Detailed explanation-1: -Like the Pacific Ranges, the Rocky Mountains grew as geologic forces heaved slabs of rock upward. The Rocky Mountains link the United States and Canada, stretching more than 3, 000 miles (4, 828 km) from New Mexico to Alaska. Some peaks of the Rockies soar to more than 14, 000 feet (4, 267 m).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Athabasca oil sands, also known as the Athabasca tar sands, are large deposits of bitumen or extremely heavy crude oil (viscosity of 5, 000-10, 000 centipoises) that constitute unconventional resources, located in northeastern Alberta, Canada – roughly centred on the boomtown of Fort McMurray.
Detailed explanation-3: -Weathering and erosion are geologic processes that shape Earth’s landforms over vast periods of time through the actions of water, wind, ice, and gravity.
