One of the many beautiful aspects of studying geosciences is that it literally changes the way you see the world. In this video, I provide a very simplified/generalized overview of the North American cordilleran orogenic system. The purpose is to show you that, if you study geology, you will begin to see landscapes in an entirely new way. No longer will you just see and think “mountains!”; you will think “Precambrian basement rock exhumed in the Paleocene by a high-angle reverse fault!”
I hope this does an okay job of communicating how magic this feeling is. Regardless, thanks for watching and always keep learning.
