Thanks to your videos, and this one in particular, I have identified a wall of pillow lava on nf-23 between the skokomish valley and browns creek. To be clear, I'm not a geologist, but I love the history of the pnw and your lectures add deep depth to that history. Thanks Dr. Zetner.
Please come to long island sound, more specifically coastal Connecticut. I would love to hear about our tectonic and glacerial history from a real geo pro.
It would have been great if you could have included a short film clip taken by those insane scuba divers at the Kilauea ocean entry point that show molten basalt squeezing out under the sea like toothpaste from a tube, snapping, crackling, showing glowing orange cracks and then tumbling down in heaps with sand and gravel mixed in to form the chaotic pillow deposits. Check out the RU-vid channel at “Lava Ocean Tours Inc.” The videos show what a dynamic environment it is where pillow basalts are actually forming. The sounds of the lava underwater are pretty amazing, too.
Yep with a bunch scraped off the plate and added to the coast like he said in this video. The cool part is Siletzia was most likely the Yellowstone hotspot before going under the North American plate.
Dear Nick. I don't want to join Twitter to contact you. Just an observation; the camera only sees 1/10 of what the eye sees; so what we see in the "cosy fort" an eye seeing the rock then the camera in your phone sees 1/10th of that; then you present a computer version of what your camera saw; then your phone sends this view to us. No wonder we can't see what you saw. It's either 1/100 or 1/1000 of the original! Be patient with us. Thanks. Love your programs and have followed them for a long time. Thank you.
Nick, I wish I could hear the name of that island just a little more clearly - I'd love to look up more about it, I'd never heard of it before. I turned on close caption and it spelled it as "Silesia", but that's in Poland!
@@regular-joe watch Nick Zentners channel. He is the geologist presenter here. He has many videos covering or touching on what we know of Siletzia. 👍 An interesting possibility is Siletzia was a Hawaii hotspot volcanic island created by the Yellowstone hotspot before colliding with the west coast and the NA plate. Siletsia was basically scraped off as Yellowstone continued to track east.
Nick: I have been all over Washington with the exception of Walla Walla....Born in Aberdeen before the four lane highway to Olympia! Now my question!!! Why not explore what we call the Black Hills and you call the Coastal Range....Now the Willapa Hills and the Range have something to say about their formation I hope so?? Are they Volcanic, and older than dirt??? The road between Olympia is lined with BLACK rock that seem to be volcanic, or at least Granitic....C'mon! We lived there and you visit the Cascades, Olympics, Channel Scablands and the Great Floods...Now what about us Rainy People on the Coast? We have our own Cascadia Subduction Zone, Fault Zone to keep us on our toes Too! I am now situated in Spokane, and am waiting for Yellowstone Mega Volcano and the 9.1 Coastal big one! Now why not investigate the Willapa Hills and Chehalis Flood Plain and fill us in??? Pretty Please???
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qHaL04gZQwc.html do geologists have a have a determining the difference between pillow basalts being deposited in different places? IOW in really old stuff, the exact laval/contact points; is there specific chemistry in the contact points?
