British Columbia Geology: Lecture and Video Documentary

British Columbia has a unique geology that both supports and limits its development. This is a result of the forces of plate tectonics and the physical structure of the earth. The Ice Age and glaciers have greatly affected the entire provincial landscape.
This video documentary explains and describes the basics of the geology of British Columbia and the west coast of Canada and North America. Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are spread across the map of B.C. as a result of the movement of tectonic plates.
Mining, metals, minerals, gems, gemstones, oil and gas are important to the British Columbia economy and jobs. This lecture on the geological history of Canada and North America gives insights into the enormous time scale of eras as well as the latest Ice Age and glaciation. It covers the bedrock and terranes of the province

Beautiful. I cannot imagine time being better spent, a lesson being better taught, a story being better told. Thank you!

[@PreCaspian]

OK. I am a geologist. Way too old to reveal my age. But in all my travels, I have not seen a better video on the geological history of BC. Superb. And fun.

[@Kumtuks]

From someone so knowledgeable about this, a great honour.

[@marianrooth9514]

I'm learning so much from you and NICK ZENTNER. Thanks

Very interesting! Thanks for the knowledge.

[@ninareid3007]

thank you immensely for this video. i am slowly beginning to understand the geologic history of bc and the incredible scale of plate tectonics!!!

[@Kumtuks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Superb video, very informative and attention-keeping, and lovely to learn about the great province I call home.

It all Sounds So Simple 🌏

[@moth7457]

Is that blue thick line from Jasper to Williams Lk., the Fraser River? What is that yellow wavy line blocking it? Mountains? Where does all the Lower Mainland water come from? I am referring to Still Creek, Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake, Trout Lake? The waterfall plus all the lakes in Van Dusen Gardens, Little Mountain, etc... come from?

So Van isl traveled a long way to come hang out with Canada

How do we go back to being an island?

[@moth7457]

kzbin.infoUgkxIAqkscQiwytf4yptoxL7y-OAzxXyRQuY?si=8aqToHhe0kTnW39O I don't know what you are talking about when you said the Fraser River used to flow north. Where did it go when flowing north. And what exactly did not erode? Which mountains are those?

[@Kumtuks]

The part of the Fraser river that is not navigable, between Yale and Fort Alexandria is new. If that were older, it would be navigable, and there would have been time to erode the river bed. There was an outlet to the peace river just north east of Prince George. With the upheaval in the land and the melting of ice sheets, the Fraser river changed its direction south, and west to the Pacific Ocean.
