Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The East Greenland orogen, also known as East Greenland mountain range, is the linear mountain range along the eastern Greenland coast, from 70 to 82 degrees north latitude. 
Geologically, the mountain chain consists of late Cryogenian to late Devonian (650 to 350 millions years ago) fold and thrust belts. Little is known about the exact timing and setting of the earlier phases as this area was later heavily deformed during the Caledonian Orogeny (450 to 350 million years ago). The rocks of the East Greenland orogen are mostly Silurian granites with Devonian sedimentary rocks overlying Ediacarian marine deposits, all on a basement of gneisses. 
The current mountain range formed as a result of uplift during the opening of the Atlantic Ocean in the Cretaceous and early Tertiary (starting 100 million years ago). The related East Greenland Rift Basin oil deposits are estimated to be one of the largest in the world.
