Episode 71: Exploring Plate Tectonics at the Great Smoky Mountains!

In their very first episode-in-the-field, Paul and Todd take a
trip to the Great Smoky Mountains to learn about Plate Tectonics.
After learning the basics of plate tectonics and the geography of
eastern Tennessee, Paul and Todd venture into the mountains. They
explore the geology from crystalline basement rocks to coarse
sandstone to an astonishingly massive overthrust, where you'll
get a quick tour of mountain geology and how it all relates to
the great Flood.


This episode was recorded in the park and therefore has road,
cicada, and creek noise in the background.
