I took Earth Science in high school. It was one of my favorite classes. I learned so much about the structure of our planet. I can look at a rock outcropping and tell whether it is syncline or anticline.
I also learned that the Appalachian Mountain range once had the tallest mountains on the planets. Looking at geologic time and they have been worn down over millions of years.
Now onto the Stamford Mountain ranges. Piles of leaves. We are watching geologic time in a flash of a second.
First there is just a little mound. In some cases, the mountains grow slowly. Other times they appear overnight. Did an earthquake push them up?
No, it is the mighty leaf blower. It has noisy superpowers to build these mountains and they are mountains. They take over the roads and sidewalks. They are a pain to walk around or even drive.
Then like magic they disappear again. The trees wait quietly all winter to start the mountain range building next year.
