Great Video!!! We'll done!! Learned alot now I will see Joshua Tree differently- thank you
This was great! Perfect for geology students.
I guess I'm late to the party but I found your video very informative :)
Just discovered your channel hopefully you can do more national park geography
working on a class project about Joshua Tree - thanks for the video! i loved the animation of the hydrolosis reaction!
Love your videos Short and sweet and with fun slides to illustrate
So I am curious about the uplift and/or uplift events in the area and their time frame; specifically - I have seen competing maps which will stop the Rocky Mountains at Albuquerque and others have the Rockies extend down to El Paso and include the Guadalupe mountains. I speculate that the Rockies are defined by the Laramide orogeny but the mountains extending passed the Rockies into Mexico must have distinct uplifting events. In any case, driving south through New Mexico into Texas - it just looks like mostly mountains all the way down.
Fantastic question! "Rocky Mountains" as a physiogeographic province could include the ABQ and ELP regions... it's often just used to talk about mountains located more inland than the Sierra Nevada and other more coastal mountain ranges. Geologically, you are correct that the Rocky Mountains are generally associated with the Laramide Orogeny. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a terminology/language disconnect between geologists and how normal people use "Rocky Mountains." Geologically, the Guadalupe Mountains are not considered directly related to the Laramide Orogeny. The uplift there (as well as most of central and southern New Mexico) is a result of normal faulting that occurred during the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene (ca. 25 Ma) and is generally attributed to crustal extension and opening of the Rio Grande Rift.
This was thorough but I didn’t learn that much about canyonlands
Wow, great video. I learned a lot in 10 minutes, thank you.
What is the song at the end of the video?
This video was so good! And seeing that you have a playlist of a lot national parks is so exciting, thank you!
Excellent! Thanks!
Nice video doc
Great video!!! So much great information! (Suggestion for making easier to follow: how about a "dry-board" with names of famous people, keywords and numerical data in place of bookcase? ...i realize that it's tricky to balance time/length -- many viewers, such as myself, search for <10 minutes!!)
There is no missing time. The globe shows the same great Unconformity because there was a world wide catastrophic FLOOD and that's why we see erosion. We find sea creatures from the deep in Cambrian fossils and sophisticated creatures such as the Trilobite ( no evolution). Sedimentary rocks were layed rapidly not billions of years or we would see evidence of animal life burrowing which we do not! Coal is formed rapidly as it was created from buried rapid VEGETATION that had HEAT applied by volcanic activity. That's why when it's mined we see methane gas release. It took enormous pressure to create! Billions of years would have decomposed vegetation because of oxygen. Coal is buried in knife rock bands. It forms a Z because of rapid sedimentation.
Deposition does not take millions of years. Visit Death Valley. We see deposition happening every year by flooding. It's a RAPID process.
Lol you admitted to a GLOBAL FLOOD
Too many pop -ups, bro!
Your videos are all great!!
Good luck
Was the Sierra Nevada the source for volcanism that petrified these trees?
Your snowball earth image is wrong. That was not the continental configuration at that time.
I often think that these days our perception of how volcanos erupt is often distorted by the way they are portrayed in visual entertainments. I'm thinking of films like '2012' and 'Pompeii'. Whilst much larger than Mt Mazama, the Yellowstone super-volcano would have erupted in a very similar fashion, with multiple vents erupting along the ring faults spewing out ash, rather than the massive single central explosive vent depicted in '2012'. As for the eruption of Vesuvius in the 2014 film 'Pompeii', the film maker admitted adding fireballs for dramatic effect, though nothing of the sort occurred during the eruption. If it had, the volcanologists excavating and studying the deposits the eruption left would have found abundant evidence of such things... and they haven't. Volcanos are dangerous enough without film makers inventing fictitious dangers solely to make the eruption dramatic. in fact, most explosive eruptions tend to be more messy than movie dramatic, with all the ash they pump out. Also, such eruptions tend to be rather quiet between explosions, and but for the turbulence to be seen in the rising ash column, you might be forgiven for thinking it all quite peaceful. And yes, when calderas are spoken of, most times it's those formed during big explosive eruptions that are cited. Yet the Hawaiian Islands' shield volcanoes have pit calderas, as do the shield volcanoes of Galapagos, and they really do form in a similar way to sinkholes. I don't know if it can still be accessed, but the USGS had time lapse footage of a caldera collapse event at Halema'uma'u, after the 2018 Lower East Rift Zone eruption drained Kilauea's magma chamber. It was something to see crescent shaped sections of rock quietly slip down several hundred metres: there seems to be so little disturbance of the layers of the blocks it looks possible to stand or sit on the top of the sliding slabs and ride down safely, though this may be a deceptive view.
Very well done video. Bummer the channel didn't take off.
Thank you for this video
"It's wuh-LA-muht, damn it." Thats what they told me at Oregon State, anyway. Beavs forever!
This video would have been more badass if he was holding an AR-15.
Some of the cutaways were alright but there are just way too many cut the number in half or more it really takes away from the video tbh I just want to hear you talk about fossilized wood
Wait you mean Joshua trees weren’t made up for Donut County?
We want more about glacier
Awesome video but it’s ok to talk slower and resulting to a longer video. We will watch it anyway 😂
This was a very informative video, and I too love our national park system as one of the few things we can be truly proud of the United States for accomplishing. However, I was a bit put off by how quickly your video skimmed over the "military involvement" period of Nat'l Park history. What do we think the US military was primarily doing? Actively expelling and dislocating the peoples that lived on this land. Also phrasing "the discovery/looting of Indian sites" makes it sound like these were sites of some past society, not the actively inhabited and lived in places that many of them were. This is a dark history, and it's quite painful to learn. But it's essential to acknowledge when discussing this topic because only by grappling with the full truth of the darkness of the US's founding century can we have any hope of healing from the trauma that that past has left our country with. And another small thing, of course you must know the bison did not go extinct due to non-conservation of nat'l parks but due to a federally endorsed and funded campaign to completely eradicate the food sources and other bison materials used by the plains Indians who successfully resisted US expansion several times over. Beyond the obvious ecocide that this constituted, the campaign was clearly motivated by genocidal intentions.
Solid information, but the pop culture cuts were really distracting.
Awesome and informative video! Thanks!
Have you looked at the Olive Grove in Turkey, after the earthquake about 1 month ago? They look like a mini grand canyon. Can Grand Canyon have been made that way? I know that they tell us it's made of water erosion, but I think water erosion should look smooth. Grand Canyon is nothing but smooth, it looks like it was made yesterday, or maybe 10,000 years ago at best. Pyramid and sphynx erosions look older than Grand Canyon.
My jaw dropped when I looked that up
God this is so cool. And you made it so an idiot like me could follow along.
I love all the info in this video! Iv found some killer quartz and epidote in this area!
Love this video, its really helping me with a project on the Glacier Bay Fjord Estuary
Awesome
Awesome. Thanks for sharing your research about Joshua tree. I really enjoy this park.
Juan de Few-cah, not Juan de Foo-cah
now i understand the formation of the mt olympia,
Love this
Annoying cuts
How do you have a billion years of missing time across the whole planet - glaciation would have had to take place across the whole planet
The little injections of cartoons, is not in keeping with the rest of the video.
Amazing videos! Thank you for your work!
Great video!
Totally using this video in HS Earth Science class.
