We learned some interesting geology today. Including that these mountains came from the collison of the African and North American plates.
There are also calcite ponds that are formed from calcium seeping out from the rocks. This pool is forming new rock as it sets there. With a pH of 14, noone would want to put your hand in there.
Gros Morne (the mountain) came from an area where pink quartz like rock was found.
The table tops were even harboring snow. the crevices are so deep that snow is present most of the year. These rocks were formed from the magma that game from deep in the earth.
