Landform History- The Bay Of Fundy & Hopewell Rocks

There are no major landforms in Moncton but about a half hour away are the Hopewell Rocks. The Hopewell rocks are a part of The Bay Of Fundy. This is the biggest attraction in New Brunswick because when the tide is out you are able to go down and walk the ocean floor and when the tide is up you can kayak or canoe around the rocks. Millions of years ago this was once a dry rift valley and it filled with water after the last ice age nearly 13 000 years ago, creating what is know today as the Bay Of Fundy. As the cliffs around The Bay eroded they were washed down into the valley, overtime the rocks, mud and pebbles formed a solid rock. Through out the years the earths crust moved and the solid rock broke apart into the starting formation of flower pots. The flower pots were formed by the last glaciation and years of erosion from water, as they are still being shaped today from the tides that come in and out everyday.
Plate Tectonic Creation- Appalachians

In New Brunswick it is hilly, it is because the Appalachians are a part of it. The Appalachians are no longer considered mountains because they have been eroded away over the years, now they are just rolling hills. About 480 million years ago two plates collide together. After thousands of years of the rocks just pushing together the weaker plate collapsed under the other plate. After millions of years the plates formed ridges and these ridged became huge and created the Appalachians.
