Steve is a WiFi Guru! Yes most people get a router and don't change channels and everyone around the neighborhood is on those same channels. Missed live feed but watching! Cat Crack! That is funny.
Maggies Mom yeah, that was weird my gift was in your box! Maybe Amazon being environmentally conscious? Bijou is in for a good time with that Kitty Crack!
Seeing you getting choked up about Bob Dott reminded me that good teaching is only slightly about the content being taught. Good teaching is about empathy and facilitating experiences.
Nick !! - why you not use a Wi Fi repeater to cover you entire property and place it to get the strongest signal - also use the 5 GHz band - and use channel 1 or 11 for less interference !! - good luck !!
@Nick Zentner for future videos if you could include on the RU-vid page links to the Cozy Fort videos and others that you may have thought very relevant but decided against for time / other reasons it would probably help a lot of use better understand the material and some of the concepts. We LOVE your videos :)
Perhaps a more important question would be is the Basin and Range Extension similiar to the rifting taking place in Africa along the Great Rift Valley. And are the other regions on Earth where something similiar is happening. As to the cause in the Basin and Range I'm taking a stab at one of three things. A Super Plume of hot material. Or it is being caused by the remnant of either a Subduction Zone or a Spreading Center. If it's a Super Plume then the Basin and Range at some time in the future could well become a LIP
*MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF RECORDS:* To pass this course you must be able to describe the contexts in which the following events occur: (a) eating Wisconsin apples in a Wisconsin corn field; (b) audio of Bizet's Carmen; and (c) audio of Pachelbel's Canon in D. Failing that ==>> YOU MUST REPEAT THIS COURSE NEXT TERM!!
@@inigomontoya8929 No, it was in a Wisconsin cornfield, on a Wisconsin drumlin. Alongside US 12. Outside of Fort Atkinson. In Jefferson county. On the family farm. The apple. Possibly local. Possibly not. And the overalls are probably Oshkosk, b'gosh.
There is no Roadside Geology of the North & South Carolinas, but there are Roadsides of the "other" places on the East Coast. But, to summarize, granite rock, shale, limestone, clay, sand, ocean. Some gold, some quartz, some copper, etc.
I have a copy of Dott and Batten! It's got an orange cover. IIRC, I took the course in 1983. It's packed so I can't look to see what edition it is, but I've held onto it because it's a fascinating read.
Mapping past activity into the current location of the Pacific Northwest is fine with me. Then an occasional "the real location was at this location of the planet...at that point in time".
Mr. "Butterball" Kendrick (2 Kendricks. We liked him and he short, round, blonde and wore a lot of yellow) in 8th grade and Mr. Brackett in H.S. for me. Addicted to geology ever since!
Great session. First time we've really understood the Basin and Range and clockwise rotation. Sorry we can't join you live but have to take advantage of the good weather to do outside chores, while it lasts.

I've been going through this series again to prepare for Baja-BC, but now confused even more with the Sr .702 line with the Passive Margin on where the actual edge of the NA Craton meets the exotic terranes. So is Kettle Falls all passive margin but not craton underneath because it slopes under the Intermontane & German Chocolate Cake per the diagram, and actual craton doesn't start until... Montana, east of the Belt?
This is helping me make more and more sense of things. There are so many of the different types of rocks in the Okanogan / Omak area (even in my yard) and now it makes more sense for the why & how. That may be why the Okanogan area seems so complicated. Looking at the land around the area and maps of the area (and farther out) with the new information helps me to visualize it in motion (past and future). I also have wondered about rivers being associate with faults and noticed the old NA / exotic terrane line is where the Columbia River is and makes sense. This is WONDERFUL! :)
Maybe you'd already said this elsewhere, but that story with the Klamaths and the Blues, and how the Basin and Range crustal extension drives the clockwise rotation was wig-peeling.
as a person who was weaned on my mom's geology hobby, and as someone who studied geography in university (my minor that should have been my major in hindsight), am looking forward to this. Am also familiar with strike-sli faults; I live in Silicon Valley, with the San Andreas 10 mi to the w-and sw, hayward to the e/ne, and calaveras to the east. I do know that Nevada, and even Utah, are where inland seas used to be, where any rivers/streams drop down into the lower valleys and disappear into "sinks". Great Salt Lake is the best known and most visible, because it's an actual lake, but the Carson Sink is the remains of prehistoric Lake Lahontan. (posting this edit 41 min into the vid). I've driven across Nevada, going form the Bay Area back to visit kin in Montana (Madison Cy). Final edit: I recognized a few other thumbnails there; I see you subscribe to History Guy also LOL
A universal color scheme. Like that would happen. It's like metals suppliers in industry. Every supplier has their own color code the use for different alloys. They just can't get on the same page Aside from your brown color pencil you might need one of those 120 different color pencil sets.
Re method of teaching: Yes. You have to break it down, and start simple and build detail. It is hard for our minds to comprehend the slow, powerful forces that shape our world. Showing us what the car looked like before the accident is the only way to understand what it went through.
Viewing regularly from a fast connection in rural Germany, there has has NEVER been ANY "buffering" of your streams, either live or watching later when live wasn't possible. Your connections continue to be good. Bandwidth issues on the *viewer* end aren't something you can improve. All the *extra* time you spend responding to individual viewer issues blurted out in the chat seriously distracts from the otherwise stellar content.
'Z' has a wifi guy working on it. In addition he experienced a lot of issues a wile ago and wants to broadcast as strong as possible. And the US uses slower band width than Germany, OK
I was wondering the same. 'Z' is very busy now does not answer email q's etc. Ask in live chat + the new eraser??? Not to make excuses for him, he is very busy and dealing with CWU-covid Geol. courses etc.
No look for Prof's Z's past episodes on Yellowstone that is all NA craton movement over a stationary hot spot. OR the hot spot is stationary in the Earth's core and plate tectonics move
Basin and range has “stretch marks”. I can totally understand how natural expansion can cause them. Saw it happen to my skin as my belly expanded to give my kids room. 🤣😭
BROWN IS EASY TO REMEMBER FOR PASSIVE MARGIN BECAUSE IT'S THE COLOR OF MUD. (you can also say it's the color of sand). I think I can remember that. I think it's a good map color. WOW! I didn't realize that Oregon has rotated so much! That's almost 90 degrees! That's amazing!
Does the Basin and Range extension have any relation to the goose neck of the Columbia from Portland to the coast? I had heard conjecture that the reason the Columbia goes north at Portland has something to do with fault movement. Did the Basin and Range extension force the coast range of Oregon northward?
The Columbia goes north at Portland has something to do with fault movement. that specific part of the columbia has that jog or direction due to the clockwise rotation thus it is connected to the basin and range movement. However, you have coastal mountains upthrust due to subduction. These are 2 factors as to why Columbia goes north at Portland, but there is more. Google and research
As for Did the Basin and Range extension force the coast range of Oregon northward? "Z" will be getting into that type of movement more extensively as we continue the series
Suggestion: learn to use your description to link to other videos you use in your cosy fort. If sounds and glaring interfere people can use those links to see these videos on their own terms.
Thank you Prof Nick, love all the time to learn about where I live and the rocks and roads traveled on and along too. Nice towny to help with connection concerns. Nice gift for your cat too.
