I didn't finish school, and I'm so glad for books and the internet. Your videos and lectures are so awesome for me. I've got a huge love and a learning curiosity for geology. It started by collecting rocks. ☺ Thanks Nick!
I have never wanted to study geology more than I do when I'm watching one of your videos! Your enthusiasm to teach has been recognized and appreciated!
These two minute things are blowing my mind again, and again, and again. I've lived with most of these features for most of my life and knew the basics of alot of their geological origin stories, but I guess it takes a Nick Zentner to showcase the most spectacular facts and blow my mind. Again.
Nick, keep up the good work. One challenge is you are producing so many videos I can not keep up with my allotted internet time. I live in Central Oregon Cascade and play often in central and eastern Oregon high desert. Your videos help me understand what I see in these travels.
I fear that very, very few persons truly understand the scope of the Ice Age and the incredible modification of the Earth that the ending of has accomplished. The ongoing rebound effect in areas such as the Great Lakes region is often completely misuderstood. Thank you for helping enlighten the world.
Ive lived in spokane all my life and just visited palouse falls for the first time today! Thanks for explaining the formation process more. Geology is interesting
I love these 2 minute geology videos! It’s perfect for my ADHD. I love your lectures as well, but I sometimes have a hard time trying to finish them. Thanks so much for starting these videos. It’s fun learning about my adopted State.
I found your channel back in the early days of Covid when I found myself off work due to various health concerns and mainly concerned about getting Covid (which I haven't yet!). I don't think I've ever commented but just want to say, I'm annoyed with myself for not following through with my love of environmental science and geology in particular, being my favorite subject. I have really enjoyed your videos and have watched them all! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge of geology! 😃
I found this series recently and I love it! Just subscribed to to your channel. Eastern Washington is a very interesting place, but I hadn't heard anyone explain how it came to be in an accessible manner like this before. You have a great presentational style, the video footage is impressive and the maps and drawings are easy to read and helpful. Even the little guitar ditty is great, thanks for making these
@@barbaramartinez9290 Thank you Barbara, i have watched most of the 2 minute geology vids already. I can watch em again though and I will. I may not watch many long vids but I still need to get my fix of Nick every now and then. I wonder who is the artist lending their musical talents to the cause providing theme music? I spy a bowtie. How about a musical short. There's an idea to go with geology.
As I'm just one year older than you mr Nick it is so freely seeing you before gray hair and still thinking WE both look the same. Thankyou so very much for knowelege and entertainment
Did I somehow get caught up in the Way Back Machine? I don't need glasses and my Giddyup seems ready for action! Can't wait for the next session and watching the evolution of your thinking is infectious. Very interested in the variations in the southern ice advances and the ever changing margins. Seems many fluctuations between 20 and 11 ish. Each one scouring out a ever changing path? The unloading of the north American continent would have led to significant rebound challenging the story. How far would crust displace with a mile of ice on it and the ocean devoid of that weight? Far. Would have been a bad place to be if quickly unloaded. Streams and rivers would change in a lifetime... there's a much bigger story here and it's so recent that we really need to grind this out with open eye's and broaden our vision. As a layman the ground I walk is making better sense and the wonder of it all is compounded with the understanding of what I'm looking at.
Wonder how many hours/days total of content Nick has at this point!? It's starting to get up there with fantastic educational and interesting topics! Grateful that we have all these, and will watch each and every time they are posted.
So, the question is: Did the Missoula Floods create the Palouse River Canyon or did the Spokane Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet create the coulee/canyon? Or both?
Well, I may well be older than you are, Hello! Those floods! And Native Americans almost certainly witnessed some of them. I suppose we're fortunate that nothing like this currently happens. Still, to see it!
There is an archeological story with the geological story. Near term. Nobody knows how old "mankind" is. Of all these rivers John Day seems endlessly wandering. Haven't been to the falls Yet. I have been to the bridge over Cowlitz, which coincidentally is 185 feet above the Gorge in Rainier at the turnout.
10000 years puts you into Woodland Indian era in Tennessee. 1000 Mississippian. Plow marks in soil are easily identified. 10000 years there was pottery. UTC archeology. UT. I'm not sure what people did here 10k ago. Seems all followed rivers, though. Used caves. Russell Cave over yonder. TN. very similar cave dwelling.
Geology is a fascinating subject, and I would watch more of your videos if you would just ditch the bowtie. I know it is a strong reaction, but I despise it.
@@steveburke7675 well I for one do not object to nick wearing a bow tie though were that the totality of his clothing might make it a little less entertaining
#1, These vignettes were taped over a decade ago, when it was more or less a trademark of Nick's when he was making these for WA Public TV. #2, Though my entire life I've never been enamored by a bow tie unless I was wearing a tux, men still wear them for the same reason they wear ties in general -- to add a bit of color to the haute couture. I just think there's few men who can pull it off -- and generally they're jacked and not too tall.
