Investigating formation of fold mountain ranges 5H

Lesson: Geography

Class: Year 5H Year: 2025 - 2026

We are looking at the Alps in our Geography topic this half term and today we were looking into how mountain ranges came to be. We used coloured salt dough to demonstrate how the movement of tectonic plates can create pressure which eventaully can cause the sediment to buckle and rise up, forming fold mountain ranges.
