Pacific Ocean plate sunk to raise Wyoming's Wind River Range

  • The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is known as one of the largest nearly intact temperate-zone ecosystems remaining on Earth.
  • The Wind River Range is about 220 kilometers long and includes Gannett Peak, the highest point in Wyoming at 4,210 meters.
  • Geologists believe the Wind River Range uplift occurred between 65 and 50 million years ago, raising rocks by about 14.5 kilometers vertically.
  • The Laramide Orogeny, linked to the subduction of the Farallon Plate, began around 80 to 70 million years ago and shaped much of the Rocky Mountains.
