Mount Kosciusko

Posted on

Mount Kosciusko (kos-kee-oos-koh) is the highest mountain in Australia.  This mountain is located in the Snowy Mountains in Australia and is about 2,228 meters high. The sedimentary rocks of the Australian Alpine were deposited about 800 million years ago when the area was under water. About 200 million years later, these sediments were intruded by granites which today stand up as large boulders where the surrounding sedimentary rocks have been eroded away. My conclusion is that in a million years the mountain will no longer stand up as high as it does now, I predict it will continue to erode as the years go by .
