Where Do Mountains Come From?

The video explores the formation and growth of mountains, explaining that they are made from the Earth's crust, which is divided into tectonic plates. These plates move slowly, and when they collide, they push up land to form mountains and mountain ranges. The process takes millions of years, and some mountains, like Mount Everest, are still growing. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to ask questions and explore more about mountains.
