How were the Ozark mountains formed?

Answer 1

Most of Missouri south of the Missouri River, and parts of northern Arkansas, northeastern Oklahoma, and southern Illinois are known nationwide as the Ozarks. The region covers about 50,000 square miles, with 33,000 square miles being in Missouri, 13,000 in Arkansas, 3,000 in Oklahoma, and 1,000 in Illinois. This rugged area is characterized by lofty hills, deep valleys, cold clear springs and streams, large caves, and a unique cultural tradition. Although its borders blend into the surrounding countryside, the Ozarks are roughly bordered by the Missouri River on the north, and Mississippi River on the east, the Arkansas River on the south, and the Arkansas, Neosho, and Osage rivers on the west. The presently accepted theory of origin for the Ozarks is that during the millions of years when parts of the state were being submerged, uplifted, and re-submerged in warm, shallow seas, the Ozark region was being slowly and continuously uplifted. As the massive land area pushed upward, the rugged topography was sculpted by erosion. What we see today is a landscape changed by the weather of million of years, including last winter's blizzard and today's rainstorm.
