Geology 15 (Faults, Folds, and Joints) 

Who’s that?

Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm trying to get the rest of the videos posted so that all the topics will be covered fully. Thank you for deciding to study geology, even if you have to do it all on your own. I think you'll find it very fulfilling.

@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX I wrote about the stages of creating the Earth and the sky from docking to separation, then raising the sky, then exploding a luminous mass that led to the formation of galaxies and stars,

@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX The climate fluctuates a lot. The earth swelled after a variety of pressures, there were areas that were sea and where deposition then became plateaus and climbed due to pressures and bloating of the earth until they became spherical and the mountains are large not belonging to the Earth and they descended for the stability of the crust

@@tadabbor.quran.tanabboaat2029 peddle your pseudoscience somewhere else

Check out my comment today. If you love Geology take a cruise from on Rt 22 going west out of Harrisburg PA.

I had a hard time following your geologic, but that’s probably my Fault.

@@kathrynchamberlin3405 😅👍

Love this!

Thank you for this comment. Indeed, I made a conscious effort to appeal to both auditory and visual learners in this video and I am thrilled that it has had the success that it has had. Folds, faults, and joints are a tough subject for so many beginning students so I am thrilled that this approach seems to have worked out well. I am also working hard on getting it fully subtitled...a very tedious task but well worth getting done. Once that is completed, I'll be on to the next new video.

Late on my response as I was without internet for a spell. I have watched numerous dissertations on Geology as I believe it is clearly one of the most important awareness's we can retain. I watch a lot of Nick on the Rocks, and Randall Carlson, for the most part. I came across your work and it just clicked. I think you should make a video series between 3-4 videos, and market it to all educational facilities everywhere. It should be used as a standard curriculum across middle/high schools and colleges across the US, as well as other countries. If we are ever going to understand any other planet anywhere in the universe, then we must understand our own. It is by far, the most complex planet that we have acknowledged thus far, as it pertains to geology. If we understand our planet as thoroughly as possible, then we are clearly capable of understanding all others. It is such a fluke thing that we are here to begin with. Without our earth's tilt, the magnetic field, ozone layer, our oceans, plate tectonics, meteorite impacts, volcanism, as well as countless other factors, we would never have come into existence. We must realize this if we are going to continue to exist. We must eradicate narcissism, as nothing intervenes more with the progress of scientific awareness than that.

Thank you for studying with me. I deeply appreciate the encouraging comments.

Hi, from Chicago, IL USA. The same goes for me and subscribed.

Hello My dad was a Geologist and has passed on I'm 64 and so miss our visits and talks about geology and this interesting orb we live on. Thank you so much for your visual support as well as the vocabulary and examples of what we use to talk about! This is my first time to watch your videos. Look forward to watching the others you have made and will make in the future. Blessings and thank you. I agree with Maxine E.

Just wait till you're packing rock books into the backcountry and rocks out of it. No other group other than geologists and rockhounds call this "fun." I think you're onto something with the old bones theory.

I feel like it has to do with experience combined with knowledge. When you’re 10 and your parents drag you to Lassen Volcanic National Park, it’s a 3 on the awesome scale. When you’re 18 and you can see a barb wire fence tilting from the impacts of slope creep, and you can see which part of the hill side is stable and where it isn’t, that’s a 4 on the awesome scale. When you’re 35, and you get to drag bored kids around, you get to stop and look at examples of things you read about in a text book.

Thanks Andrew! I always appreciate your input!

Glad I could help!

Me too. I could do an entire lecture series on the nuances, stuctures, and complexities in folds alone. Maybe once I get through publishing this freshman class level stuff I may add that to the growing list of topics to cover, it would be fun.

@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX it would be! I always love the look on their faces when you introduce the stereonet to them. As I’ve gotten older graphically solving structural problems is a lot easier than trying to do it on a calculator. Yes. I still do a lot of it by hand. Because I’m old.

I still plot my stereonets by hand too. It’s an art form. lol

Thank you!

Thanks for that!

just had a huge revelation about the mountains in Waterton Park. The top rock is older than the lower rock. I think I am understanding more how that happened. WOW, just awesome. I will go back nd watch more of your hard work good Sir. hehehe you tickled my grey matter.

Thank you so much! Glad you are studying with me!

You're very welcome!

Much appreciated!

I’m also watching from Spokane Washington USA 👍👍👍

@@richardsilva-spokane3436 I grew up there but it's not the place it was in the 60's and 70's. A lot of people don't know Spokane was put on the map by The Mob. They built the city after it burned down and managed it quite well until the liberals took it over. I've moved on and live in a remote area of The Selkirks. We have wonderful geology and I'm totally wrapped up in the ice age floods that shaped the area to include most of Washington, Northern Idaho and parts of Montana.

@@sluggou812beotch Hah! We’re birds of a feather! Yeah, the Glacial Lake Missoula really intrigues me, too…that, and the Flood Basalt region in north central Washington. It’s all an amazing place for our little corner of the planet. I had a really good instructor at SFCC back in the 80s (last name Humphreys) taught astronomy. I often recall and appreciate his teaching and enthusiasm, too. Yes (true) the Progressives are embedded everywhere, turning the country upside down. I envy you your new living location. I dream of living in the middle of 10-20 acres, away from the crowd with a good mix of trees, open space, and dark skies at night. Cheers!!!!

Glad to have you studying with me!

Next one is on the Geology of Mountains. Hopefully have it posted this week!

Thanks for studying with me!

😃

I'm remaking a bunch of them now and trying to do an improved job over the original ones I have posted. I have also had to renumber the lecture videos, so 21 is now the deserts video.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I agree, Nick is a real superstar and I'm a big fan of his.

Thanks for studying with me!

I have an older documentary video that does show that but I have not posted it yet. It needs some editing and I need to put some thought into it first.

@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX thanks for replying , & that would be more than fantastic. I've been jumping around Y T soaking up as much information as possible on this topic from the very informative and sensible to the utterly ridiculous & insane (..only my opinion...) it seems like a very broad and understudied subject with many unanswered questions.....or maybe unaskable (probably not a word) would be an easier way yo phrase it. Hopefully I'll tick a couple of boxes by then. Looking forward to it whenever & however regardless.I can barely type so I can just imagine how editing a video etc must be. Appreciated you are.

Que bom que você está aqui!

Thanks for studying with me!

Long story there. lol I'll probably do a historical geology series that includes a full description of that situation.

You should learn to map the geology in that region. There are lots of mineral resources there.

Plate not player

It's believed by many geologsits to have formed in response to the building of the Appalachian Mountains to the east (I discuss this event in "Geology 16 - Mountains" but do not discuss the basins there because there is so much to cover on mountains). Syndepositional loading in Illinois and Michigan during uplift of the mountains are believed to have promoted the downwarping.

@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX man thank you. You've helped me so much for my world building. I've always struggled with how mountains will form and how basins will form and this helps so much keep up the great work.

The best textbook written for beginning geology students in English is this one: www.amazon.com/Exploring-Earth-Introduction-Physical-Geology/dp/0130183725/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2D9DVGNEVA46K&dchild=1&keywords=reed+davidson+geology&qid=1635173569&sprefix=reed+davidson+geology%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-1

Yes. He runs away when confronted with actual evidence that contradicts his delusions.

@@WorldWokeApeCult that's a lie.

Your a fraud

@@jasondavis1502 Roger is a fraud. Study actual geology and figure it out for yourself.

@@WorldWokeApeCult you are a fraud sir. Is ALL BIOLOGY.

Most mountains? Which ones are not trees?

I just watched one of his videos where he says those mountains he has claimed are trees he was saying we're actually tendons and veins like in our body.

Very good deep stuff here. Nice work.

Wish we could calculate the frequency and wavelength of that fold at 19:24 I wonder if the old miners were ever gaslighted in their day? at 37:25 lol

RU-vid premium removes the ads. I use it and I highly recommend it to all my viewers. Definitely worth the small monthly fee.

Yes

East Africa is rifting away from the rest of the continent but northern edge of the African Plate is colliding with Europe and pushing up the Alps and the Carpathian Mountains.

It’s not an easy topic so I tend to take some extra time going through it.

En poco tiempo, viene

@@EarthandSpaceSciencesX 👏👏👏👏👍🙏

I wouldn’t count on it. lol
