Three-River-Source(Sanjiangyuan) National Park Potatso (Pudacuo) National Park Northeast Tiger Leopard National Park Shennongjia National Park Zhangjiajie National Forest Park … Post-reading 04 Cross-curricular connection 05 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park The formation of the mountains in Zhangjiajie People are always amazed by the pillarlike mountains in Zhangjiajie, but how did these unique mountains take shape? The story started at the bottom of the sea. Here, the forces of nature turn sand into stone. How does this happen? Well, many of the world’s rivers pick up sand and slowly carry it into the ocean. Little by little, new sand arrives on the sea floor, so the old sand gets pressed down. It can take millions of years, but the pressure slowly turns the sand into hard rock. This is what happened in Zhangjiajie. Later, the sea floor slowly rose out of the water and became land, and the hard sandstone of Zhangjiajie began cracking up. The wind kept blowing against the rock, and rivers passed through the cracks. These forces of nature slowly cut deeper and deeper, and the land continued to rise. Over time, strange-looking sandstone mountains appeared. In fact, wind and water continue to wear down the mountains. Sometime in the future, millions of years from now, these beautiful mountains will disappear. Read the article and put the pictures (a-e) in the correct order (1-5).
