This is really a fantastic video. There isnt much out there like this. Thanks!

I found a meteorite in North Carolina and I’m thinking to sell it. What is gonna be the value?

Very well done. You got to the important stuff and covered it in an entertaining, yet understandable and factual way.

Well done.

White Rocks Mtn. In Carter Co. TN has some features similar to Stone Mtn. It has granite cliffs on the soutwest face, which leads me to believe to in the distant future as erosion occurs it will look like Stone Mtn.

The monstrosity on Sugar Mtn. is despised by the locals.

Rest in peace chimney rock

The music 👎

That hang glider flight was possible. A friend who flew traditional sailplanes would follow the ridges from Eastern Pennsylvania down into the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia to the Harrisonburg area. The conditions have to such to allow this, and the pilot needs to have the skills to take advantage of the conditions. These flights normally would not be documented.

Sheldon says that geology is not a real science. Bazinga!

A main course of geomorphology, a side helping of nuanced humor and craftily drizzled with a glaze of great music. Wow!

I've stayed at the mountain top Condo's on Sugar Mountain, quick access to the Ski Slopes. There's another eyesore in Boone NC, called the Broyhill wind turbine at Appalachian State which was installed in June 2009.

Well there you go, I've never heard of the Great Escarpment here in Australia. I just assumed it was all the Great Dividing Range. But there you go, I came here to learn something about geology of the Appalachians. But I click away learning about the Appalachians, but also something of my own country.

Great job! You taught me a lot about the geology of this region.

Good job.

Tryon , NC is the most charming small town at the base of the escarpment. The towns south border is the SC state border. In Tryon see the historical home of Nina Simone

Really really nice job! Great 3D graphics really helped visualize what you were trying to convey. If you are planning on doing more of these in the future my only advice would be to slow down your presentation speed. For those of us without significant background knowledge we need a few seconds to process each fact or concept being presented. Appreciate very much your work on this! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Some of the oldest rock on the planet can be found exposed atop Clingman’s Dome in the Smokeys. It’s pre-fossil of course & kinda resembles moon rock.

❤

Well done.

The escarpment is slowly de-escarping from north to south, that is much of the area north of the Roanoke river used to be the same thing, with rivers generically heading west. Through a process of river piracy, east bound streams cut into the mountains and eventually pirated those rivers, eg, Potomac, James and yes the Roanoke river captured those waters, south of the Roanoke that's not true but you can assume one day the upper sections of the New River will be captured also.

We have 2 monadnocks in the Piedmont, Little Mountain and Paris Mountain

The Grandfather Mountain Window is mind-blowing.

The "Blue Wall" section viewed from Traveler's Rest SC is an impressive escarpment. Truly looks like a wall.

So is Caesars Head and Table Rock in SC apart of this same escarpment?

Excellent review. Comprehensive, accurate, and clearly articulated.

I read somewhere that the Appalachian mountains were way older than the rockies and they are older than the alps they're just worn down by erosion.and plate tectonics. If true that's awesome

Absolutely love this. What a high quality video.

Thanks , hope to travel the Blue ridge . I will have some clue to its formation now .

In the Electric Universe "That Dog Won't Hunt"😂😂 Nice scenery though thanks 👍

Great video. Well done!

16:50 are there any escarpments on the western sides of continents. Every example shown was on the south eastern side of the continent.

6:56 “and a great example of a snail on a stick” 😂

GO HOKIES!!!

Interesting note: Blacksburg sits just below the eastern continental divide. Our apartment on Jefferson St between Washington and Clay afforded me a view across the ridge top.

That same hang glider was later killed hanging gliding from Grandfather Mountain. Shortly after that the hang gliding competitions at Grandfather were permanently cancelled. Thanks for a very informative video. I live in this area and have wanted a deeper understanding of the formations around me.

Like your humor.

Sweet, hiked many of these. Wish y'all had seen Looking Glass Rock in Pisgah Forest, NC. Thk it's a Pluton. Grt vid. Thx ✌🏻

Hey Amanda. Nice to see a fresh face doing science. Good luck.

That ridge-top eyesore is not a hotel. It's a condo building called Sugar Top on nearby Sugar Mountain. A visual blight for sure. It inspired a state law limiting the height of buildings on NC mountain ridges.

Very interesting video. With interest in the area, I've always wondered if there is a possibility of a larger Mound structure on the New River in that area. That would be an interesting research topic.

Thanks...good information well presented.

Excellent and informative!

Very informative. Does that also explain Pilot Mountain in NC?

Very well done. Thanks to all.

solid explanations. Nice mountains

good stuff

that hotel on top of the mountain is responsible for a series of laws preventing another eyesore like it from ever being built; iirc there is a clause that states if it ever comes down it can't be rebuilt. source: avery county expat

Hey thank you for the video, very nicely done! I have a quick question please, when talk about Chimney Rock's first metamorphism event during the opening of the Iapetus ocean, how do you get metamorphism from the extension associated with the opening of an ocean please?

Rock on!❤
