How Geography Started the Jurassic 

Found out about this fact a little while back, and immediately thought about this channel: "Most of the world's bodies of water are less than 18,000 years old. There are only 20 ancient lakes over 1 million years old." Lake Baikal is the most famous of these, and you've already talked about it, but the stories of each of the rest of them are just as interesting

"One for the Land One for the Air and One for the Water" makes it sound particularly epic.

Despite the popularity of the word Jurassic, the Cretaceous seems to be getting most of the attention cuz most of the newly discovered dinosaurs nowadays come from that period. So it’s nice to see a video focus on the Jurassic (and Triassic) in great detail.

One thing find extreamly fascinating and that is not very much talked about, is that during that hot age when the poles where temperate, it would have been an even more alien world there than just differnt life. Because at the high tatitudes you basically get a year long day and night cycle. A summer in which the sund never sets, and a winter that´s a night that does not stop. That must have been absolutely fascinating.

This really elevates the words "Jurassic World"

This last year, I've been consuming natural history videos like my life depended on it, and this video helped plug some of the gaps I had in my understanding. Mass extinctions are scary, but in a way, they've seemed to act as a means of resetting the biological status quo, letting different groups of animals all get their time to shine. I wish some pterosaurs managed to survive, they seem so freaking cool.

The lepidosaurs, therapsids, and temnospondyls didn't go extinct, but filled smaller niches.

7:49 Temnospondyls didn't die out during this extinction, They survived until the Early Cretaceous

You really are one of the best content creators on RU-vid. I look forward to your videos on this channel, and your AstroPro channel. Thank you so much for doing all the hard work that goes into each and every video that you make for all of us. I really appreciate it because your smart, professional content is really a breath of fresh air on RU-vid. I hope to see you hosting shows on NOVA or something like that one day! Thanks again!

I just want to say thank you for including your sources in the description! Not enough RU-vidrs do this

Dude You are Still so Much Underrated imo. As a Nature and Space Nerd, Your channels are so precious for Me and I Enjoy whenever you post a Video. Great One as Always❤️ Sorry for Bad English ( it's my Second Language)

Wow Atlas Pro this might be my favourite video of yours yet. You're a total inspiration and actually because of seeing your success I've decided to start making videos too! Keep grinding, your hard work clearly pays off!

As a Geography and Biology Student I really like your channel, you make some of the best and most detailed science videos on the Internet and always include proper sources and further information, HUGE thank you for that !

Thanks for the great video. Quick addendum to the part about ocean acidification: Not only the sulfur from volcanic eruptions caused the pH to drop, but also the CO2 itself. When CO2 dissolves in water, part of it turns into carbonic acid, which lowers the pH. This is the main reason why ocean pH has dropped from 8.25 to 8.14 between 1750 and now.

Love how this speaks to some of the changes we currently see in the global biosphere. And that whatever disturbances the Anthropocene creates, including our own possible extinction, new forms of life will emerge. Maybe even dinosaur-like creatures will rule the world again.

Perfect timing i was looking for a video to watch while eating

Love this video because it's like things are starting to come together more, w/ this being like a prequel to the biogeography of dinosaurs. Your videos always make me curious about more so this is filling that

I love your videos. No pesky Brit accents to distress/amuse me (and thus distract me from the subject matter) but solid info. Kudos, and thank you! This subject absolutely fascinates me! Starting from the first James Michener novel I read, back in the 70s, and have loved learning the most minute details of our planet and how it's made, what makes it run, ever since. One of your vids I particularly enjoyed was the one with WAYYYYYY more water than has ever been on Earth, because at one point I had a story idea along those lines; I tried to flesh it out using a topographic map that I scanned in (it was LOOOOONG before the www), and then manipulated photographically in various ways. I think what derailed that entire train of thought was 9/11; after that I just sat in a comfy chair and read Regency romances for a couple years, I was so traumatized just from seeing it on TV.

I remember watching walking with dinosaurs as a kid and the first episode was in the Triassic. They gave a quick mention of the extinction level event that waved in the age of the dinosaurs but this video basically sums it up in detail. So basically the splitting up of the Americas and Africa/Eurasia caused ripple effects through millions of years that caused the collapse of the entire bio chain. Regarding as to why the dinos survived and other major groups died out its quite easy to see from that first episode of walking with dinosaurs that those mini raptors were on another level to the rest of the sluggish and oversized reptiles. Although I still find it hard to believe that 90% of life died out during that time.

I do kind of wish you at least mentioned the Permian-Triassic Mass Extinction Event as a side note. Oh well, other than that, it was good video.

I remember when I was searching a video about pangea and how I found this channel. In a few weeks I watched every Video and learned so much about Biogeopgraphy. Your work is amazing and everytime you launch a new video I'm happy to watch it

Please keep doing what you're doing. I honestly did not learn enough in school so your videos are extremely enlightening

God am I always delighted to see an upload from this channel - the excitement I get is always matched with the immense quality of your work. Keep it up, you're one of the best in the game!

This channel came outta nowhere for me and now I've watched like half your vids in 2 days. Great stuff on here fr.

Awesome video the Triassic-Jurassic boundary extinction is one of the least talk and understood extinctions since very few people has videos on it. Also very cool maps remembered me the Peleoatlas project.

amazing content as always my friend. You make my love for geography blossom even more. and by supporting world anvil, which I've used before as an avid RPG DM and player I can see how much you're improving.

your research is maaad solid

LOVE these videos on contextualizing the mesezoic! More Please!

No matter how many times I've learned about it, still nice to listen this topic again.

Just wanted to let you know you have some of the best videos on all of RU-vid. They're always informative, entertaining and beautifully put together. Keep it up! I'll watch pretty much anything you post!

I always learn fascinating things watching your videos. You have such an amazing way of teaching. Keep up the good work.

1:32 It would be somewhat misleading to think of the formation of Pangaea as the defining event of the Triassic considering that Pangaea was actually formed earlier, perhaps by the Carboniferous, and was already in place by the Permian at any rate. Indeed, one of the suggested causes for the end-Permian mass extinction which marked the beginning of the Triassic is that the formation of Pangaea might have reduced and exposed coastal ecosystems leading to a decline in marine life.

I really like AstroPro, but I didn't realise how much I like these videos on good old, Planet Earth!

Such great content. Feel like a child again watching wonders on the Discovery Channel. Thanks for this! 💚💛💙

This is sooo good! Great video! I learn something new evertytime you release a new vid!

Man your videos are really interesting i could listen to you for hours!

Always love Atlas Pro’s quality, keep up the excellent work

your chanel is the best chanel i watch on youtube. Hands down. Thanks for that.

I’ve been watching you since the beginning. Still my favorite channel.

This is the best videos to watch before bed. Calm, soothing and informative.

A truly great video,i can'help but be fascinated and truly enthralled by your videos explaining the earth's evolution.

Thanks for the awesome content!

Great video! I've got a fascination with orogenies, and this scratches that itch. Also, the WorldAnvil sponsorship is a great fit, I've been a WA subscriber for a while

thanks for summarizing

Lepidosaurs also did survive and a few tebnospondyls did too but they went extinct in the middle of the cenezoic and the therapods survived in the form of mammals

Boy let me just say that i appriciate your videos, they tickle that hunger for knowledge i have so damn good! Thanks :3

Great info & graphics .. thanks.

wonderful video! i love learning

I fell in love with ur channel n ur obvious love of what u do , such an interesting subject ! N very ❤❤

>57 seconds ago If I was any earlier, it would be the Precambrian.

Bro I love the video but that music at the start was not ittttt. Lots of love tho, channel is amazing

Drepanosaurs were the cutest not-a-real-lizard lizards. 🦎

I've missed these videos so much in the past few months.

Awesome vid man! Loved it! I've subscribed & turned on notifications, yet RU-vid will not notify me that you posted a new vid. I only learn of new vids if I happen to check your channel.

The graphics in this video are excellent, and I love how you superimpose our current maps over the ancient ones. I’m fascinated by the way the supercontinents have come together and broken up but it’s hard for me to visualize in animations because of unfamiliar boundaries. I’m going to have to come back and rewatch this one on a slower speed, so I can really enjoy the effect!

Definitely the coolest sponsor tie-in I've seen in a while, not to mention one I hadn't heard of before. I'll need to check them out.

Can't wait for the next video, found your video on hawaii exceptionally interesting.

Neat little video, not as good as the longer more passionate ones but I can't complain about an Atlas Pro upload

Good video. That World Anvil got my attention, I'll check it out.

I love these ancient geography vs biodiversity vids bro. Keep em coming!!

I love world building and your work, this is a dream come true.

Glad you made a video on dinosaur origin space. I commented that on your pets origin video

Thanks for a great video! Could you put links to all parts in the description?

I would love to see a video about Mauritius and the underwater waterfall! Love your videos!! ❤

never seen this familiar history presented so fun and simple.

Awesome video.

Grade A sponsor, too. Thank you for highlighting valuable tools for your audience, instead of shilling mobile games or VPNs.

Your videos are the best

Nice to learn more about that period, great video!

The formation of Yellowstone would be an interesting video seeing how it changed from before it erupted and after the last time it erupted and to how it is today

This was absolutely fascinating! I never thought about how it was the breakup of Pangea that directly led to the climate change leading to the jurassic. I do have a request: Could you make the videos with a higher baseline sound? I struggle to hear it, and have to turn on closed captions.

yes!! my type of video!! more on the geological era :D

Glad to see you posting regular videos now.

I really injoy These videos 💯🔥💯

NEW VIDEOOOO YES

Nice Content

Nice info

One of the best channel if you want to learn something new

Amazing and interestingl video! Keep up the good work man!

After all, all geological eras are just "passing by" eras. World don't stop. But it's always fascinating to see how our world changes through years and eons.

Ever considered doing a video about something like the spread of different cultures and civilizations I know you did major empires but maybe one about where different cultures evolved and where they spread to and when similar to where and when food or pets evolved/came from videos you’ll have a bit more to do to track the different variations in cultures and where the cultures spread too not just originated from but I think it could be a really good video idea

atlas pro you're incredible i miss you

That sponsor at the end was LITERALLY the EXACT fucking thing I was thinking I needed before I clicked on this video. I literally clicked on RU-vid to find a video that would help me with world building maps and I found your video so I clicked on it bc it intrigued me and boom! Exactly what I wanted

The worst thing about this channel is that it doesn't release videos frequently enough :D

Your videos are so cool

I love the woodwinds in the background of the intro lol

Might be an odd question but what did you go to collage for? I love this kind of stuff and want to go for environmental studies so I was wondering if some of the classes would be the same :)

The Triassic is my favorite Mezasoicperiode; its soo weird - it is hardto find any content, thank you

My Day just got 100% better

This was so cool

I was super confused at 11:35 because I was just listening then I watched it and now I see that you fixed the mistake 👍

I need more videos about these topics about earlier life styles!!!! So sad this was just 15 minutes.

i would love to see your breakdown of the great extinction events

I think its easy to forget just how much geology shaped the earth and its inhabitants. The jurassic came in perfect as the world started to split up. Dinosaurs adapted and diversified.

Fun fact: When all those creatures and plants thrived at their best the Co2 levels was well over 5 times as high as it is today.. And this is of course regardless of the permian-triassic and the triassic-jurassic mass extinctions that some people like to mention. Those had nothing to do with that fact since those extinctions was because of an explosive rise to waaaaaay higher co2 levels.

Hey Kaelan, a suggestion for a video: Biogeography of a more island-ed (having WAYY more islands, something similar to what Japan looked like in the Columbian map in Alt Hist Hub's latest vid) world if the continental plates continiued to divide after the end of the Permian extinction, looking similar to Indonesia but on a way larger scale. Focusing on time periods either around the end of the Cretaceous or in our times. Hope somehow this reaches you and you think about it. Continue with the amazing videos, much love from the Balkans !

another great video--by the way, what's that track you had playing in the intro? I remember playing it back in high school band but can't recall the name

Another Altas banger

You got over a million subscribers, congrats
