In this post, we gonna learn about the geography of Banff. Banff is a water source in the upstream of Rocky mountains. Banff is a national park in Canada. The nearest city to visit the national park is Calgary.
The park spans 6,641 square kilometers (2,564 square miles) of mountainous terrain, packed with spectacularly scenic valleys, peaks, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers.
We would like to show you how the geography of the park was formed. Since Banff is part of the Rocky mountains, we have to understand how the Rocky was formed by watching the following video.
From the video, the Rocky was formed because the Pacific Ocean Plate has been pushed down under the North American Plate for a hundred millions years.
As the Ocean Plate being pushed down, the magma is pushing it up. As a result, the Ocean Plate move up closer to the base of the North American Plate.
The Ocean Plate scrapes along the underside of the North American Plate. It creates frictions and punches up the North American Plate.
