The Amazing Life Cycle of Mountains | SciShow Compilation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Mountains may look like they've all been stagnant for thousands of years, but the life cycle of a mountain is actually quite fascinating. From mountain ranges in space, to why Earth isn’t a water-world, here are some videos exploring the complexity of mountains and a shifting world. You won't believe the amount of history they contain!

Ah yes, a mountain compilation. Also known as a range.
This is a perfect comment
A mountilation, if you will
ah well if it was contiguous it would be a range good sir
HAH
10 out of 10 my friend 😉😜
Hank comes up with stuff that makes me laugh like crazy like: "Don't take land for granted; we could all be fish." You have to have a kind of "unique" view of reality to see things that way, but just in case, I'm going to say "Thank you earth" every day from now on.
he lost the opportunity to say "don't take land for granite"
@@qubit1788 so many missed mountain and rock related pun opportunities in this video 😅 lol
That's all fine and good, but maybe some of us *wanted* to be fish...
(Flops away awkwardly)
@@qubit1788 Wow, I had to stop and marble at all the great geology puns he missed out on...
Always thank earth she’s given us everything we have
I just noticed that the mountain in the thumbnail is the Mt. Fitz Roy in the southern Argentinean-Chilean border! In my (biased) opinion, it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
Love from Argentina ❤️

Also known as El Chaltén, yeah, the most beatiful place I've seen 💜
Much love from the US ♥️
Both the lakes region and Tyrolean Alps in Austria have incredibly similar peaks in multiple areas, though in a slightly smaller scale. I thought it was a pic from near Mont Blanc at first, but that dagger shape is too distinctive. I realize it was in Patagonia just from seeing other photos.
This has been a very uplifting experience. Ty😎👍
I can't blame you for making such a pun; it's not your fault.
I know, peak comedy.
I love when y'all talk about geology
It rocks!
@@johnp9988 jesus christ john they're minerals!
@@tetsuomiyaki wrong. rocks are comprised of minerals. 2 or more minerals = a rock. Nomenclature matters. and no need for profanities. Geology rocks and i should know - my name says it all...
Main takeaway from this video: Don’t take land for granite, we’re lucky land exists and we aren’t underwater - so don’t basalty about it.
Yeah. We could all b fish 🎏
Too creative!
Why is this comment so far down... this is Sci-show gold
I hate dad jokes but this one is so good!
Ground liquifaction from a quake is absolutely terrifying
Looked that up, you are spot on, very scary. did not know that.
Is "The majority Report" neutral or partisan ? Couldn't guess precisely from the thumbnails.
Ok, cryovolcanoes are the coolest thing I've heard in awhile. Pun not intended.
Not intended, but welcomed 😎😂
So RUclips kind of hitched for a moment and I just heard "While most of the earthquake activity in southeastern Europe is the work of turkeys" before it started buffering
I nearly spit out my drink.
I wonder sometimes if the presence of sea creature fossils in mountains, due to the plates' advance seafloor winding up high up, led to ancient people devising flood stories. They couldn't know then that the bit of rock with the seashells at the top of the mountain used to be seafloor, so they figured the water used to come up that high so there must have been a big flood. It makes sense in my head, anyway :-)
Thats an interesting theory. Sounds logical
Good bit of insight. Says that they were both intelligent enough to question what they saw, and smart enough to take what they saw and create a story of the past. Nice idea.
My aunt still thinks that’s what happened. That the ice age was the flood and put fish bones in the mountains. Lol
@@breetopkuschi9657 yeah that's because people wrote a book a few thousand years ago before we had the tools to figure this stuff out, then wrote that anyone who didn't believe that book would burn horribly forever.
Kind of led to a lot of long term willful ignorance and resistance to new information
@@danielled8665 the story of the flood predates written texts (so far) it's something most ancient ppl shared. It could be possible that most of the world's early human population delt with a flood that to them seemed global. But in reality was localized to a region
Short-haired Michael is like an unevolved pokemon
I love the short hair on him !!
Yup it doesn't look right. I can't believe he chopped it off, all that work and all that amazingness gone.
@@dipstiksubaru3246 Don't be concerned; this is early Mike. The one you know and love, with the external things and the evolved pokemon look, is the _now_ Michael. This short, How Tall can Mountains Grow, aired 18 Sept 2019. So, not 'chopped off' at all.
I love long haired Michael
He looks so young here.
"Glacial Buzzsaw" is a terrific name for a heavy metal band 😂
The editing is so well done gotta give appreciation to the editor or editors
Thanks. This was packed with new information and knowledge I had no idea of.
That was a mountain of knowledge. Thanks!
We really have learnt a lot in last few hundred years...
Excellent summation took me back to my earth science degree you even seem to have found an uplift processed I wasn’t familiar with good going cheers
Tectonic plates? Ah, it's your fault there are mountains.
This episode contains a lot of wonderful and varied facts. Thank you.
Really cool compilation! There's so many crazy mountains in China as well, I'm surprised I did not see a video about them yet. Maybe a future idea?
Wow! This is fascinating - THANK YOU SciShow !!
When he said “god knows…” I died.
This is so incredible. ❤ 🌍 Thank you.
Amazing and fascinating video. I love mountains. If I don't go hiking or bicycling in the mountains for a while I'm getting itchy. I couldn't live anywhere else.
Where I am in the rockies, theres a mountain range where geological time was flipped on its side. Older rocks to the east newer rocks to the west
Rock paper scissors? Nah let's play mountain, river, tectonic plates! River erodes mountain, mountain squashes plate, plate cuts off river.
If you drain the ocean. How close would Hawaii compare to Olympus Mons on Mars
Mauna Kea is 9,966 meters tall. Olympus Mons is around 25,000 meters, almost 3 times taller.
@@TechBearSeattle all of Hawaii itself without the ocean, at that point where does the landmass start
@@kaiceecrane3884 they just told you. about 10000 meters to the ocean floor
@@RUclipsIsAGarbagePit Mauna Kea, which is what they gave a measurement for, is the absolute bottom of the land mass of Hawaii?
@@kaiceecrane3884 no. For the 3rd time. What you would call "the bottom" of a land mass is the ocean floor. If you drained the ocean, it would be 10000 meters tall.
I grew up as a mountain. My childhood was hell.
VERY GOOD INFORMATIONS TNX TEACHER
So fascinating
I learn almost as much from sci show as I do from my 6 year old nephew.
very interesting. thank you
BEAUTUFUL!!
Damm good video thank you for it
I didn’t know I didn’t like the word Crustal until today.
Seen a few complications today, first one about mountains
these guys get it
The northern and eastern entrances of Yellowstone are closed because of 2-3 inches of rainfall. That's good enough evidence for me that rainfall is the primary variable affecting erosion.
"Smashing crust" is my new favourite euphemism.
This is so fascinating,
I feel that if earth was covered in water, wouldn't it aid cooling the surface layers, and possibly start plate tectonics by causing cracks in the slaggy layer up top, where the lightest magma oozed out and began forming the proto continent. An ice age could possibly pile up enough ice to cause cracks in this continent? Idk. I'm as much a geologist as randy marsh
Must send this to Cecil & Carlos. Mountains are not a myth!
I understood that reference!
;ooking great, Michael!
The highest mountain on Venus is a bit taller than Everest even though Venus has a thicker atmosphere, so from that we can infer that the width of the mountain and the gravity of the planet are the main factors that determine how tall a mountain can get, and the atmosphere is a much smaller factor
Go Go Sci Show
cant fuckin believe i'm watching this to help me study for TWO classes
Thank you guys.Your videos very educational,for peoples want to know more.
Thank you👏👏👍
Why don't we have more of these? This would make a great series!
Very interesting
Quite the "range" of videos there... :P
I will never again take land for granite
thanks love geology!
Hi
Hi
Hi
You were first commenter, but you were humble in not claiming it.
I have some questions about Hank's first video in this compilation. At 9:18 he says "far from plates' boundaries," and the first example he gives (Utah and Idaho) IS at the interior of a plate. But then the next examples -- Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, Himalaya -- are a mixture (the Rockies are interior; I'm not sure about the Sierra Nevada; the Himalaya are definitely on a plate boundary). He then mentions that those are examples of the kind of fault that caused the Alaska earthquake, which is another plate boundary. And the last example -- the San Andreas fault -- is purely at a plate boundary. What point was he making? Did he lose track of what the examples were supposed to be examples of? And at 10:07 he refers to southwestern Europe and then mentions Turkey (with a map). Turkey can be southeast Europe or it can be southwest Asia. It can't be southwest Europe. This was an old episode (judging by Hank's exaggerated delivery). I think the quality control is better now.
I think he was saying that it wasn't only possible on the boudaries. The three types also happen on the poundaries, but can also happen in the interior.
Cyro-Volcano…how cool! 😂
Wegener's continental drift theory was not based on the modern tektonic plate theory. In Wegener's model continents were ploughing through the ocean crust.
I love science!
Low-Key-Hot-Take:
Science-Channel and Atheist-RUclipsr are Siblings,
but many dont realize it, which is the one-and-only Reason to keep the Overlap low.
🏔🗻⛰🗺good ,educational vid.👍
top 10 at least :D
The study still only shows what happens in that situation...we know so little, and the more we know, the more we know we DON'T know.
Hopefully. SciShow could cover the active fault zone that was recently discovered on Mars and what it may mean.
I live for this
So.. we live on the foamy fringes of the soup skin of a colossal ball of molten lava? May as well go ahead and toss in hurtling through space! -Phill, Las Vegas
Finally I feel like I know at least as much as the hosts.
Flagging this video as needing (not just auto-generated) subtitles. Please help us hard of hearing and deaf folks access your content!! 🥰🤟🏻
22:49 you know I heard this theory about that, I don't remember all the wording exactly, but I think it involved a decree something to the effect of "let there be land"
God I love this channel
There is an old saying in german: Steter Tropfen höhlt den Stein. (Constant dripping wears away the stone.) It took quite a while to proof that long know fact. I don't expect the evolution theory to be finally proofen by scientific standards ever. So people, who don't understand what a theory is, will keep saying:"But it's just a theory, bro."
St Michael,s Mount in Cornwall England and Ayers Rock are example of Mountains being crushed together.
Uluru is an example of erosion of an ancient mountain range into finer particles that were washed down and sedimented by overlain land. Under high pressure and temperature the 'rock' was created and then the softer land eroded down to the level we see today. There is still so much Uluru under the land level today. St Michaels is granite, which by it's nature is molten rock cooled slowly under ground and then uplifted and the land eroded so we can see it. Good try. Geology is wonderful.
Wegener made no mention of ‘plates’ and therefore no plate boundaries.
I've been wondering... Something completely different. Could hydrogen powered planes increase the chance of forrest fires? Like how your not supposed to water the plants at certain times when it's really sunny because the droplets can have a magnifying effect and burn the leaves. Could the hydrogen from a plane influence some similar effect on a larger scale?
Leaf burn from water isn't actually a thing, it's been disproven.
When you burn hydrogen you get water, not more hydrogen.
Also, that is an untrue old wives tale about watering on sunny days. I’d be happy to go into more detail if asked.
@@goodrabbi7176 yes please!
Short AND thick? Daaaaamn
I said "Oh!" like 5 times during this video, so damn interesting
hey ! at 23:45 thats in Sao Miguel Azores Portugal ! Im from there :D
I learned about cryo- volcanoes today
Weel...it's like this so far as a mountain itself arising at its base is Mauna Kea in Hawai'i. She is some 10.203 m in true height under mean sea level. So honestly that is 1'355 in difference from looking down upon Mt Everest which is from her base is 8'848 m..
Olympus mons: hold my beer
Thanks Hank, thank.
Stefan your skin looks incredible.
Question- How do faults form in plates?
Answer- Drunken Busboys
I have a question sci show. If the worlds water level rose one kilometre. Woukd that allow mountains to grow another kilometre or just half as much since water is almost half as dense as crust rock.
Dam that's a good question dark star from the past. There might be something in that although I doubt it would be linear. 1 kilometre one way or the other by some metric. If the crust acted like a boat I can see your theory having something there. But what stops mountains from rising is the pressure the mantle and surrounding crust can exert on that break in the crust. Water shouldn't be involved at all but that's only because the water doesn't currently cover the entire planet. I can't decide. If the world was flattened out would it stop continental drift or simply start again from the beginning when earth was created from cosmic hellfire and liquid rock. like a lava lamp turned on. Mars is a lava lamp turned off billions of years ago. I learned a bit since I last saw this video. Fist pump 😁
Cool story bro
Mars and Venus have cold cores. Earth has more radioactive keeping the iron core molten and powering plate tectonics (weathering).
everest is still growing vertically every year.
0:15 that’s what she said
Great video but how hard is it to also use feet when describing the height of the mountains?
I love that Reid is in this one.
My friend, I have a question: what if we could gather soil in mass and move it to or from the pole or equator of mars; what direction do we move it?
Me: Aaah, 30 minutes long! I'm not gonna watch this video...
Me:*clicks on the video*
Also me 30min later: Ooh, it was interesting after all😑🚶🚶🚶
I would have never known.
Aint no mountain high enough
“partial melting” Whoa whoa whoa, dumb it down for us there Einstein! Not all of us taught at Princeton ya know!😜🤣
For a shorter crust, use lard.
"Don't take laned for granted." Or we should take land for granite, because that's what continental crust if partly made of.
im gonna tell my kids this channel was the Big Bang Theory
i'll take one earth pizza with cheesy crust please! ^_^°
hey hank, long time lurker, first time commenter and you said south west, when refering to the south east.
Watching this video from 4,500ft above sea level
The impact that hit mercury must have been apocalyptic. It seems like if it was just a little faster hitting it, it could've destroyed mercury
i made a research paper about this. cool.
Good job!
Reid mentioned we have mountains that are also impact craters...which ones?
Panther Mountain in New York maybe?
I've been ruined, I heard everest may be nearly as high as mountains can get and went "an yes, the block limit"
