Nature Documentary For Sleep | How Plate Subduction CREATED The Andes Mountains and more

Settle in for some boring geography for sleep as we drift along the west coast of South America and let plate tectonics do the storytelling. In this Sleepless Geographer style episode, we follow how plate subduction, where the oceanic Nazca Plate slips beneath the South American Plate, built the towering Andes Mountains over millions of years.

You will gently explore mountain building, earthquakes, volcanoes, deep ocean trenches, and the high, dry extremes of the Altiplano and Atacama Desert. If you want calm narration, slow science, and relaxing landscapes while still learning how Earth shapes itself, this is the perfect background video to watch, or fall asleep to.
