Interesting topic. Thanks! One note: Hawaii is not formed by forces at a plate boundary. It's islands are a result of a stationary hot spot under the moving Pacific plate above.
I couldn't understand how anyone could have screwed it up this bad, especially when it's common knowledge Hawaii is smack in the *middle* of the Pacific plate. I've noticed when he gets his facts wrong he really gets them wrong...
Thank you. 😊I try and research some of the harder words (specifically those pesky Icelandic words). But apparently, some people in the comments don't like my pronunciation of "Fissure". 😅
@@ChrisKane- after consulting several dictionaries including Websters, Cambridge and Oxford, there is no "fizz" in "fissure", go "fish" elsewhere. On the other hand, I do admire the effort you have gone too to get a lot of the other pronunciations correct.
🤔 seems that you don’t know much about those languages? As a native speaker it’s even difficult to understand what he’s talking about because of that poor pronunciation 🤷♀️ just imagining a heavy American accent (not even English) helps to get it 😉
@@ChrisKane- Sounded like you did not pronounce "Fissure" but Fishez. But no problem. USA is closer to Russia than England and there they sort of slide their words together when in sentence. Pronounciation is just a part of the full production and just like gymnastics you gain top marks for the production (Participation). A little missed accuraccy was not a fall from the gym bar or a tumble on Ice Skates during Olympic figure skating. So not a fail and so your scoring is still high. My guess is only an Icelandian is going to get 100% (Full Marks 100/100). But then I can see Statler and Waldorf (Muppet characters) saying from their viewing box. 'What did the narrator say? 'I don't know, but I could not repeat it'', Most likely it was pronounced the Oregan way, East of Japan. So really your overall score is still 9.9 which whilst the Icelantics may pronounce their own nouns much better the rest would likly reduce their overall score to less than perfect and less than 9.9. But both would score high for their over all procuction. So no big deal.
I live in Northen Europe's Scandinavian cold Pohjola, here is beautiful nature with forests, thousands of lakes and high hills in Lapland. I've visited in Lapland and Norway on this year's july, Norway is our beautiful country with an arctic sea and high AMAZING snowy mountains with cool waterfalls. When I was in Norway there I have feel I am really small human in this BIG world. Next time when I'll visit in Norway I will visit to see that crack rock between mountains it looks awesome place with beautiful view of mountains. By the way I believe there is most wided cracks in Africa the center of Earth. I really love living here in Scandinavian Finland where's no much of earthquakes and cracks. 🌍🏞🌊🏔🇧🇻🇫🇮
"Crack in the Ground" is really cool. It's apart of the Newberry Caldera. From a distance, you can't really see it. Most of the area is open and flat. A formation I was told called Fort Rock is about the only natural feature that can be seen from many miles off. Christmas Valley is a really pretty area, to me.
Fort Rock. Old cinder cone open at the Southeastern edge due to erosion caused by wave action of ancient inland sea. Wind-driven waves were predominantly heading Northwest. There are wave-cut terraces on the edges of the formation. 10,000 year old human artifacts, sagebrush sandals, were found in a cave there.
@@jamespppyacek342 I never knew that. The geology there is impressive. I still have friends in Chrismas Valley. The whole area there is an amateur geologist dream, especially someone who is so curious about volcanos
Many congratulations to the narrator. Onr gets so used to Americans being unable to pronounce foreign words that it's a very pleasant surprise to hear this narrator doing so. That alone is worth my subscription!
Hey! I think you sold the African Rift short in that the rift continues through the Red Sea into Gulf of Aqaba. From here it enters the Dead Sea valley then the Jordan River up to Anatolia. So, flip #1 to #2 and vice versa and you should be good. 😊
The “Puits d’Enfer” is located in the Vendèe Region - not Aveyron ! 7:16 This is a crack in the Rift Valley which is about 10 km wide - it is not THE rift valley… 16:15 Just a crack in the rift , not the plate boundary’s…
Ireland’s limestone western coast is replete with erosional features including large cracks, fissures, “show-caves”, bridges, caverns, grottoes and even miles wide fissured pavements. Do a video on THEM.
Rate of just about everything I recommend consultation with native inhabitants if you take something off the plate you would have to put something back
Map: "a symbolic representation of selected characteristics of a place, usually drawn on a flat surface" . . . Maps are kind of nice to have in these kinds of videos. Otherwise, Good Job 🙂
Instead of being stuck in Iceland, how about naming the Big Ones. The Anatolian Fault, The Great Glen Fault, the one running through the front range of Colorado (and passes through the Dike to the Horsetooth Reservoir). OH! and the San Andreas Fault. Some in this video aren't cracks at all. A hole on the Coast? Hawaii?
Hail to the no, no, no to that Norwegian couple standing on that rock between the cliffs. Looks like a potential 127 Hours situation...expect whole bodies are about to get crushed, or trampled...or just straight up flattened by gravity. 👎
Gods creation never fails to be mind boggling. Humans never fails to be somewhat insane when approach challenging places that is life threatening. But i still wonder why the crack of the Victoria Falls in the Zambezi River hasn't got a place in this channel.
Police officer : "How high are you son ?" Me : "No, it's [ Hi ! How are you ? ]" Cop : " Okay sir, I might need you to turn the pedals down and step out of the bike for me real quick. " For the people still questionning themselves about why the hell did I come here to write the upper part. You should try once in your life. Nature and geography/geomorphology... love to learn more about that stuff I nearly had hopes for a darn bad joke when I saw the title *facepalms while feeling sorry for y'all* but apparently : "your butt" is not always the number one answer Have a good one fellas Keep up the vid's I love it !
Oh yes! Sinclair Canyon is breathtaking, and I always stop and take pictures and walk through it when I'm traveling through. I also really like the hot springs at Radium, but I miss the Lodge on the hillside. I spent many nice evenings at the Lodge and had many fine meals decades ago. (--an Idaho traveler.)
What do I have to show you up and tell you what the biggest crack on earth is ? How about the Atlantic and Pacific ocean ! Once upon a time long long long long long long time ago all land mass was all together then eons later it began to break up thus developing cracks ........... Need I go on ....... Thank you all for your attention ! 😁
At 3:08 a "face" appeared in the rocks as they talked about the Iceland myth of the young boy. (Center, about half way down the clift.) Does anyone else see it?
Can the government please stop all this irrigating for livestock feed, subsidized crops and exported crops? Also put a distance tax on items and solve a lot of problems.
I blame the Saudis for pumping Arizona dry for their alfalfa for their horses that they're going to ship to Saudi Arabia and they got that water super cheap.
Abstract : The energy that dominates the earth is very great, some of it is natural, like the heat of the sun and volcanoes, and some of it is human action, by cutting down trees, without replacing them and cultivating in their place... There are five forces that control or dominate the planet... 1- The first theory (horizontal dynamic movement) and its end... The occurrence of storms, rain, floods and snow, at unexpected times and places, is because of the expiration of this theory, which needs to be balanced... 2- The second theory (vertical dynamic movement) and its end... This movement or force controls or dominates the earthquakes, earth cracks, drying up of rivers and lakes, earth openings, mountain collapses, and the emergence of drinking water springs on the ground... It becomes out of control... These phenomena increased due to the end of this theory... The third theory: it is water that rotates the earth... The fourth theory: the Earth's axis of rotation has tilted 2° degrees... The fifth theory: The Earth has a new orbit... These studies had completed and sent on July 26th 2000 YOUSIF A TOBIYA
I love how all of the people commenting are "such genius minded" people everyone thinks they are so damn smart tell you what if yall so damn smart how bout yell start your own RU-vid channels since you all have such accurate knowledge gafl
Once again Western Canada 🇨🇦 was not included in this video. There is the Tintina Trench, 3 continental divids on the drive up the Dempster Highway in the Yukon. The Columbia Icefields in British Columbia.
You can imagine the Earth without water, as water balances the shape of the Earth, its rotation around itself, and around the sun. Tides are considered a safety valve for the Earth and its rotation. As the water melts, the Earth slows down its rotation. Water has increased due to the melting of the ice caps in the poles and the Himalayas, and thus, the rotational force also increases... Now: The length of the year now is [365 1/4 +_(2 minutes)]... These studies were completed and sent on July 26, 2000... Yousif Ayoub Tobiya
Which doesn't mean the PLANET is going to SPLIT in HALF it just means these cracks a going to cave in filling the holes over thousands if not millions of years meanwhile leaving or creating more holes like sinkholes where ever these cracks are
Not all the cracks in Arizona are cause from water and human mishaps. Hardly any are caused from that there. But they do happen yes. Not these big ones though.
They say most of the US was under water. All the way to Montana. Thousand’s of years ago. There are salt water pillar’s in Kansas and you can see the sea creatures that were fossilized from this time.
