Cross-curricular connection I Earth science
Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is world-famous for its amazing landscape. Let's read the story behind the unique mountains there.
Read the article and put the pictures A to E in the correct order,(1-5)
The formation of the mountains in Zhangjiajie
People are always amazed by the pillar-like mountains in Zhangjiajie.
But how did these unique mountains take shape
The story started at the bottom of the sea. Here the forces of nature turn sand into stone. How does this happen Well, many of the world's rivers pick up sand and slowly carry it into the ocean. Little by little, new sand arrives on the sea floor, so the old sand gets pressed down. It can take millions of years, but the pressure slowly turns the sand into hard rock. This is what happened in Zhangjiajie.
Later, the sea floor slowly rose out of the water and became land, and the hard sandstone of Zhangjiajie began cracking up. The wind kept blowing against the rock, and rivers passed through the cracks. These forces of nature slowly cut deeper and deeper, and the land continued to rise. Over time, strange-looking sandstone mountains appeared. In fact, wind and water continue to wear down the mountains. Sometime in the future, millions of years from now, these beautiful mountains will disappear.
The birth of the mountains of Zhangjiajie
