    Have you watched Nick Zentner at central Washington University geology depth and his online lectures and field trips? Those geologists explain how much material has been added along the west coast from oceanic volcanic zones and also some from other continents .

    The video identifies the Middle Teton as Mt. Moran starting around 34:37. It then shows the real Mt. Moran in the next slide. Both have an basalt dike running up their eastern aspect. Mt. Moran has Leigh Lake & Jackson Lake at its base. The Middle Teton is set back into Garnet Canyon.

    The Tetons are a very young range. They have little to no foothills. Absolutely beautiful mountains, and very are very assessable. The valley, Jackson Hole, is just paradise as well.
    The Tetons were lifted up along a fault on the Wyoming side, creating a "hinge" on the west/Idaho side. On the other side of the fault, the valley fell. The valley has since mostly filled in.
    On the Idaho side of the Tetons, one can walk up to and stand on the hinge where the Tetons begin. Incredible.

    Wonderful presentation by a teacher. There are a few minor inaccuracies, but that happens with professional presenters as well. Great job overall. A-

    So,the Grand Tetons have about the same vertical relief as the peaks at the Eastern end of the San Gabriel Mountains (Cucamonga pk,Ontario Pk) but far less than the Mt San Jacinto just West of Palm Springs or the Eastern Sierra Nevada. And the Grand Teton's are about twice the age San Gabriel Mountains just North of Los Angeles.

    If the process was extension, how did the tetons rise to 13,700 feet? That block must have started at that height, then the eastward block dropped. Or did the western block become uplifted since 40Ma? Then the mountains are not left from extensional processes.

    • @ivanivonovich9863
      @ivanivonovich9863 4 года назад +1

      It would appear that the Western Block was dramatically uplifted, with the Eastern Block only moving up as the rest of the continent rose. Note the lack of some of the other older rocks on the Western side of the Tetons. The mountains ARE what is left of the extensional process... All the other rock has eroded away.
