I teach geology at a university and starting at about 2:45 you have one of the best explanations of cave formation I've seen on RU-vid. I'll definitely be adding your videos to my lectures. Thank you!
@@Neoprototype Oh, please, what a sad, ignorant, faux-criticism. Utilizing video content from others and forming your own lessons isn't mutually exclusive and some of my very best professors would show us youtube videos in between teaching for various reasons, whether to break up the monotony, utilize the entertainment value that the professor may not know how to create themself (because as you should know, making entertaining youtube videos is a totally separate skill set from teaching at a university), and giving _credit_ to the uploader for their unique perspective/understanding on whatever the subject matter is. This video happened to impress a university professor by giving an explanation they found useful that they didn't come up with themselves, and because they want to utilize it, you feel the need to make an _entire_ professional value judgment on them without knowing _anything else_ about them or their professional aptitude.
So flipping glad I found this channel a while back. The quality of the content is amazing and they're so informative and right up my alley. You definitely deserve more subscribers!
@@xXkirkhammetXx Yeah NOW this channel will gain the recognition it deserves because RU-vid's algorithm suddenly recommends it. Why didn't it recommend it 3+ months ago? WHO KNOWS! I've been watching science and Earth science videos the whole time!
I'm a cave tour guide and we give a shorter speech along the same lines. I love the way you explain it and I will definitely retouch that part of my tour. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍
Common trope I've heard in worldbuilding is people not knowing geology with their caves and how rivers and coastlines work. Good job for seeking extra information. Wirld building is the best form of escapism I think
4444 1414 yeah but speaking from experience one problem I always have is that I sometimes get TOO involved in the world building and I’ll spend way too much time thinking about and fleshing out very minor details of my world. Like one time I spent an entire month researching medieval cuisine from across the world to better come up with popular regional dishes in my world. Something which I realized I probably didn’t need to put that much thought into. I really had to choose the most mentally draining escapist hobby but still I absolutely love world building. I’m thinking of writing a fantasy novel or something when I have the time but we’ll see.
@@Dell-ol6hb from what I've gathered, a possible cure would be to make sure you have "how" and "why" answered for most things, and then wing it from there :) At least in D&D-like situations
@@norgepalm7315 Kinda. It's also used to build settings for any stories out there that isn't based on real life. Even the one that's based on real life has some sort of worldbuilding.
4:50 "This process can actually be remarkably fast, in geologic terms... Hang Son Dong is only 3 million years old." "Officer, I swear I didn't know she was 3 million years old"
This is 3/3/2019. I have just discover this channel and watched 6/7 videos. I am not having any clue why didnt you surpass Bride Side, Be Amazed like channels yet? Love from Bangladesh.
This channel is truly a gem. I've watched some videos in the past week and it just confirmed even more what I had thought after leaving high school, how wrong I was to think "physical" geography was boring
Ah yes, and the horrifying creatures that come to the surface that steal our socks out of the dryer and eat random people in the night live in those dark tunnels in the earth
swamps form when rich a-hole elites who don't give two fucks about anybody's well-being decide to enter politics and instead of hiring competent experts they instead hire only family and/or friends and/or sycophants.
Man this channel is everything, first 3 to 4 minutes I was like this dude not telling the basics but then I was amazed ,please add more basics about geography in your videos it's really helpful.
As other comments have said, this is an excellent video. Thank you for posting it. I'm in my 70's, so I knew all this already, but this is a really great explanation for kids or folks who've never really thought about caves. The pictures and editing are stunning. Yeah, I agree with RuleWriter: "How are you not more well known?" Fantastic!
I live in central New York state not far from Howe's Caves in Cobleskill, New York. I went once but I got a terrible migraine from the pressure. Yet it was awesome to see in person. Just found your channel two days ago and great work! - Quinn
@Atlas Pro the main problem i do see with such channels (not saying it's something generic) is that the information delivers too fast and monotonic for an amount of knowlege concentraition .. So it's starts to overload ur 'cpu' and decrease an attention. Very interesting subjects but really hard to follow. The background soundtrack reminds me of Sid Meier's Civilization. Good stuff. Keep up the work!
i started hiking as a hobby recently (around the philippines) and OMYGOD i love this video thank you this is makin me even more excited for my hike next week
Those are really good and interesting channels, as is this one. If you're interested in genealogy, linguistics, and similar topics then I highly recommend the RU-vid channel Masaman. Very informative and interesting, his presentation style reminds me a bit of the other channels you mentioned.
@@AtlasPro1 me good way of putting such a number into context is by considering the fact a cubic kilometer is 1 billion cubic meters. Now, just using common sense and only passing knowledge of the Grand canyon, it's obvious the open space in the Grand canyon is bigger than 1 cubic kilometer. When considering this, any source saying the Grand canyon is 38 million square kilometers should create immediate suspicion.
the background music makes me feel like im in a Skyrim quest. ngl: probably one of the most badass videogames i ever played on xbox one: Skyrim, Halo 3 and borderlands
I'm always finding myself checking the playback speed with how fast you speak. It's a good thing since most of the RU-vidrs speak slowly that I feel like it's a bed time story.
I never enjoyed Geography at school, but having discovered your channel only a couple of weeks ago, I can say I've been really enjoying your content. If only Geography was this interesting at school, maybe I would be on a different path myself
Mind blowing content... Hilarious explanations... Nice and detailed animation with relatable supporting video clips..... This is perfect!!🤗🤗🤗 Keep up the good work brother.... Success is not far...
fajar adi Pradana Lol I personally haven’t been on a trip longer than 8 hours, but if you’re desperate, some people pack and extra nalgene to “go” in. I’ve heard that other exploration trips will require you to bring some sort of bag/can to carry your waste in as to not damage the caves. But there are some caves where you are allowed to just pee in a corner because there is no risk of damage
Caves are pretty cool and terrifying at the same time. i really haven't seen many as my area has no caves that i know of, the flat plains of an ancient glacial lake bed probably doesn't favor their formation.
Man, your vid just popped up as one of the recommended vids on RU-vid and I'm sure got caught in this encyclo-geo-atlas thing of yours. Thanks for the info.
very well done. very informative. but what i like most about this and the one i watched previously is that you speak at a normal rate (not hyper like on some of the science channels) and clearly with good explanations and reflective. i learned a lot about caves (and yes i would love to learn about the less common forms) and oasis (that was super great). thank you.
Fantastic video but I feel like I could've watched 30 more minutes of slot of the things you briefly mentioned but didn't elaborate on. Cave pearls, karst topography etc really grabbed my attention and left me wanting to know more, but the information wasnt expanded on. If you ever have it in you to make another more comprehensive cave video, I for one know I'd love to watch it. And I'm not even really that into caves, this video just sparked my curiosity
That brings me back to my sedimentary petrology classes. Out of all classes I had, it is easily top two in terms of difficulty, right next to structural geology. Also, Mt. Roraima, in Brazil's frontier with Venezuela, is an extremme occurence of a karst in quartzite, one of the most insoluble rocks there is. It is located right at the north of the amazon rainforest, one of the wettest regions in the world as well. All nearby rocks weathered and eroded away giving place to the amazon basin, but quartzite is so resistent to weathering that it stood there as a 3000 meters high plateau. On top of the plateau, since it still gets a lot of rainfall, the extended exposure to weathering agents has formed karst as well, but its quartz karst, not calcium carbonate, which is fascinating.
If you keep making videos, this channel is gonna BLOW UP lol these are some of the best made videos on RU-vid. This is my first time seeing your content btw
Just found your channel. I'm really loving your style, and also the content. Keep up the good videos, and I'm not sure why you haven't grown into the millions yet. You don't find many channels like yours very often these days. I can't wait to see more of your work! :)
Fun Fact: Not all solution Caves get fromed by flowing Water. As cave explorer i often asked myself how that much water must have been flowing through the most impossible spots. Turns out its often not flowing water, but the acidic moisture of the air who eats itself often through the limestone :)
Man don't worry if "stock footage is all you have"; your channel is great, and your contents are interesting and of high quality, so that's the least issue. You really deserve more subscribers for your hard work 👍
Discovered the channel a few days ago and have watched quite a few over the last few days and learned quite a bit. But damn! This video blew my mind, I never knew all this stuff (I sell insurance, no geologist here).
Heckin' love your channel, gave this a like, would like to formally request a video talking about how the other types of caves are formed, that would be super cool! I'm very familiar with lava tubes, some of the others seem fairly self-explanatory, but a bunch of those I've never heard about. Mostly, just keep doing what you're doing, bro.
