Earth: The Inside Story FULL SPECIAL | PBS America 

As opposed to where?

The only lifeforce in our known universe. The only chance of survival we have as a species. If we mess this one up we’re goners!

I think we're lucky to live.

But if I was in California I would be nervous, I'm in fla , so I'm still nervous, but just at hurricane season , but it's not for long & earthquakes give u no rest ! 💝

@Albert John Things are getting dicey, and the sad part is that a lot of people won't realize how bad things are until it's too late.

The cost of living has gone up and the economy is in tatters.

@@ebonicalbert5711 I work two jobs which contributes a lot to my family and with this current inflation it's increasing been difficult, make an okay income but the price of things keeps increasing, it's sad.

@Febian Jones I've always had a keen interest in the market, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

@Febian Jones Thank you for the response. I would like to contact her to learn more about the market, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

What, use a phone, or s. At TV look up, it's called CC button, this video like all, have closed captions fyi 👍,

@@daleval2182 not this one, when I hover pointer over CC button on lower left of RU-vid video player it says "Subtitles/Closed Captions Unavailable"

@@daleval2182shoulda double checked before being an ass

that was actually an alien birth pod, sort of like a chicken egg. ET aliens have been placing those pods in areas were they will not be found, so you got lucky

@@rhuephus 🤫😏

Wait a second, a foot long with no sharp edges you say? Are you describing my anatomy?

It was probably slag. It is extremely, extremely rare to find meteorites in nature, unless you scour ice ablation zones in Antarctica, particularly on areas of blue ice, or certain deserts, such as the Sahara or Arabian deserts, where tektites can accumulate over time, because they are extremely dry, which helps preserve their reactive chemistry, and no precipitation or sediment can cover them. Most meteorites found these days are found on such expeditions to Antarctica.

Probably worth $100,000.

You and your husband must be very fond of each other

And so you’re saying all of this nothing came from nothing and a big bang from nothing that caused all of this nothing to appear. You are positively insane.

@@bradbuckner9496 until physical, undisputable, evidence can prove beyond any doubt that some mystical wizard is responsible for the creation of all these natural wonders, I'm sticking with what educated, trained scientist are discovering and proving. And if there is some god-like figure to thank, which one of the 1000 recognized gods do we owe our gratitude. I left the religious cult world long ago and don't regret it one bit. Having an appreciation and understanding of science actually makes the physical world more sensible and far more entertaining. Religious ideology will only take you so far. Just like Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy, Heaven, Hell, Gods, and devils are all make believe. I've grown comfortable and appreciative of what life truly is and can be having accepted that fact.

Chewbacca Mom and cooking dinner

@@davidkelter8379 I like both. I believe there is a Supreme Creator Being and that the Big Bang and evolution are the means through which they created.

@@Isawwhatyoudid I respect your view. But until there is hard evidence validating the Supreme creator theory, I have to side with science.

It has been shown that "slab pull" is even more powerful than "ridge push". These are the two main forces in seafloor creation. Is "slab pull" what you mean when you say "drag"? I agree, the earth is such a dynamic planet. I never tire of trying to learn more about it.

What is most amazing is that humans can gain this level of knowledge by sheer observation and tested conjectures. By sharing intellect. This despite a propensity for know nothing politics!

@@harrietharlow9929 Very few are speaking to the fact earth has a molten mantel complete with convection currents, the convection currents must be recognized as the driving force behind wrenching the continents, the plates apart and causing subduction. Like watching a huge chunk of a cinder cone that broke off, and watch it be carried away on top of flowing lava. Think of a big observatory telescope, some 400 ton, floating on liquid mercury, the crust and the liquid mantle gives the same result and if if the mantle is on the move because of convection, the crust is going to move along with it. When 2 pieces of crust come together, one that is more flexible will bend and follow the path of least resistance, downwards, under the more massive continent.

@@lotharschiese8559 Well, yes, agreed. That is, of course, the man driver of plate tectonics. This was intuited by Arthur Holmes as far back as 1940. In his " "Principles of Physical Geology", he posits mantle convection as the mechanism of continental drift. But if I am understanding subduction correctly, the operative mechanisms are "ridge push" and "slab pull" and of the two, "slab pull" is the stronger and more influential.

@@harrietharlow9929 do you believe in elves

this is only a theory. Sounds more like fictional movie, but people will believe anything thats sounds unreal

​@@enjoythedreamlife5658While it's a theory, it's the closest we have to the truth and it's pretty accurate

You must be a Democrat. Sad.

Things no matter what size that are colliding at extreme velocities explode on impact blowing them apart. There is no account for how anything could Bond upon impact. That would be impossible. Therefore, their explanation is as much of an illogical 'fairy tail' as Dinosaur bones being hundreds of billions of years old. The Great Pyramids are said to about 6-8 k years old and just look at them. They look horrible due to erosion. Look at how much these multi-ton Solid Slabs of Stone have eroded. They'll be nothing but dust in how many years? How should I know? I know they can't be here in 500k years but let's ignore common sense and say 5million years (which is ridiculous). I know what a fossil is but the fossilized bones of an animal is Not capable of being anything but dust after hundreds of millions of years. Why do people who believe in climate change live exactly like or worse than people who they actively attack and harm for exposing the reasons climate change is being used by Dems to garner more control over people. Dems have complete control over cities with the most Poverty, violence, inequality. In other words their policies have created and perpetuated more pain and suffering than any other reason or factors, Dems refuse to secure the S. Border. They went ape shit over Trump because he called for a wall. They stopped construction under Brandon despite it already paid for. Answer this simple question. Who do the Cartels Profit more from having in power in DC? A. Dems who refuse to secure the border. OR B. Trump n his Wall. Ok, nobody says cartels profit more from Trump. They don't. They profit from having Dems in power. Do I need to connect the dots. If you vote for Dems you give Cartels a Green Lught. How could you be so revolting n obtuse?

huh? what was kept from many of us?

The whole phenomenon of drag (slab pull?) is fascinating, at least to me. Another thing found out is that the Juan De Fuca plate is subducting at an extremely shallow angle. I understand that its predecessor, the Farallon, subducted at a similarly shallow angle which influenced the building of the Rocky Mountains. That surely has affected and still affects the North American Plate as well as the Juan De Fuca plates, yes? I'm just an amateur who wants to know more about the geological processes of our planet.

Drag on what? Molten rock magma ?

Yes, yoi understand how this clock ricks, but all the C02 is MANS FAULT according to PBS , never methane 😂🌍👍

yes can you explain how this force of drag is created? do you mean the lower levels of crust dragging by the magma and molten rock?

I’m sorry, but do you think our civilization survives the events that have happened in the earths past? They were pretty destructive, the ocean was an acid bath, the air was toxic, at several points the only life that could be sustained was very small. Which of those events do you wish to subject our blip of existence to before we ever take off as an interplanetary species?

@@YourMom-cu8yt Do you think that this earth is going to just remain like this forever and ever and ever? No. It will change and either humans will adapt to those changes, or they will be extinguished, just like every other creature that has come before us. I am not saying, in the least, that we should not take care of the planet in the best way we can, but you are delusional if you believe that the earth won't be hit by a massive asteroid again at some point. Or Yellowstone could destroy the planet as we know it. There are a MULTITUDE of ways that the earth could shake us off. What I'm saying is that the earth will do what the earth does and there is very little that we can do to stop the eventual destruction of humans on this planet. I can tell you that we are emphatically NOT all going to die in the next 10 years or so of some climate catastrophe. We were going to die from an impending ice age 40 years ago. All of this nonsense they are pushing about "climate change" is a money-making scheme for the Global Elitists. Look at the players. Check out the WEF. Klaus Schwab is quite the character, as are all of the other Davos crowd.

@@YourMom-cu8yt are you related to Chewbacca Mom?

@@YourMom-cu8yt dear Eve. i hope two of your sons become interplanetary travlers . jeff Bezos & Elon Musk . tell your boys once you leave home your on your own . you raised your boys to become insufferable egomaniacs . i don't care about Jefferys packages or Amazon Prime or Elons electric tonka cars. give them a final mommy kiss and happy trails etc. i hope they both get lost in space .

Could it be that BOTH are possible... simultaneously? In the past I could not know that someone on the other side of the world had just stubbed their toe... now We can be aware of devistating events almost instantaneously. That our tectonics OR OUTER cosmic events are ALSO creating change COULD also be concurrent. It need not be an Either / Or situation.

I think that the spin of the earth makes the Earth's crust shift.

🔥💦🕵🏾‍♂️🪨💥👀❓🧏🏾‍♂️ psychologically still wondering maybe the heat caused the moisture that has formed the oceans and lakes wouldn't that be something a very vast amount of moisture accumulation condensation that has to accumulated over the million billions of years just a thought haha not funny

And land area.

There's no extra weight. There's redistribution of some weight. But your intuition is somewhat right. The North American formerly under miles of glaciers is still rebounding from the release of that pressure. To the best of my knowledge, this is a gradual uplifting move that doesn't involve must seismic activity and doesn't involve the lateral movements of plates whatsoever.

I got really interested in geology after reading "Journey to the Centr of the Earth" and "The Mysterious Island. In the latter, there is a wonderful description of what can happen when lava and water meet.

@Tom Morrison We never covered it, I had to learn about it all by myself after seeing a documentary that mentioned it, (back when BBC did not stand for Biased Bigoted Crap TV) A lass called Maie Tharp made a huge advance in this field in the 1950s but she and her work went mostly un-acknowledged for decades, partly because of her sex and partly due to cold war secrete keeping.

Perhaps you should write your colleagues at the USGS and tell them your research leads you to different conclusions and ask them to review your paper before you seek to have it published.

Maybe they do know. 🤷‍♂️

Really. This video was produced by Satan. Are you a follower?

@@bradbuckner9496 Oh cmon now. You didn’t produce this.

The problem is we can only reach out and see so far… even the light from the furthest away galaxies are billions of years old… we have no idea what advancements in life have potentially occurred, and unless we fix our shit and stop making the world inhospitable to human life… we won’t be around long enough to ever find out

Never say never.

It is cooling, and doing so a lot faster than was estimated at the time this doc was made. It was thought that radiation from space had little to do with the cores rate of cooling but very recent experiments show that radiation can enhance heat extraction from the core to the mantle by approximately 50%.

The moon is one cause among many.

Any effect on plate tonics from the moon would be fairly small, but the main force in plate tectonics is convection in the mantle.

Moon's gravity effects earth's crust due to the movement of the moon around the earth, we are tidal, this works with suns gravitational pull and also adds to the effect of geothermatic forces within the earth's mantel. moons effects life breeding cycles as well as seasons.

Most of the heat in the earth's interior is generated by radioactive elements. There is relatively little heat remaining from the planet's formation. Some additional heat is generated by gravitational forces from the sun and moon.

Pure demonic bullshit!

There is none. It is pure conjecture, and not at all probable.

they have lots,tones of vids out there on it

There's the moon, and a bulge in the Earth's core
