One very weird thing about the Rocky Mountains is that since the 1950s or 1960s, we've known they had to have spent most of their geologic history buried under several kilometers worth of their own eroded material until <10 million years ago.
Neat recent paper on this here:

If you ever find yourself thinking about making a meme, my advice would be don’t. Instead, take that idea or that energy and make it into a novelty joke tape. It doesn’t matter if the novelty joke tape is very bad, or even if you don’t finish it. It will still be more meaningful than the meme.
