Dry Falls - Nick On The Rocks

[@martinfromseacity2010]

I water skied and jumped off the cliffs at Sun Lakes, Dry Falls Deep lake about 60 years ago, I had no clue but had some questions. Thanks

[@DoubleADay]

I loved the animation and I'm looking forward to hearing more about dating rocks

[@DoubleADay]

This must Episode 1 of the new season. So awesome to know Nick on the Rocks brought me to this channel and now, here we go again!

[@phillipdavis3316]

This episode is from season 1.

[@ZakhadWOW]

I was passing the Coulee and Dry Falls repeatedly in late 1982 for work, and never did lose my awe of the place

[@markfeagans9679]

I always enjoy your videos, sir. I really liked the water visuals in this one, it's more impactful than just imagining. Thank you!

[@mettenna2635]

These videos stand as a testament to the wonderful geology resource you've created and a pretty good way to get the viewers all fired up for the A to Z starting in November! Thanks, Nick.

[@rmsrmsrmsrms]

Will this be a new AtoZ ?

[@rmsrmsrmsrms]

Answering my own comment! An earlier video announced Ice Age Floods A-Z in Nov 2023 !

[@philodendron6]

Videos better by the day. You are the professor everyone wished they had!

[@stevezap1747]

Wow! Just... wow! Your productions were already great, but... wow.

[@tomassom]

He went over this a little in class today.

[@edithmatheson1828]

This is from season 1, 2016. I noticed that PBS Passport is now offering all four seasons. I hope that means they will have the new erpisodes when they are ready to show.

[@indigenousinterbay4068]

I look out my window at the ridges overlooking the East end of Rock Island, Washington just above Batterman Rd. and can see the fractured lava on the cliffs above and can relate to this well done video presentation.

[@ionizer24]

Good series. Thanks for re-uploading them.

[@Boguardis]

I live here! Well, here in Ephrata. It's cool to see the basin getting some attention!

[@samhklm]

Awesome. I would like to know more about geochronology.

[@Showboat_Six]

When that giant waterfall simulation was occurring, Dryfalls was already cut back to its current shape, which means there were many many many many many more floods before that one simulation

[@mariannesutherland4894]

Another classic 2 Minutes of Nick on the Rocks episode. Have learned so much from these. Thank you Mr Nick.

[@josephkaiser800]

AMEN. I would love to be young again.

[@bigz1179]

That animation was awesome! Always have tried to imagine what it’d look like, hard to comprehend how large of a displacement went through

[@richardhawkinson3020]

Great video. I love the simulation of the water.

[@louiscervantez1639]

EXCELLENT, I enjoyed the fast pace - quick points and especially Andrea’s smile as she explained her craft … like “Iiiiiii got this” - super enjoyed it Nick - Good Job

[@larrydearmon4263]

Love the nick on the rocks

[@ragnapodewski4694]

When I watched with my granddaughter "Ice Age 2", I thought it irrational, for our Northern Germany dammed glacier lakes did not break out, but drained northward to the sea. Thank you, it's very interesting.

[@sharonseal9150]

Alway love a NIck on the Rocks episode!! I would also love to know if there is a table somewhere showing all the erratics that have been tested and dated with this technique together with their location and elevation. Think how this might have changed how Bretz viewed the landscape while he was formulating his explanation!

[@RomoRooster]

I live in west virginia and I've been watching his lectures for years

[@Anne5440_]

I love dry falls, my spirit sings there. I love this video.

[@timroar9188]

Been there several times. Building the excitement.

[@Rachel.4644]

Excellent!! Fresh, with a variety of perspectives, science and visuals. I'm happy to see the flood gaining on the motorhome included. Looking so good, Nick.

[@jforester7]

Given that we now know that humans were in North America around 15-20,000 years ago, it's wild to think that maybe just maybe a few of them witnessed this massive flood. Wild.

[@fallinginthed33p]

30,000 years maybe, from a recent find in NM. These floods must have looked apocalyptic to them if they were around. Or they would have complained about it wrecking their favorite fishing spots.

[@charliewatts6895]

@@fallinginthed33p I wonder if these ice age floods became part of the lore or history.

[@fallinginthed33p]

@@charliewatts6895 I doubt it. I don't think anyone could have survived these floods. The water level would have quickly risen by hundreds of feet and any encampments in river valleys would have been destroyed.

[@Ivan-pl2it]

Worked an alfalfa farm in high school, clearing rocks from a field. We saved the biggest for last and could not move it. After digging down a few feet around the rock there was native American markings. Later in life realized it was placed there by a flood, 2 miles up hill from the columbia river.

[@josephkaiser800]

Hello from Salmon, Idaho...In watching your video on the "Dry Waterfalls". I really enjoyed your water from the Missoula Ice Age, flooding over the desert of central Washington current of today. unless someone has already thought of it, why not show the (flat)?? desert plains and then the results of the action of the waters today.

[@daryljacobson7462]

It's amazing to think of this bone dry desert was not only the sight of massive floods, but of lush forest and Gingko trees.

[@josephkaiser800]

Would you tell me more about this lush forest and

[@daryljacobson7462]

That is what I was told. I know there is petrified wood all over the place. Saddle Mountain, Moses Coulee and of course Gingko Petrified Forest. All in the central part of the central Washington desert. @@josephkaiser800

[@triple_A_rockhound]

Nick On The Rocks was such good show

[@Boguardis]

Also very interesting that there is something called the "Ephrata fan". I've never heard of that before.

[@hestheMaster]

That drone view animation never gets old. However the animation show the present day basalt that remains after the last of over a dozen or so amazingly big floods happened. You mentioned over 350 feet of water careening across the land but a shot with a real size RV on a road ahead of the flood that is at best 15 feet tall shows the animation flood very conservatively high at about 60 feet and not the 350 feet tall flood as mentioned. That's not shown here but is in your "making of the animation" video . Would love to see a more modified vid where the basalt land forms were like before any flood and the actual 350 feet of flood water with erratics and small chunks of icebergs digging up the basalt formations as the very first flood did its work! I bet you would too Nick! Computers today can handle that animation work better than back in 2016 and would love seeing pre Dry Falls flood animation made today !

[@josephkaiser800]

Hello I see are of a like mind.

[@blandp11]

Exellent

[@WenisTRON]

Epic as always

[@k7iq]

LOVE that intro !

[@wesdonze2014]

This new dating technique sounds interesting and useful - hope we get to see some results soon

[@fallinginthed33p]

Is it that new? This episode is from 2016. Cosmogenic radionuclide dating is a fascinating technique that looks for certain elements and isotopes known to be created from exposure to cosmic rays. The longer a rock surface has been exposed to the air, the more time it's had to be bombarded by cosmic rays, and the amount of certain isotopes changes.

[@josecarlosgalvezpacheco5326]

Dios te bendiga 🙏🏻 Nick por la muy interesante y apasionante información que nos brindas con estos videos. Mi sueño en la vida es conocer personalmente los Scablands y visitar Missoula y conocer con mis propios ojos toda esta bendita maravilla de Dios. Saludos y bendiciones desde el bello Cancún 🇲🇽🌴🐠🌊🌞

[@5USgRWFH]

in about one week I'm going to receive 1932 THE GRAND COULEE BY BRETZ COLUMBIA WASHINGTON AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY in the mail! I found a copy in England. All maps and stereographic images included.

[@danwebber9494]

Jealous!

[@jayolson578]

It is awesome. It is easily a book to get lost into and keep reading. I found one in a little old book store in Spokane. Enjoy the read!!

[@StephenGillie]

3:28 Two Sisters on the left.

[@101rotarypower]

Does anyone know when the new PBS segments Nick referenced might be released?

[@tonyyao3528]

Question： There is a huge rock in Big Rock Park sammamish, is it delivered by ice sheet?

[@pizzaman100]

Hope that guy in the RV gets away! :)

[@pXnTilde]

Good content as always, but the tone shifting with the music was a lot

[@gregdavidd]

I really want to know how they can date when a drop-stone was dropped!!

[@senseibear2436]

Ok so - if Nick on the Rocks was a drink, what would be in it? 😅🤔

[@stevewebb7318]

Nick is this your new series ?

[@hestheMaster]

It's old (from 2016 ) but as a refresher for coming this Winter he is going to do Ice Age Floods so stay tuned.

[@stevewebb7318]

Thank You for replying , I look forward to it @@hestheMaster

[@gregwarner3753]

I wonder what the white water canoe folks would rate Dry Falls?

[@Rocket39Smoke14]

And to think that the Missoula Floods happened ~40 times...🤔

[@stephen627]

Holy crap Nick..have you lost weight? Love the vids!

[@robtippin9111]

😎

[@Jack-ne8vm]

More animations! Better idea of scale!

[@user-useff]

The cello is much better than the guitar 😉
