Congrats to my son Jaden! I am so proud of you! ❤🎉

I just did the math. 150 feet x 12 = 1800 inches of movement in 5 minutes .. times 60 seconds per minute, means the fault moved 6 inches per second, for 300 seconds. OMG. That's a scale of rocking I've never considered as possible!

If there were a pocket under the surface of low-viscosity lava, and then it oozed out en masse, weighing down the crust -- would that increase the rate of the surface subsidence, vs. weight alone? Like, we're loading the cake up on top and that's pushing down, but we're also deflating the pressure underneath as the runny lava drains out? And, would there be a way to identify that, like variation in thickness of the lava layers? This is answering so many questions for me, but making my brain wonder even more!

This dude's awesome.

I just went to the Blewett townsite today, and found tge stampmill

Thank you so much 💕💕 With ❤ Suvathi

Woooo Sophia!!! My icon

I’ve always liked your videos, but the first chalk board on the left all I could see was the silhouette of a dog sniffing a cloud.

Is the shale layers causing the gold to drop out. Did the shale layers cool the water in some way.

KING DOBBY!

I am from Florida where Osceola was the name of a Seminole chief. What is the origin of that name in Washington?

As a kid who grew up in Renton I remember my Grandpa telling a few stories about driving the Sunset Highway to Eastern Washington in his Model T. I was born in 1950 and I remember us driving to Spokane before Interstate 90, so we drove the Sunset Highway back in the late 1950s in Dad's 1949 Ford. I love the Bing Crosby and geology mix. I hung out a few summers at Gonzaga in the late 1970s at the music department. I grew up in Earlington, West Renton, just below the Sunset Highway (SR 900). This was a wonderful conversation, Nick. Thanks!

This whole video is a testiment to the whole idea/theory of us being in the "goldylocks" zone. We JUST SO HAPPEN to reside in the little section where 30ft of ash isn't falling on us, and looking back over millions of years you can see multiple supernova explosions as pictured here 1:05:10:49 There are hundreds of billions of things that could have gone wrong to make sure life doesn't work on this planet, but it somehow did.

Glad to see this one wasn’t inundated with ridiculous comments from the tree people. Nick did not deserve that bullshit pseudoscience ambush.

This was AMAZING!

This man can teach!! Very interesting.

None of the rivers of the Pacific Northwest are deep enough to be "ancient"! The Columbia Gorge, with its slab-sided canyons, was carved by a LOT of water, not just the Columbia, and NOT "ice age melt" (if that had been the agent, the canyons would have gone farther back into northeastern Washington. The Dry Falls is part of the "old river", probably cut off by lava flows 3,000-4,000 years ago. The Snake carved out 7,000 feet of Hell's Canyon, but did anyone ever ask themselves, "HOW did the water get UP there?" The entry point for the Snake, to the area where Hell's Canyon is located, is lower, by thousands of feet, than the top. The entirety of southern Idaho would have had to be under about 3-5,000 feet of water (it very well might have been, too)! My alternate theory is the river was flowing, high, wide and mighty, at the time the lava began mounting up, something you deny, too, but there it is. HOW do you get millions of pounds of water UPHILL, to get around the lava? Probably by the river being large enough to tolerate the lava flowing into it's path, pushing it aside as it cooled, and continuing to flow at the bottom of a "canyon" not carved, but formed by elasticity. Nothing else in the area is close to being an "old river", and I've been on most, if not all. The Fraser, across the border, gives ever appearance of being a very young river, as does the Salmon, in eastern Idaho. Can we stop imitating "Six Blind Indian Fakirs Describing an Elephant to the Rajah"? If you're holding the tail, of a three-ton beast, it is very NOT "like a rope". You live in a state where vertical offsets are measured in thousands of feet, over hundreds of feet, horizontally. That fact should tip you off to the extraordinary nature of the fashioning of the existing landscape. I don't say "creation", because the events that changed the Northwest were long, long after any "creation" of the Earth. It probably happened between 4,500 and 2,750 years ago, not even an eyeblink, in geological terms! Not "millions of years ago", the favorite timeline of geologists, who confuse the age of a stone, with its (downstream, somewhere) positioning. Who look at the Grand Canyon, and claim a river like the Colorado "did it". The Columbia would be hard-pressed to do it, in the right circumstances! The landscape of the Northwest, and the disappearance of the Farallon Plate were contemporaneous, as ONAC pushed against the Accretionary Plate that started in Siberia, came across the Arctic Ocean bed, to the point where the Brooks Range peters out (and the northern boundary of ancient ONAC enters the "continental borders", following the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies, down to Wyoming, where the Fractured Craton that held the Colorado Plateau held its place, traversing westward around that craton, continuing down to the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madres, to that whoop-ti-do, The landscape LOOKS like it is that young, NOT like it is "millions", much less "billions" of years old. I've travelled every paved road, and most of the unpaved roads, in the region, over the last 70 years, many of them multiple times, many long before fences, freeways, or people cluttered the view. I don't claim to "know" the answers, but I do claim there is plenty of evidence to deny your claims. Ice Ages and "melt-lakes" are further examples of that odd thinking process I mentioned earlier. One of the poles was probably located in the Yellowstone area, then shifted to the northeastern corner of modern Oregon, before shifting back. It didn't stay there, either. Another polar loci was in the Gulf of Alaska, off the coast, now obliterated, but lining up with the whoop-ti-do at the end of that peculiar offset coming off the southern tip of South America, winding around, 1,500 miles away, to return to Antarctica. In that end point, a polar location appears to have existed, briefly. There are other such places, and archaeologists have known about polar relocations for generations, from the peculiar quality of wet clay, in its transformation to ceramic or porcelain, when it adopts the magnetic signature of the Earth. Seven different positions of "north" have been found, indicating that seven times, the Earth was dislodged from its orbital orientation. Interestingly, the "temple" at Jerusalem was razed to its foundations, seven times, in the same general time period. This becomes significant, when one understands, the "temple" had a door, on its "easterly" wall, that opened onto another door, and another, until finally, a door opened on the altar. When the first rays of the rising sun touched the altar, through those doors, the Jews knew it was the first day of Spring, or, time to plant. Similarly, a door on the westerly wall opened onto a series of doors, that would allow the setting Sun to shine through to the altar, alerting the same Jews it was the first day of Fall, time to prepare for Winter. The wanderers of the Albertan prairies, of the same general time period, made "medicine wheels", to confirm the locations of the Sun, and to verify the seasons. A Chinese emperor of the same ancient times sent out parties to "locate the four quarters of the world", something one would only do if the poles had been moved. There is more than enough evidence to support catastrophism, but geologists like that "steady state" idea, for Earth, if not for elsewhere. Things have been quiet for a while, on the human scale, but on the geological scale, the past was recently unimaginably violent, catastrophically deadly, and overwhelmingly destructive. ©BW2024 COPYRIGHT RETAINED BY AUTHOR 05/30/2024 anarchitek™

This is exactly what is going on in Iceland right now. new fissure today.

The additional 22 additional deposits could be a remnant of the ice age where the northern zone was covered in a heavy ice sheet, stopping the introduction of sand through the boundary of water and ice. If my theory has any basis in truth, that would put Washington on the same timeline as the rest of the northern West Coast.

Love this guy's lectures. I used to find geology boring in high school, but Zentner makes it very interesting, bringing a historical perspective & relating the work to local landmarks 👍🏻👍🏻

This was very interesting to me as I live about eight miles from the coast near Eureka Ca and know what a seven earthquake is. So far my house has stayed on the foundation, but it has destroyed a boat load of dishes, TV, etc. Thank you.

I wasn't aware of these caves. Thanks Nick.

Are you on drugs? Lava doesn't form geometric structures

Hi there, this is an engineer asking a question regarding geology, who would have thought? Could the extra small deposits in the southern canyons of the major fault have been triggered by quakes from the San Andreas fault when that has let go in the past, is there any correllation on the time line of the two systems. Ive heard some talk regarding stress transferring along a fault like a zipper and was wondering what happened at the dead end of a fault like the SA? Regards Kevin m

50:20 ‘this glacial erotic was brought in from Canada’ Insert your own joke here…

This is how I found you Nick !

What a great teacher. Thank you

These pillows are as hard as rocks!!

To Bad this Place is now destroyed by the masses who cant respect nature a choose to bring out the 28ft trailer house and drive off the roads to set up there glamping sites to bad so sad...😢 it was tent only, vans, truck campers . Now it looks like trailer park manor...

I was watching, waiting for just the right evidence. At 51:40 the images of the dead trees made it clear. My deduction skills tell me that no way those trees died only by suffocating under water. Yes they were clearly flooded, which delivered their final death throws and didn’t allow the trees to regrow from sprouts, like the great sequoias did. Those trees were splintered off at the bases. It appears to me that a massive Tunguska type wind blew them all away. If you look carefully at the sequoias, the bases which are about thirty feet, are still intact and look a lot like the trees in your old photos, except much bigger. Because they were not suffocated by water they were able to send shoots up to save the roots and regrow. Those growths are now know as fairy rings or fairy circles and the shoots have grown into three foot diameter trees of their own now. I’d sure love to get dates on those fairy ring trees.

Always amusing to watch Americans ignore the second largest country on earth that's right above them. It's like they have a collective detachment.

This guy, let’s call him Nick for now, has the unique talent of taking a mundane, dare I say..boring subject, an eye lid dropper at best, into a informative, engaging and entertaining lecture! The kind where 11:23 you walk away with a smile, a lot more knowledge than u had b4 and a warm fuzzy feeling in your stomach ( or that’s lunch kickin in, idk) a hallmark of a Great teacher who obviously cares about his subject and audience. Good job Nick, if indeed that is your real name! Ty

im tracking metals from a spring

It's a bet that lots of people in Minamisanriku and Onagawa thought that a huge tsunami would never happen.

Nick is GREAT!

Ive love geography, but not really borders or political stuff. Found this guy and now i know i like geography

201st comment says Mount Stuart, before Stuart mounts YOU! ..or, ... not.

Wow! Very interesting.

Dude, this video beat my ADHD. Thanks! I love learning this field

Terrific presentation. I am now more informed and better educated. My thanks.

Oh this is a deep Nick deep cut
