Catastrophe and Cartography - Ice Age Floods Visualized 

the interruption of the oceanic currents is really only speculation, and also it cant really explain all the heinrich events during the ice age neither which caused brutal temperature changes globally too without flooding the ocean.

"Science moves forward thanks to debate" ... clearly you were involved with science back in the olde days when science encouraged debate but those days are over... in fact if you turn up to a modern university and you have any different thoughts to the current university groupthink you will be beaten by students who have been instructed by Professors to "remove" the sexist racist whatever-ist alt-thinker and "get this hate speech off our campus". If you do not believe what the group believes you won't even attend a lecture let alone present one. Pretty soon there will only be one politicly correct lecture to give and the students will literally beat you to death if you haven't got it memorized. Science has always advanced one death at a time but now the kids tell themselves that "feelings" are the true path to knowledge. I have a bad feeling about this but I don't feel enlightened any.

Basalt, hard or not, was eroded to an extent not seen in recent times. And yes, multiple times.

@@scottpike9009 and also that ice age dam burst theory has been shown to be impossible already anyway

Interesting points. I like the cooling planet addition, I think these pieces fit together....

I wouldnt tell a lot of people about your dad having those items. Certain groups will want to have them confiscated.

But thats very cool!

I live in the bottom of Lake Agassiz, by Lake Winnipeg. It's crazy to think of all the water and ice that was sitting on top of the land we're on. Flat lake bottom now.

Many "scientists" (propagandists) are trying everything they can to silence RC, GH and any others who are bringing this to the publics knowledge. It basically exposes the bs narrative the Climate change global warming nuts are trying to spread. Pretty much proving they are intentionally over blowing the effect we have on the climate.

"Lives in the US" "Uses Metric" Honestly, I don't believe you. Nobody, and I do mean nobody in the US visualizes in metric.

Ah, Mericans, amazing folk!

Randall Carlson is way way off on his understanding of these floods. He claims the scablands were caused primarily through a single flood during the younger dryas. The reality is that there were over 40 massive floods, beginning much much earlier, not corresponding only with the younger dryas. There are clear sentiment layers that were deposited in the various floods. These have been dated using various methods, so we know they’re of various ages. Some even have ash layers between them from prior mt saint helens eruptions and from other volcanos, which occurred well before the younger dryas. Carlson’s pet theories about these floods are just plain wrong.

@@TonyTrupp The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation shutting down was a major contributing factor. Along with simultaneous eruptions of virtually all of the super volcanoes and volcanos blocking out the Sun. Along with a great release of internal heat, that did/will get hot enough to melt the mantle, unlock the continents. This would melt all the ice, cause flooding, then immediately following an ice age/glacial period. All caused by Geomagnetic Reversal or Geomagnetic Excursion. Which is caused by the Sun on a 6,000/12,000/24,000 cycles of Geomagnetic Excursion and an approximate 450,000 cycle of Geomagnetic Reversal, though it has been 780,000 since our last one. Rapid heating during, rapid cooling following. Like with the Gothenburg Excursion and the following Younger Dryas, only with a full Chron Reversal the effects with be much more severe, and the Geomagnetic Poles will flip and the Geographic Poles will greatly shift. This is also why the Earth's rotation is speeding up, and the inner core's rotation is speeding up. Which is what will cause great earthquakes and will be the catalyst for the worldwide simultaneous volcanic eruptions because of the increased outer core pressure increases that will push magma. So seek GOD, or High Elevation in a mountain, or both?

@@williamabbott9437 You need serious medical intervention for your delusions.🤷‍♂️

I grew up in the Bitterroot. The Western mountain range is stereotypical American Rocky Mountains. Huge, dramatic rocky peaks and sheer cliffs. The Eastern range features gently rolling hills of soft, sandy earth. I looked at those mountains every day for decades. And I always wondered what the hell could have scooped all that soft soil right off the rocky peaks to the west? The first time I listened to Carlson I recall simply nodding my head and saying “Of course he’s right...” as I imagined the landscape of my home. Turns out I may have grown up right where the damn thing ended up. LOL.

@@DemoDick1 Funny to think that this picture of serene tranquility from your youth was, just a short while ago (geologically-speaking), a scene of TOTAL destruction. A vastly-upscaled child's sandcastle, toppled by the wake of a passing speedboat.

@@HANKTHEDANKEST Exactly. It’s beautiful until you look closely. Then it’s beautiful, and terrifying.

No way?!?! I've been to that region so many times and I've never noticed, that's sososososo fascinating to think about

Been looking at the hills in Sioux City very differently now

End moraines in east central Illinois my man. Maps, plate tectonics, and geological time make me lose my shit. Check out professor Nick zentner (sp?) From central Washington university. He's a natural educator, and goes over all this.

@@zitools randal carlson. Opened my eyes to some crazy stuff. The history we are taught, is not the way it went down...

@@victorcaldwell2900 do you have specific links or videos to watch from Randal carlson?

I think it's interesting because this is likely the period responsible for ancient religions telling of massive floods and the stories of Atlantis. It must have been wild seeing the Mississippi flood several hundred feet and carve the soon to be cliffs around Alton, IL.

Indeed. I found a rock near Bridgend in Wales that looked EXACTLY like the "meteorite" shown here.

and did not acknowledge whose video he was using.

Nick zentner is the best Eastern Washington geologist in the whole country.. (edit) yeah I know he's in "central" Washington, but the west siders lump it all together, right? jmpo

Or Randall Carlson.

He’s in western Washington fwiw

Damn right Hit up the Zentner!

You met it , it sorta ran over me .

Randall tends to ignore the dating of the last floods being 14-15000 years ago. saying it happened at 12900. the impact didn't cause the Missoula floods. we know when they happened.

@@Kalroy3936 How do you know when?

@@Kalroy3936 False. Randall Carson has talked about Melt Water Pulse 1A (14 - 15 KYA) many times during his podcast series. Also, those were NOT the last major floods. There were comparable floods around 12.9KYA and again around 11.6KYA along with additional "lesser" but still significant floods in between

@@steveballzack1409 watch Nick Zentner. he has a youtube channel. professor at Central Wa University. we know when because of volcanic ash layers, ie mt. St. Helens. we can date those eruptions from undisturbed areas and match the compositon of the ash.

Lived in Bloomington for 3 yrs in my mid twenties. Best time of my life & spent many a weekend roaming around the dirt roads in Yellowwood, Morgan Monroe, Hoosier Ntnl & other forests around Brown County. Now live in Nashville and love it but miss Bloomington. Cheers sir.

Thats interesting.... Now I am seeing caves as giant water cannons cutting the rock from below, not above. Fascinating possibility. Can you recommend anywhere to get /see maps or scans of the caves in that area???

I live in Bedford south of Bloomington and love caving. I know the aria extremly well. The aria near Browntown indicate a large water flow. next time your in that aria just drive around 135 to I65.

I would like to learn more about what I can see in the midwest since I still work and have limited time for this hobby. I have hiked some of the cliffs in Southern Indiana south of Larry Birds home town. I plan to also try to visit the Mounds in Southern Illionois where I live and the serpent mounds in Ohio.

@@neilmarshall5087 There are oceans under the oceans, beside the oceans. And at one point, some say ocean above the oceans?

We in Connecticut are well aware of the results of that retreating ice sheet that's why there's so many stone walls in Connecticut every piece of land here within 50 miles of the coast is strewn you cannot put a garden in without getting wheelbarrows filled with rocks many of which started out up in Canada

Regarding the flat area by Prince George if he ever take a footlong piece of 2x4 put it on the ground hit it with a hammer you're going to leave a depression behind the hammers the comet the board is the ice sheet and you can see the depression that it leaves without any Mark of the hammer itself

How does an ice sheet existing in prehistory get a name?

@@Jarmezrocks they name it by geographic feature. Laurentide because it blasted out down the St Laurence river into the ocean.

@@tapalmer99 also the ice sheet was who really knows 1-2 miles thick and all that weight that was resting on the northern parts for however many years when it melted that land sprang up and apparently it still is on some places. That would have been interesting to document after the raging waters went through the decompression northern US AND Canada. That situation could have masked the subtle traces of that impact that most likely hit the ice sheet

Could you tell me where you saw the animated film? I'd like to have it to show in class.

@@suzanneoconnell6741 I wish I could! I've looked for it a few times, but I never could find it again. It clearly showed _how_ water (and the rock, debris, and ice it carried) carved and drilled the landscape as it did. I think that "scablands" was in the title of the film. I just searched using that, "Missoula" (because of the giant lake there), "flood", "megaflood", "ice age", "ice dam" and "Bonneville". I found some relevant videos, but unfortunately, not the animated film I first saw.

@@suzanneoconnell6741 I also saw a great video about the scablands ice age floods. It’s from the PBS DIGITAL guys I believe it had Hank Green in it.

@@williamabbott9437 Yikes! I never heard or read about most of what you mention. I know that the Earth's magnetic field has reversed in the past, and there is a possible danger of the Atlantic Gulf Stream slowing/halting due to the warming oceans (that will be devastating, if it happens).

I talk to a lot of geologists, and behind closed doors, all but one say that anthropogenic climate change is bull. The climate is ALWAYS changing. What are your thoughts?

When do we get our rocks back?

@@BrianZinchuk Also a geologist - but one who absolutely believes anthropogenic climate change is NOT a bunch of bull. Certainly the climate has always changed, BUT it has never (in the last few hundred million years at least) undergone change at the rate it has done in the last couple of hundred years. Humanity’s effects on the planet started off incredibly small, but as the population grew and we started cutting down more and more trees to burn in our campfires, they started adding up. Over time, humans stripped the Sahara and much of Northern Africa of its forests, changing the regional climate. We started digging up coal and burning it in the rising number of cities. We burned it to power the factories making stuff people kept inventing, and then more demand for more stuff for more people, in an ever increasing spiral. Then we added that lovely, convenient new fuel called oil, so we kept inventing new ways to burn it and make stuff and move it around. All that crap is now going into the air, and yeah it’s having plenty of effects. Yes, the planet has gotten plenty warm before, we are evolved as a product of a fairly long cool era of glacial and interglacial periods. Just because the ‘normal’ condition of the planet is warmer than today’s climate, doesn’t mean we are going to like it. The biosphere is adapted to present conditions. Some species will adapt to warmer temps. Many will not. Some will adapt by migrating to higher elevations or higher latitudes. Many can’t do so, limited by geographical barriers or speed of reproduction. Humans have built cities and ports and vast numbers of people live just barely above sea level. As the ice continues to melt at the poles and in our mountains, the seas *will* continue to rise. If we don’t accept that change is happening and a damn sight faster than ever before in our history, civilization is going to really really screwed. So your other geologists are not looking at the right data, I’m afraid.

@@BrianZinchuk I personally have to ask how these so called experts can predict what the weather is going to be like, down to a fraction of a degree 30 years into the future, when they can't even get it right a week down the road. And at the same time, the same people that started this whole global warming crap, before it became climate change, and said that the costal regions around the world are going to be underwater soon, are buying up as much ocean front property as they can to make their homes. Odd to say the least...

@@BrianZinchuk Sounds like cap. Ever since humans became industrialized, we have have no records for hundreds of thousands of years of an ever climbing rate of carbon dioxide as now. Do we know for certain human presence is the cause? Of course not. Is it something worth to keep in mind rather than calling bull, when this is but one of many data points showing an odd coincidence between the climate and humans going industrial? I obviously do not know the full story of these conversations you've had, but to brush off humans affecting the climate as being bull is really just lazy and intellectually dishonest.

There were 90+ Missoula Floods. A cometary rubble pile immediately succeeding the Missoula Floods, and perhaps another cometary rubble pile ending the Younger Dryas.

@@jonglewongle3438 OHHHH,right. Those dang cometary rubble piles! I stub my toe on those suckers all the time. 😊

@@williambock1821 Cometary rubble piles. Will I ever get over it ? But there had to be at least one of those before or after the Younger Dryas. Probably two, but differing in ejecta modes. It is either that or solar bursts to explain the rapid deglaciation and overnight rise in sea levels at the end off the Younger Dryas. But there was 90+ Missoula Floods, occurring in regular cycles. They have the depositional layers. Some layer sites are less than 90 because they all involved variant courses and flows, but one or more sites is 90+ layers.

We have some land out here in the Mojave that has lots of clear nights. Want to trade a few nights?

@@MeltedPearls Miigwetch thank you

The problem with that is that at that scale ice is a terrible construction material, especially when constantly being worked on by the water it would be holding back. There was never any ice dam situation in Montana.🤡🤡🤦‍♂️💩💩👎🙄

It could've been a giant pit of quicksand that the animals were stumbling into over the years. There's an exposed cut of rock out West that has a large section of assorted dinosaur skeletons jumbled together in a pile. They don't know if they were swept away in a flood or stepped into quicksand since there's predators here and there in the mix that might of slipped in while chasing their prey.

I'd love to make one

You are referring to Nick Zentner at Central Washington State University, professor of Geological Sciences. Had the video maker consulted Nick Zentner's video series rather than Carlson, he would not have made so many foolhardy claims regarding what geologists know.

@@willbradley7450 So, you've never BOTHERED to watch any of Randall Carlson's amazing videos -- that are exceedingly well-referenced by both peer-reviewed papers AND BY PHYSICAL observation of the evidence OF catastrophic destruction? Just as Nick does, Randall WALKS where he talks about!! But you discard him without knowing anything of his work? Randall's vids are astonishing for SHOWING the scars and results OF the great floods -- AND how they cannot POSSIBLY have been caused as the uniformitarians claim they were.

@@societylost4344 😲

Thanks for pointing this out. Catastrophism is fun to play around with, but I don't think it is the "obvious" conclusion unless you are actively looking for it. I'm from the four corners area and as an amateur geologist it's pretty clear that the landscape was not created by a huge downpour 12,000 years ago. Water? Absolutely. A handful of catastrophic storms? Not likely. A lot of these processes are ancient and complex and can't be reduced to something as simple as an asteroid impact or torrential rain. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that a lot of this stuff goes around just because it's used as justification for fringe archaeology theories :/

@@sludge3025 You should look into the work of Ben Davidson of Suspicious Observers, or Douglas Vogt of the Diehold foundation. They both are proponents of a world cataclysm that occurs every 12000 years or so, due to a micro nova from the sun. This micro nova causes the ice ages, pole flip, massive flooding that sweeps across the north American continent from west to east. This theory is well documented and at least 7 previous cataclysms have been observed in the earth's geology. This flooding is unrelated to the scab lands, but I agree with Mr. Ransom, that the scab lands flooding is most likely due to Glacial lake Missoula.

Randall can debunk that argument

@@manbearpig710 Not true, Randall reached out to Ben in June of 2020 and he now recognizes that the sun does have a part to play in the world wide cataclysms, not just comets.

@@jmn93065 well yeah cuz the dryas was two events. Sure it could of been two asteroid events or comets but more like a separate event occurred for one of the two events. A lot of rock in Egypt is burned so yeah probably a solar flare at one point in time

Lots of people had that theory. Randal Carlson took that apart and basically "it doesn't hold water", just like ice dams. 🤣😂🤣🤣 The proof is that every single ice dam found to date fails when the water it is holding back gets more than about 10 15 feet deep. So unless their was magical ice back then...

I am convinced the Missoula flood was a single event.
