Geology 16 (Mountains) 

This professor is the one who really DESERVES the million dollar salary instead of the sports coaches who just feed players into the pro sports machine..this guy actually CONTRIBUTES to the betterment of society by helping educate our population.

This is fantastic. I watch Nick Zentner's geology videos but I am a 72 year old retiree and don't know some of the basics. Your explanations and charts and details are extremely helpful. I have subscribed and look forward to going back and starting with the beginning.

Your lectures are fantastic. Combined with other sources my knowledge and interest is only going in one direction. Thank you.

Welcome back Professor Day! Missed you. You deliver the best lectures I've seen online. Plus, you set me straight on the Shoshone vitrophyre. Thank you.

Fascinating. The cycling of Earth’s crust is mind boggling.

I'm so grateful for your videos on Geology, environmental science, and oceanography...I am so interested in planetary geology, and it would be absolutely delightful for you to cover the geology of each planet, including the little guy, Pluto and it's companion, Charon..oh, and please don't exclude the largest moons in our neighborhood as well, if you decide to cover the wonders of our solar system...you are an excellent teacher, and I sometimes wonder why I became a chef instead of a scientist🤔

Very interesting! Thank you for explaining back-arc basins. I never understood them all that well, but you cleared that up for me. Your channel is my newest reason for referring to RU-vid as my free university!

The enthusiasm and knowledge are mountainous!

Thank you for your time and effort in putting together these lessons. 👏

One of the coolest lectures I've had in a while. Great information here.

Excellent lecture and you have answered so many of the things I was confused with.

Excellent discourse on a subject that has always intrigued me.

You've helped me understand my geology class so much better! I appreciate the hard work you've put into these series. Thanks for sharing :)

Quite interesting. Thank you for your time and efforts in putting this content out for the general public.

Thank you for making such a great video available for amateurs like myself.

Fascinating lecture, thank you! I'm a complete science nut & love nothing more than getting those _"a-ha!"_ lightbulb moments, and I had quite a few during this lecture including mountain erosion & isostatic adjustment, which suddenly clicked for me.... off to check out your back catalog & looking forward to the next one!🗻👍🌋

Wonderfully accessible intros to Big Geology. Thank you.

Having grown up on the flank of the Rift Valley in Kenya, I naturally was drawn to matters geological but never thought I’d have been smart enough to go to university and become a geologist. If I had know there would be wonderfully informed people like this imparting their knowledge, I probably would have tried 😎. Wow geology has advanced in my lifetime, I am sure I first read about plate tectonics in a National Geographic in the 1960s, where it was presented as a “new” concept.

Very pleased to see you back. This is a really interesting lecture, to me especially as I live in the Pacific Northwest on the edge of Puget Sound. I am looking forward to your next lectures.

Thanks much love all your lectures and presentations !

Thank you, never get enough of these lectures =)

You make me want to go back to school...and I'm 44 years old! Thanks for the knowledge!!

I really enjoyed this lecture . Thank you for uploading .

Your lectures are amazing and help clear up a lot of my questions. Anyway to get the PPT that you use in the lecture?? Once again thanks for a great video. 😁

It would be cool to see if the advances in terrain LiDAR could look deep enough to study mountains.

*The Grand Passage Tomb.* The Newgrange monument is located in Ireland and was constructed over fifty-two-hundred years ago, it defines the winter solstice and celebrates a rebirth of the Sun. "Let the Sunshine In." E pluribus Unum. Have a "Grand" holiday season. Rock-on, thank you.

Every single one of your lectures are so brilliantly organized and presented. This one in particular I listened to as during through Montana and can’t wait to actually watch it with notebook in hand. Definitely the best in this field of study. Dr, David Pearson is now the close second. I must ask if I may sir, which is the best geology text book that presents all this material as efficiently as you do in your lectures? Thank you for everything you’re doing.

One thing I didn't understand, and would appreciate some help: how are the batholiths uplifted (as in the case of sierra nevada) ? I guess the plates' movement do it, but am not sure whether the slides show how that next step happens. Also in 55:21 figure **C** I see. I think you explained that in fault-block mountains.

gorgeous pictures & great content , thank you : )

thank you GREAT LECTURE !!!!

An amazing lecture, really interesting and clearly explained.

I am a historian (and former carpenter), but with a curious mind and wants to make certain the mountains in my homebrew roleplaying campaign are accurate (that carpenter-historian mind wanting accuracy always). I also lived in Sisimiut for three years, and Greenland is a geologically very interesting place even to an ignorant like me (not entirely ignorant 30 minutes in, I have not learned anything new, I expect that to come).

I’m a retired firefighter who likes to travel, camp, hike, etc. Over the past two summers I have been able to visit some interesting places (I.e. Valley of fire, NM, Devils tower, ND, Crater Lake, OR, Glacier NP, MT, Yellowstone, WY, Craters of the Moon, ID, and Shiprock, NM). These places ignited my curiosity of geology which brought me to your videos. I had some very basic knowledge but your videos are so jammed packed with information that it may take me a couple of viewings to catch it all. What text would you suggest I get to supplement your lectures?

Thank you for your lectures and the new courses you posted. I hope you write a book :)

The mountain view in the intro would work greatly with Lord of th Rings music

Aha! Another one of those... Thanks again!

👋 👋 Howzit going. Thanks for this video. I live on a Craton. I'm trying to find more information about the Magaliesburg Mountains, Gauteng, South Africa 🇿🇦, which is +/- 2 billion years old. ❤️❤️👍👌👍

Grateful for your videos. Thank you

Listening to the very end of the lecture about South Africa and wondering if it is a precursor to something like the Siberian or Deccan Traps where a whole area becomes volcanic over a very long time leading to mass extinctions? I was thinking that in geologic time in might be soon but that might be a million years or so.

Thank you for these wonderful lectures ❤ i am addicted to watching them and looking for the next one you said you would do at the end of this video: the death of mountains (landslides and mass wasting) and i cannot find it 😭 please did you record this lecture in the end and where can i find it?

great stuff! glad to sub

It is widely understood the moons influence on ocean tides and currents. What is it's gravitational influence on geological structures and plates tectonic events.

I have heard that Joints can be found in all parts of the World regardless of what kind of Rock it is and it's GeoChemistry. Professor, would you.Agree? I also understand they can be very Naturally Occuring in the Limestones. Is this True?

Fascinating stuff. Thank you

Yes, well done !! 😍😊😎🎶😃✨

Geology rocks, but geography’s where it’s at.

You should do a video on Tony Grove -area Utah! That place is insane.

Thank you! 😃

I just subscribed and liked the video. I've been watching Nick Zentner's videos and love road trips, so I went up to Central Washington's University Campus in Ellensberg WA and met him. What a guy! This video answered a lot of the questions that his videos created for me. I grew up in California and learned the subduction / Pluton, batholith story of the Sierra Nevada as I grew up. What is your story?

I really love watching video of your lectures, thank you for explaining we all appreciate you thank you Sir🙂

Great lessons! Thanks!

I want episode 17 RIGHT MEOW

What about the Llano Uplift in Central Texas?

Why is gold silver our minerals found under these mountains .. must be things going on under them

Maybe if the other plate was willing to subduct first, without being asked, then hotter, younger plates wouldn’t mind subducting.

THANKS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏

🙏👍👍👍

I thought the exact same thing that looks just like a Bob Ross painting I was even looking at it how he would have painted it

Please make video about Ukrainian shield(geological structure)

Hey, who you calling igneous?

The Grand Canyon is perhaps the best place to study if you wan to know the truth about where all the sedimentary layers came from and more importantly, how they came to be. The first important thing to note is that there is no erosion of any kind between the layers, from the rim of the canyon all the way down 4000 feet to the Colorado River. There is no passage of time. This is true of the sediments in every direction from the Grand canyon, all the way across the entire globe. This is our very first indication that the earth, and especially the sedimentary layers, are not millions or 100's of millions of years old. In 1980, Mt St Helens erupted. The material and rock that came out of the volcano transformed the landscape, laying down sedimentary layers up to 600 ft thick. 2 years later, seismic activity caused mud flows down the slopes, carving out canyons in the sediments and deep into solid bedrock, creating canyons 100's of ft deep, all in a couple of days. These catastrophic events are very compelling evidence that the earth is not very old, and that the Grand Canyon was carved out in just weeks, not millions of years.

where is lecture 17 ??

Very interesting lectures with a lot of detailed information. It is all about Plate Tectonics. I know that Expansion Tectonics is mostly dismissed by geologists. Observations on other planets and moons present data about volcanic activities and plumes of emitted gas. There is however no subduction observed. This might lead to new insights about Expansion. Perhaps we should review the dismissed theory of Expansion Tectonics on earth. It's clear that there is subduction, but the spreading of the ocean floor could be bigger than the subduction. Especially looking at the huge mountains that arise in subduction zones.

... well earth if size of billiard ball would be smooth to touch, , so gravity and weak rock sorta mean no mtn is massive, , , just to take opposite view..

✅. Rehwinkel’s “The Flood” is an excellent resource for historical and scientific analysis of Genesis 6-8. The publication is dated 1951 so obviously some of the scientific knowledge is dated. The concept of plate tectonics, for instance, wasn’t developed till the late 1950’s and 60’s. However the explanation and analysis of antediluvian history and the discoveries in archeology are, I believe, unparalleled in any other work on the subject, from a distinctly theocratic perspective.

it would be good if it were translated into Portuguese other languages, it's a pity that in Brazil this type of study is "limited"

Look at the dinosaur back, Head left , tail is right side.

Thumbnail icon looks like a Bob Ross painting.

Rocks; Rock

I get it, but for me a volcano is not a mountain... it's a time bomb!

Hello Uzbekiston🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿

Were I live is a mountain, Hawaii is a volcano, my mountain is cold and dead... Hawaii is alive and kicking! Definitely a difference between the two... calling them both a mountain is hypercritical to me....

I think the earth squeeze the land because of the volcanoes and the plates and the land under and over the sea moving and exploding ? (Before lecture)

i was here

all mountains are either sedimentary or volcanic in their origin

How did all these layers occur so nicely horizontal 11,000 feet on top of each other all over the planet? Ancient knowledge from various sources tells us about a celestial body that causes disasters all over our planet. And that happens at long time intervals. That celestial body, a planet that is orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit, has a very strong gravitational force when it is crossing the ecliptic plane of the other planets at a very high speed, close to our planet Earth. That gravitational force pulls up water even above the highest mountains. When that gravity decreases the water falls back onto our planet mixed with sand, clay, lime, fossils of terrestrial and marine animals, shells and a deposit of dust and meteorites from the cloud that is surrounding that planet 9. A several feet thick mud layer remains. The confusing fact for geologists is that every layer contains organic matter from animals and vegetation that lived and grew at the time the layer was formed, but also very ancient deposition from the dust cloud that is surrounding planet 9. And this deposition must be the same age in each layer from top to bottom. Thanks to James Hutton and Charles Lyell, geologists took the wrong turn. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its chronology and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

Wow, this guy has mesmerized the book. Regurgitated information. No truth at all.

I see the title as 'auto translation to Spanish'.____.

growing earth theory better explains geology

It’s funny if you look at the flat irons in Colorado It looks as though those mountains were formed cosmic event not over the course of millions of years

There is a better explanation for the formations you see

True or false: mountains get taller every year.

Noahs flood explains all geology its simple but complicated at the same time

MUDFOSSIL…. MUDFOSSIL UNIVERSITY…

I'd have to say some of them mountains are petrified wood old trees

The flood of Noah did it the flood best explains everything we see in geology

all mountains are the same age

How in the world do rocks contain human DNA? And giant mudfossils? I don't hear geologists ever discuss this. DNA tests don't lie.

Even though I’m not an expert on the subject I must admit that, after listening for more than 1 hour you rambling on, you never mentioned the involvement of our Creator ‼️. Not a word and that for sure is very disappointing to many of your viewers who believe what’s mentioned in Genesis and beyond. ✅. God the Owner “The earth is the LORD's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.” (Psalm 24:1) In communist countries "the people" own the lands, while in capitalist countries individuals can own "private property". Both are myths, unless they are seen as a stewardship of God. We don't really own anything, "for we have brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can get nothing out of it" (1 Timothy 6:7). In the mineral kingdom, the most important substances are the precious metals on which monetary standards are based, but God makes it clear that all the silver is mine and the gold is mine (Haggai 2:8). The greatest members of the vegetable kingdom are the mighty trees of the forest, and God reminds us that “the trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted” (Psalm 104:16). All the birds and beasts in the animal kingdom are also His. "For all the beasts of the forest are mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills" (Psalm 50:10). Time and again God reminds us that "the whole earth is mine" (Exodus 19:5), and even the infinite heavens belong to Him. “Behold, the heavens and the heavens of heavens are the LORD your God, and the earth, and all that is in it” (Deuteronomy 10:14). God has indeed given man "rule . . . over all the earth" (Genesis 1:26), and Satan has indeed falsely claimed "all the kingdoms of the world" (Luke 4:5-6), but the fact remains that "the Most High reigns in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will" (Daniel 4:32). Above all, every Christian must understand that he and everything he has belongs to God through both creation and blood-bought redemption. "You are not your own...for you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

I ain't buying it

These are biological, half the things you say, you use biological terms to describe what you see. Sorry, mudfossil University will explain all of it, especially where you stop and say"I don't know why". Fffff I can't stand it when you go along sharing your knowledge and screech you tires because it don't sit right. Please learn why you do that. It has to bother you too. You can't be that callous. Sooner or later the stuff that don't make sense will create disfunction to your system, making you sick. Please please behold Mudfossil University, it will cost you your job, this is a better one for you, with much better returns. You got to be tire of hearing those screeching tires! If you don't choose a proper direction, the sound of metal garbage cans full of beer bottles banging together. Be discreet maybe, and share with esteemed colleague, iron sharpens iron.
