Why Is This Lake PINK? 

Even explaining the term sodium. I knew exactly where he was going with it, but never knew that is how Sodium got it's name!

This comment said it better than I ever could

@@slevinchannel7589 I *despise* copy-pasting spammers. Doesn't even matter if you're a bot automatically posting or a human manually posting. The end result is essentially the same thing. An annoying comment completely unrelated to the video hijacking multiple comment threads for attention.

@@WanderTheNomad The End-Result is you ranting off against someone who tried to be nice, helpful and education-spreading. That, my friend, is the end-result here.

@@WanderTheNomad If your so soul-weak that you cant differenciate btween Attention-Seekers and warm Help-Offerings, that makes me sad. Even sadder if you cant even think of a reasonable Difference between Non-feeling Bots and real People.

Yeah, i remember when I didn't know what Atlas Pro looked like.

I who memorised some of the original names of elements I was equally confused

@@rizwanasir6587 Me being Dutch AND knowing some of the elements I was even more confused

Latin: Natrium German: Natrium Russian: Natriy Greek: Nátrio Swedish: Natrium Norwegian: Natrium Danish: Natrium Icelandic: Natrium Finnish: Natrium Bulgarian: Natrii North-Macedonian: Natrium Belarusian: Natryju Ukrainian: Natryju Dutch: Natrium Scottish Gaelic: Natrium Luxembourgish: Natrium Lithuanian: Natrio Latvian: Natrijs Estonian: Naatrium Hungarian: Nátrium Georgian: Nat'riumi Armenian: Natrium Azerbaijani: Natrium Serbo-Croatian: Natrij/Natrijum Slovene: Natrij Albanian: Natriumi English: Sodium Polish: Sód Spanish: Sodio Portuguese: Sódio Czech: Sodik French: Sodium Italian: Sodio Romanian: Sodiu Slovak: Sodíka Irish: Sóidium Welsh: Sodiwm Turkish: Sodyum Maltese: Sodju Basque: Sodioa Catalan: Sodi In European there seems to be a divide on what to call this element.

@@modmaker7617 That's interesting because there doesn't really seem to be a clear divide between to language groups such as Western-Eastern Europe, Germanic-Romanic, etc.

@@modmaker7617 I'd like to know why is there such a divide in the European scientific nomenclature.

This deserves more likes

Oh no, the salt jokes from high school!!! "I would tell you a joke about Sodium, but Na" "What's Batman's theme tune?", "SodiumSodiumSodiumSodiumSodiumSodiumSodiumSodium BATMAN!"

Imagine Atlas Pro and Linus of Linus TEch Tips standings side by side

Totally. When he said that there’s no such element in the periodic table, I was like “whaaat?” Somehow completely missed that it’s sodium in English.

Yassss. To me it's so obvious

What language still uses Natrium?

What

@@gustavosauro1882 basically the tops of the mountains are tropical because of rain but lower down it’s a desert so animals don’t go from one mountain top to another which leads to them being called islands.

@@Gingerbreadley wow

This is so cool

On a related note did you know the American Southwest basin and range province is actually a rift valley? It is why both places have an odd mix of high mountains held up by the upwelling hot asthenosphere and deep basins with no outflow channels, the cause of the rifting is a bit different and the latitude differences play a role in differentiating the two continents but of the 4 active continental rift valleys they are probably the ones with the most in common as relatively warm evaporation dominated rift valleys, as the other two lake Baikal (where Amur is rifting away from Eurasia) and the Antarctic rift valley (where west Antarctica is rifting away from East Antarctica) are far colder and thus have a lot less evaporation. The rate of rifting in North America has slowed down and the overlaying crust is not yet considered completely separate under typical definitions by the USGS (the Northern parts are still attached with the rift probably needing help from the Yellowstone Hotspot )but it is still spreading apart and producing volcanoes.

I was going to mention the Great Salt Lake too. The reason why only half of the lake is pink is also fascinating. During the construction of railroads across the western US a causeway was constructed across the Great Salt Lake upon which to build a rail line. This casueway bisected the lake into northern half and a southern half. Now the Great Salt Lake has three primary inlet rivers, Jordan River, Weber River, and Bear River. All three of these rivers enter the lake on the southern half though. Without an inet of fresh water in the northern half the evaporation caused it to become even more hypersaline than the rest of the lake. From there thr processes of pinkifying discussed in the video happened to the north half of the Great Salt Lake. Eventually this bisection if the lake was remedied by constructing a bridge on the causeway to allow water to mix between the two halves. To this day though the north end of the lake maintains a distinct pink color compared to the southern half.

@@hunterjackson1949 yessir, all true. Thank you for expanding on this.

What was the question?

I can explain why Martians from the red planet are green. They're colour blind

LOL.

And just by the border of vic/south Australia and Westgate lake in Melbourne turns pink as well

There is hundreds of pink lakes in Australia they’re mostly salt pans, I’ve seen many in my travels

Yeah, you tell him. 😆😅

they arent common, but arent rare

Imagine commenting before watching the end of the video

I was scrolling comments to see if anyone else asked yet

That's actually unhealthy I don't think you should stay awake for 22 hours

@@a_Playerwastaken Just wait until you learn how long the guy driving the semi truck next to you on the interstate has been awake.

The GSL isn't usually pink, though

@@mack.attack Lake Natron ain’t always pink either

Fun fact: Only the northern half of the Great Salt Lake turns pink. This happens because the lake was split into two by a railroad causeway.

Himalayan pink salt contains trace amounts of iron oxide (rust), which gives it a pink color. It's not from bacterial pigments like beta-carotene.

But bacteria means its cultured And reddit is uncultured

@@pas-giaw6055 bacteria may be cultured, but they are still one of the most primitive life forms. it all checks out.

@@Tokru86 there some slightly cultured subreddits, like r/neography

Also 6 on Rottnest island. There’s a bunch of pink lakes throughout Australia. But they don’t look that pink in person

That reminds me of how Elon Musk started a date once in college: “so, do you ever think of electric cars?” ;)

Followed by: "Want to see my rocket?"
