One of the great mysteries in the science of geology is the origin of the Rocky
Mountains in West6rn trtorin America. Most of the m"ounta]n ranqes o"n fartn can be'
explained using the theory of plate tectonics. But the Rockies, despite the efforts of years
of research and study, are qtill not fully understood. Today there exists three very popular
explanations a to how the Rockies formed, and each of these explanations has some
merit. In this paper we will use your understanding of plate tectonics to analyze the three
most popular theories of how the Rockies formed in an effoft to understand how scientists,
using the same data, can generate different explanations of what caused these beautiful
mountains to form.
Perhaps one of the coolest aspects of science is that scientists can disagree over the
interpretation of evidence used to explain a certain event. The explanation of why the
Rocky Mountains formed is a classic example of how scientists, using the same data, can
generate various theories to explain what they are observing. At the conclusion of this
papert you will be asked to recognize a fundamental concept in science as it is stated in the
science standards: The student understands that scientific investigations may have
alternative explanations and procedures. To understand this statement we will look at three
different theories that have wide acceptance among geologists studying the origin of the
Rocky Mountains. To understand the discussion i this paper, the student will need a
fundamental understanding of the major processes that make up plate tectonics. lncluded
with this paper is a brief description of the six major tectonic processes that generate
mountains on the surface of the Earth.
