Convection Currents

Earthquakes, Vulcanic eruptions and Tsunami's: catastrophic but spectacular examples of the greatest and most important natural force of the moving earth plates.
The discovery of the earth's plates and the magma flows on which these plates float is now accepted as the reason for nature disasters and the ''moving continents''. Continents and land mass moved in the whole history of earth from one big supercontinent to multiple the viscous magma flow is powered by the heating and cooling of magma chunks, causing the magma chunks to flow upwards when heated and downwards when cooling.

The big deal about this phenomenon is that its consequences cause our earth to change its surface, and the earth's plates will move to be exact. The moving of those plates causes these natural disasters but makes a good beginning of the story before my podcasting story: for when the land that the Netherlands would be, as in the location in context to other continents and the sea, moved from its place in the supercontinent Pangea to the Eurasian form.

All these million years were meant to get the solid basis of the continental plate, with the surface as a passenger, to its place. But it had yet to fully grow its surface to the contemporary state bit: It moved some plates so stubbornly against each other that they grew upward or downward, meaning that mountains arose where plates approached each other.
That way the Alpine Mountain range, the Scandinavian heights and many other mountains rose. But like the Scandinavian heights, all mountains erode and are slowly worn off. Where these eroded pieces go, is for the first episode, or the incoming article: Sedimentation.
