This video was thrust onto me by YT. No resistance to watching was experienced. Thank you. I live next to the Andes where similar processes are at play.
Very interesting. If viewers want to understand this in more detail, I suggest they read “Colliding Continents” by Professor Mike Searle. Lots of great diagrams explaining this process
Thank you sir for your crystal clear explanation. Many a times, a concept suddenly clicks and everything suddenly makes sense, and that's what happened to me here, so again thank you very much !
Very interesting, although I don't understand how the metamorphic rocks form such thick sequences, when the sand box suggested that they would be repetitive layers.
Thanks sir for explaining so beautifully....I have learned a lot from this.....Please make some more videos on different models of formation of Himalaya or please suggest me; which videos or books I can follow.... Thank you!!!!
Посмотрел по диагонали. Моя тема - перикратонные пояса Сибирской платформы. Верхоянье, Саяны, Байкало-Патом. Не увидел у вас обратных надвигов Их роль огромна и сильно недооценена. Поэтому и клин... И надклинный бассейн...
So as the gneisses are exhumed from a depth to the surface what actually happens to the low to medium grade metamorphosed rocks which are on above the gneisses.Are they eroded to make the gneisses visible?
It is only a theory , correct? The Indian sub continent, lot larger than what we see over ocean, has been traveling for over 40 m years,. Don't know when it contacted Asian plate. One thin sure, when it gets taller the winds and snow above will wear it down just as fast as it grows up, like the alps.
I still can't justify plates moving! The energy required is just not available! And on top of that, every diagram illustrating the movement shows a gradual curve as the plate subducts and the last time I checked, Rock are not elastic! If you bend it, it breaks and therefore is no longer a part of a plate and if one end is being pulled down.... Well it isn't going to be pulling on the rest of the plate! Same goes for what appears to be folded land.... What you should be seeing is shattered rock which should have been happening during the folding process.... But that's not what we see! Everyone always mentions that some mountains are still rising but I have yet to see evidence that they were actually measured by GPS which clearly demonstrates that they are in fact still rising! It's almost like someone somewhere said openly without any evidence that some mountains are possibly still rising and it was just repeated from there even though no one has bothered to take an actual measurement! Maybe a measurement exists? But I'm not aware of it as no one seems to talk about it! Same goes for continental plates! They are supposed to be constantly moving and this is constantly being repeated but no one seems to mention that going by equipment that has been installed between two plates has been checked and found that they are actually either getting closer or further away! I would really love to know the answers to these questions but until I get the answers, I'm going with mountain building being a part and process of volcanism! It's the only process that can be seen that builds mountain's and island's and extended shorelines.... Why earth would need a secondary procedure for mountain building is beyond me!
Gneiss video, very informative.👍👍

omg so happy I found this. You really helped explain this in such a simple clear way.
Very well explained, the part on critical taper wedge is really helpful!
I'm a wannabe geologist. Never heard of this concept. Thanks
Excellent video. Very useful for revision for my impending Tectonic Geomorphology exam. Thank you.
I've got your critical wedge, right here!
Thanks for the good video. This offers nice clarification of what I learned in my Structural Geology studies about himalyan channel flow
Very interesting and well explained, im a geology undergrad and this helped me understand these concepts! thanks
Wow , this is pure awesomeness Thnks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you so much Sir .U explained it in very easy way.
Very interesting and well explained
Spectacular

What's in that Tarim basin? I want to go visit!
Would you make a video for new zealand where we Can apply the wedge ?
Does this mean re-thrusting due to ‘out of sequence thrusting’ process caused big earthquake in Nepal in 2015?
Florida just banned CWT.
"Out of sequence thrusting."
I hate that part. 😂
