHE8EC1EF00EC

Summary

Gros Morne National Park's geological history, spanning 500 to 200 million years, is illuminated through the lens of plate tectonics. This five-episode series, 'Geologic Journey,' narrated by David Suzuki, traces Canada's prehistory by examining major landforms such as Niagara Falls and the Torngat Mountains. The series employs scenic footage, computer-generated animations, and cross-sections to depict geological processes like lava and mineral movements from the mantle to the Earth's surface. While primarily aimed at a general audience, it provides a visually engaging introduction to plate tectonics, though it lacks detailed educational content for comprehensive understanding.
