Learn about the geology of the San Joaquin Valley in this installment of BVM's Earth Science Video Series. Visit Buena Vista Museum online at: www.buenavistamuseum.org
Many folks from LA and SF just try to drive through the San Joaquin Valley as fast as possible, but there’s a fascinating story beneath those fields and in those mountains.
My Grandfather on my Dad’s side worked for Standard Oil & lived in McKittrick. Prior to that, he worked as a Fireman on the Steam Railroads...so he applied his experience to heating the crude oil to facilitate a proper pressure for it to flow through the many miles of pipelines towards the Refinery, and terminate at Port San Luis oil pier to load onto the Oil Tanker Ships. Meanwhile, my Dad busied himself as a kid, taming a wild donkey he found in the foothills & rode it back & forth many miles to the School House. In the 50s, my Dad would drive from our home in Azusa into the Southern San Joaquin Valley to McKittrick...my Family listening carefully to my Dad’s interesting stories of growing up in the wild beautiful Valley.
Two of the most essential & under appreciated studies that ALL school children should be introduced to are NUTRITION & GEOLOGY... thanks for this important work... we cannot reverse the paradigm of land & water mis-management without having a canonical knowledge & understanding of GEOLOGY! Appreciate you... Merry Christmas
Really enjoyed this presentation. I took notes so now I can look for this wonderful rocks as I pass along the roads here at home along Hwy 178 and 58. Thank You so much! Keep up the awesome work!👍🏻🤗
The San Juaquin Valley was pushed out of the ocean as the N. American continent reached the end of the plate boundary (moving West) and is backed up against the San Andreas Fault. Thinking in unverifiable "millions of years" is ridiculous. The whole valley could return to an inland sea within 1 day - and almost unanimously among psychics, it will.

Here here, a man of my own ilk with pros and questions not to defunct knowledge but to ask questions about the method and delivery of known things.

Why do the sediments sink into the earth?
It a lake bed

“Psychics” 😂😂😂😂😂
Isn't the San Joaquin valley a subduction zone?
