HOW CAPE COD WAS FORMED
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST

Season 2 Episode 10: How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Call You Back Airdate: December 8, 1983

After Diane comments on the fact that she spent some time at Cape Cod Cliff chimes in.....briefly.

Cliff never gets to finish detailing the formation of Cape Cod and as a result we may will know if he knew what he was talking about.

The truth:

The formation of Cape Cod is mainly due to the advance and retreat of the last continental ice sheet, the Laurentide and the rise in sea level that followed the retreat of the ice sheet which occurred in the last 25,000 years. When the ice sheet retreated, about 15,000 years ago, it left a build up of rock and debris up to 600 feet thick over the bedrock and Cape Cod was born.

Nothing fishy about these facts:

• Cape Cod is about 400 square miles.
• The peninsula is 65 miles long.
• There have been over 3,000 shipwrecks over the last three centuries off the coast of Cape Cod.
