"Girl talk" Yeah, growing up with two sisters, I tell you, they just wouldn't shut up about underwater rift valleys, tectonic plates and continental rift.
In astronomy before computers ladies were employed to compute the numbers. Thanks to girl talk we know such things like the size and age of the universe, the distance of neutron stars, what stars are made of, the classification of stars. Yhea girl talk can get intense.
Theres so much Fun and Education, some things are even both. So let me 'randomly' recommend: -Cinema Therapy. -Veritasium. -Krimson Rogue. -Raised by Zombies. -Cliffside.
I am curious if some genius heard the term "sounding" for dropping the rock to measure depth and was like "why dont we just invent something that uses SOUND?"
I did a double-take when I first heard him say that. Funnily enough...the same logic can be said about the....other form of sounding. Why is it called that??
@@alexbenavidez4500 you use a tool to measure the depth of a hole. Some holes are filled with water and called the ocean, other holes are part of the Human body but both are holes thus sounding.
"The earth is expanding like a balloon." Scientists: seems legit "The Tectonic plates move slightly over time" Scientists: preposterous! This is girl talk.
@@GiBBO5700 I almost said that Hank is awesome, too. But I didn't want to exclude Stephan or the lovely new addition, Rose. 🤣 But, yes. They're all awesome. I just particularly like Michael a lot.
@@virglibrsaglove fair point. Rose is better looking but Hank is always excited to tell you his story about science. Michael is fine, he gives me the impression I'd find him in a Jazz bar lol
Yes girl talk is often composed of rift valleys, continental drift and tectonic plates. That’s why we always go to the bathroom together we’re just doing the girl talk thing!
I really appreciate you guys including and rightfully crediting female scientist contributions as well as male scientist contributions in your videos. You guys are what feels like some of the few people who actually act on rather than just pay lip service to the idea of "we should promote gender equality and get more girls interested in science!" It gives me hope that this field can be changed for the better and become more inclusive rather than exclusive to all and anyone interested in science. :)
We always have been. It is traumatic to work all your life on something than someone takes credit for your ideas. This happened alot in fields where women were not accepted to be intelligible. It's a trauma not many would risk.
14:52 - "The researchers named it the Lost City of--" Me: "Atlantis?" "--Hydrothermal Field." Me: "Aww, I wanted some quackery in this factual science show."
I was just about to comment that I was wondering how long it took her to convince the good “ol boys she knew her stuff when this joker calls it “girl talk”. 🤨 I could not have survived back then. I could not guarantee their safety. 😳
Tharp had to do her work 5 times before her boss went to the good o'le boys geologic club to present the ridge. After all she was ONLY a calculator (female who could do math). I really understand sexism being the crossover generation. I was in my first profession paid $200/week LESS THAN a male yet I had a degree and all of the males on the team had no college degrees. That was in 1976. 20 yrs later in my second profession I was paid equally. There is no systemic sexism now.
I knew that Wegener was laughed out of science conferences etc when he proposed continental drift in the... 20s I think? Especially since he didn't have a mechanism for it, just the evidence that it happened. I never learned about marie tharp and her work with the mid atlantic ridge, though! every time I think that plate tectonics wasn't really Widely Accepted until the 50s/60s iirc, I'm still blown away that it's so recent-- I guess that's 60-70 years ago by now, but it still feels like something that """should""" be categorized with the things we learned in like, late 18th or 19th century, or even earlier, especially since a lot of the basic space info we have that ~feels~ like it's on the same level as continental drift as far as "the basis of a lot of more advanced knowledge" is as old as galielo. idk, oceanology is fascinatingly weird, thanks for making this compilation video so I can watch them all at once with ease!
@@ChristophersMum not really. we know how to contain nuclear waste, and the physical amount generated by currently operating reactors is quite tiny, especially if we were to invest in reactors that subsequently use the waste products. and the threat of nuclear material that could actually be used for a nuclear weapon or even just a dirty bomb, plus the actual technology to detonate it, is also equally unlikely. You should more be worried about bio-weaponry or the return of chemical warfare or chemical terrorism. The only two blockades to nuclear power is public fear and the enormous up-front costs of building the reactors. Both are valid concerns, but also shortsighted.

Hell yes, seamounts are my fav obscure topic. "Summit depth" is such a beautifully bizarre concept, which serves to highlight that we truly can, on Earth, expand past the usual mainstream endeavors inside the academic staid comfort zone.
Nature takes many millions of years to slowly build delicate, amazing geological formations and incredible habitats for unique new life forms. Scientists discover these treasures and over a couple of decades make occasional visits to study them and marvel at the wonder. Corporations hear about this extremely rare natural beauty and announce: "let's get to mining that b*tch, our shareholders need to see growth!" Disgusting entities.
We're currently wrangling with various deep sea mining exploration & gas-drilling initiatives that keep trying to horn in here, in an area where our country largely consists of coastline and (unlike the landmass) almost none of it is legally protected as yet 😰 & for some reason the spots they keep pointing at are always on top of or right nextdoor to the most valuable ecological areas and richest areas of marine life! 🤦🏻♀️ It really frustrates me that we still know so relatively little about our marine environment & already corporations are willing to destructively destroy it...
"No other animal is known to incorporate iron into its skeleton..." Don't beavers incorportate iron into their teeth, making them very hard and giving them their characteristic orange color? 🤔
That's because teeth are not considered as bone, as they can't regenerate the way that bones can, and so are not part of the skeleton. So while iron is in their teeth, they don't have it incorporated into their bones. Hope that helped! 😊
As a marine geophysics major it’s always so cool to see deep sea stuff introduced to the public! Especially when it includes Marie Tharp, a great scientist. But please, pleaaaase, let’s not propagate the myth of the molten rock mantle, one of the few things we know for sure about the mantle is that it’s made of high-pressure, but solid, rocks! This is my pet peeve :(
Great science-tubers are always a great discovery! 😁 There seems to be a whole mix out there, from the deep dives (no pun intended!) right through to the recycled stereotypes & misunderstandings... Good recommendations always welcome! 🙏
We were sailing towards Japan. The captain told the navigator to be careful for an underwater mountain. Nearly hit it! I saw the sonar read out. Amazing!
You should really look it up on YT and see just how fascinating and beautiful they really are. BTW, they are called that because of their color and the fact that they have a “cape” lol.
Holy cow - this is the most informative video on this subject I've ever seen! It really made things *click* to the connection of our ocean with climate change!
It always shocks me how ignorant humanity was about the basic way the earth works *geologically* until so recently. Like, when I was a kid gobbling up science books, nobody really knew why the dinosaurs died off, or that the continents are on plates that pull away or crash into into each other, which plays a huge role in explaining volcanism and earthquakes. It’s weird that (some) Bronze Age civilizations knew that the earth is round, that stars were really far away, even that the earth’s pole precesses over a span of 26,000 years! They could build sophisticated things with stone and align them with the 4 cardinal directions, and calculate the size of the earth from shadows cast by a standing stone! Not to mention they developed sophisticated mathematics, ingenious ways to move water uphill and irrigate fields in order to grow crops, and even figured out they should rotate those crops yearly to allow the soil minerals to recover. But the nature of the earth itself? 1970s: “It’s basically a big balloon.”
You're not taking into consideration that the iron is magnetic, so that quality of the building material used by the snails to build their exoskeleton is "HOW" the material actually accumulates by it's own means to "make the snail's iron shell". So cool!! Who could guess snails could be so smart. A snail without a shell is merely a slug.
I don't know your name, person who is not Hank and is in like every other video and between them, but your voice makes me really happy for I have no idea why but just purely childlike happiness beyond measure. You are a very good narrator with very good vibes
The deep sea is like the internet!! It's fun as hell and seems to be just a wonderful place to explore!!!!!!!! But the deeper you go the more scary it gets....... In a fun way! Then very immediately not in a fun way!!!!!! And then you realize oh dear sweet mother of Moses I didn't even get to the most disturbing parts!!!!!!!!!! Thankfully I don't have the technology to get to the scariest stuff that it can provide..........
I think on the marine snow segment, it might've been good to emphasize exactly why we don't want to go back to the Cretaceous. Because one of the denier arguments is that, even if we did go back to such a climate, life existed then so why should be so gloom and doom? On its face, it's not an unreasonable question, even if it's wrong. It's just that humans are not good at long-term pattern development and time frames. I don't have a good personal reference for what a million years is, because I'm 41. And love you, Hank. I hope you are remaining in good health and I am always wishing you the best.
Compilation videos are a lot like anime recaps- the only people who need them weren't watching to begin with. Thanks for linking the actual videos below.
There REALLY needs to be something done about ocean acidification, it's unfortunate that it's stopped at research and no mainstream media will even acknowledge it, because of an ignorant few, the entire human race may end.
Wow seeing Michael is crazy. This came on during a nap so I woke up thinking “wow, this guy is cute… wait I know him? The charlieissocoollike friend that had dyed hair?! His name named with something wtf was it… (veranda- like a porch). So good to see him doing nerd things that I will binge for the day.
5:23 It remains SciShow's mystery how a planet with a total surface of 510 million square kilometers can have chalk and limestone cover three billion(!) square kilomters of seafloor.
I wonder if there would be any use for all that carbon on the ocean deep. Also if Algae are the best at pulling carbon into the depths, why not mass produce them?
the pressure is so high down there, your head would implode instantly if you teleported there. the snow is probably compacted in no time at all. you would sink no more than you do on the beach
@David Single No one cares and you're muted now so no one is listening. You're really helping those babies now lol. Also, the US has children in cages too; maybe work on the problems in our own home.
I find it more interesting how they optain oxygen than food deep underwater. Nowadays the arctic has a big role since cold saline water sinks and brings oxygen with it. But prior to the Arctics. How did O2 reach there? PS CO2 levels must be higher there, is it?
Good stuff. I first experienced this when in the waters of St. John, USVI. One area in particular has this type of underwater topography- not just mountains below the water but also blue holes and lot's of fish. It's really something to experience.
That sounds like the most amazing experience! I love the way RU-vid & Instagram are allowing divers to share a taste of their remarkable experiences with those of us who'll never get to go there in person... always watch with fascination. The range of incredible life that lives below the ocean surface honestly blows my mind even more than what we have here above-water!
