Can you talk about Mountain Lake, how it formed and why its level fluctuates so much? One of the most interesting features near Blacksburg. Tons of great lidar work coming out of VT!

I've prospected in very swampy and very sandy areas where it can be difficult to discern float rock from bedrock. But I swear, given some practice you can tell the difference between the two when you strike it with a hammer. Float has a duller reverberation. Bedrock rings longer. I've had several geologists tell me I can't possibly tell the difference with huge float like what you encountered here, but I consistently proved them wrong in the field. Soil beneath rock dulls it's ring.

This what have always waned to since my first archeological dig: WHY IS EVERYTHING OLD BURRED UNDERGROund? No matter where in the world dig a hole and the further you dig the older you go? Where does the dirt come from? I went on a dig in school and at 1" we found native people arrow head flakes everywhere in nh by the river at 2" we found 2000 year old bone tools? Why does dirt rain from the sky and not wash away?

Hey man! I happened upon your channel about a month ago and have been enjoying your videos. I was born and raised here in WNC and have always loved hiking or exploring our local geography/geology. Also, been studying topo maps both new and old looking for out of the way places to explore since I was a teenager. I really like the way you sort of dissect the land, explain the various rock layers and how they contribute to the various landforms. Thanks, also, for explaining how to access the LiDAR maps you use. It's incredible the amount of detail you get when used along with topo maps. I'm still trying to figure out exactly where this giant boulder is though, but I noticed something else nearby. If you look at Mine Branch, a tributary of King Creek, which flows through Brevard College. It has what looks like a circular shaped hanging valley at the headwaters. Where Mine Branch exits the valley is at about 2600' and the rim of the valley is a pretty consistent 3000' to 3200' on all sides. Is that just a result of erosion and different rock layers, or could it be the remnants of some sort of crater? I don't personally know of any other hanging valleys in our area that have such a nearly perfect circular shape. Another facinating thing about the LiDAR images is that you can clearly see the Brevard Fault. I always knew it was there, but have never been able to see it like this before!

Here is another theory. Predator birds could have caught and deposited fish from one to the other. We know that birds catch fish from rivers to deposit them into nearby ponds for a captured food source. Let's get you and an evolutionary biologist together to debate.

Yeah it's got its own viewer like West Virginia. They run a lot of their own mapping. Search for Kentucky from Above and you can probably get a link. It would go to a similar style of viewer to the others. They do have high res lidar for the whole state.

I’d love a video on how these layers of rock actually form inside the earth. It seems like you get all sorts of patterns, thin layers, thick layers, layers of rock sandwiched between other layers. What causes all that difference? Why isn’t the inside of the earth mostly just the same stuff?

So I was randomly looking at a phenomenon that occurs in Patagonia on Google Earth and noticed how extremely similar the vast number of circular and oblong lakes look like carolina bays and these playas... I couldnt help but wonder if the lakes south of Beunos Aires are the current bays with water and some overgrown with vegetation? Does anyone know?
