Formation of the Mediterranean and the Alps

[@nickynockyknackynoo2346]

Very enjoyable and nicely paced. Thank you. If I might just add that I found the dynamics of the music drowned out the commentary sometimes. But thanks. Liked it!

[@kwillow12]

The music was a bit too loud. Otherwise, excellent.

[@TWOCOWS1]

Very nice and well documented. Thanks for making and posting this

Great job, perfect video

[@NH-dj1ff]

This is a nicely put together video, thank you, it was very helpful and fun!

[@gianlucazaga8200]

thanks for this explanation, a video done very well!

[@ktseng1]

Very well done, thanks! You made a serious subject fun. Would you consider a similar cartoon on Black Sea? I am intrigued by its many anomalies like salinity, sulphide and anoxic layer. Another natural wonder so close to Mediterranean!

Amazing illustration and great voice over. Thank you for the awesome and informative explanation

Thank you🙏

Very enjoyable, but if I may, I believe, based on the scars along the coast, and based on ancient maps, that Italy was once a row of volcanoes running west to east, and attached at the Gibraltar Strait. At some point billions of years ago, they became detached, and for a while Italy was an island, until it ploughed into the Spanish coast and has since been crawling its way to where it is now, and it's still moving. If you look at the top of Italy, you'll see a half hexagon shape where it attaches to the Alps. Energy from volcanic flows and earthquakes is directed along the fault line that runs ahead of Italy, gathering first at Greece. When this charge becomes sufficiently strong, Italy becomes a cannon, and this speeds up its travel and decimates and spreads the land in the path of the cannon. This can be seen in the landscape and the sea floor at the mouth of the Gibraltar Strait, then again between Spain and France (the big chunk that is missing), and then again where Doggerland used to be. It can also be seen in the geological maps of Europe. Those half hexagon shapes can be seen along that coast line, with the largest one running between Valencia and Barcelona, with another at Montpelier. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on my theory.

[@ettagonet]

your description is very interesting and I congratulate you on it, but many details are still to be verified and that is why, in my very general animation, I could not take them into account

[@TheIrvy]

@@ettagonet Thank you for taking the time to reply, I greatly appreciate it. I've been studying the satellite maps, and in so many places the terrain tells the story. I also think that current events may be about to educate us all in how the gaps are filled in and show us all what we got right and wrong. Vortex energy shaping the layers above the crust along with the plate movements, like a weather system. I'd be a little more excited about the lesson if I wasn't sitting right in the line of fire!

[@ArcanusEst]

That is some amazing gymnastics that Spain did. :/ I thought this was a great video, but there was something missing. You didn't talk about the different tectonic plates active in the region, just that Italy and Europe were separate. I would have liked to have seen a superimposed image of the tectonic plates at least once so we could better understand why the supercontinent broke up and why the pieces moved the way they did. Otherwise, I really liked this video. Well done.

Superbe animation ! Bien que faite avec très peu de moyens, elle est très pédagogique ! Bravo ! Je n'ai pas encore vu le reste de votre chaîne KZbin mais une animation équivalente pour montrer l'orogenèse de la partie orientale des Alpes (la partie yougoslave et grecque, et la déformation des Balkans) serait, je pense une bonne idée pour obtenir au final une vue d'ensemble de toute cette conséquence de la progression de l'Afrique vers le nord, surtout en mettant en évidence son pivot, son point de rotation au nord du Caire. Une troisième (on voit loin...) pour montrer la naissance de la Turquie et de tout le Proche-Orient quelques millions d'années plus tôt... et le tableau serait complet. Bravo en tout cas pour cette excellente vidéo très pédagogique !

[@ettagonet]

merci, votre idée est interesante

Nice! Thanks a lot!

excellent. so scientific (instead of the usual razzle dazzle non-science). congratulations

[@guisilva5000]

Calling it Spain and not Iberia? Why? Why is Portugal always forgotten?

[@gone41214]

yes.

[@PrettySmartScience]

Not Spain- Iberia. There are two countries in the Iberian microcontinent.

[@gmverber437]

Why have distracting background music which impairs concentration on, as well as retention of, any information being presented - as is well shown in many published studies? If one feels it necessary to add music to keep the attention of the viewer, perhaps one should consider re-writing the talk. Myself, I found the talk to be well organized and interesting (and not in need of revision) however the annoying distraction of the music caused me to quit after only a few minutes.

[@slayerslayer7623]

Man, making fantasy maps is really hard when there's so much random stuff that can happen to the plates.

[@ettagonet]

we're not talking about the future of the plates!

[@bricedemeester7601]

I never heard about the fact that Italy kind of created the alps, are you sure about this ?

[@ettagonet]

Yes

Spain? You could call it Iberia, or Hispania, or Iberian Peninsula... But Spain? Correct it and we will not keep hard feelings. With the best regards, Portugal.

Je regrette de vous avoir froissé, mais nous avons volontairement utilisé un langage compréhensible pour tous. La péninsule Ibérique malheureusement est connue par le grand publique comme Espagne. C'est la vie!

It's Not Mont Blanc It's Monte Bianco.. It's An Italian Mountain not french

[@ettagonet]

Sorry, but the mountain you're talking about is on the border between France and Italy, so Monte Bianco or Mont Blanc is right.

[@eviljoy8426]

@@ettagonet nope cuz the top belongs to Italy and all the world say wrong cuz it's Monte Bianco not Mont Blanc!

[@colinp2238]

This lost credulity for me because no mention of plate tectonics but when you show a picture of an ancient sea "seen" by Olivier Gonet I have to ask how old is he? His statement about artists and poets is utter rubbish for most of human history man has not known that the continents drift so why would they write or sing about it? The last part of his statement only makes sense if he had been on the cognac before he wrote it.

[@ettagonet]

[@DeborahLuptak]

+colinp2238 - It has been said that Leonardo DaVinci was passionate about geology as well as science, astronomy, etc. and made some astounding observations. He went up into the Alps to paint and began to study them very closely. He noticed various oddities about the age of the rocks which were on top of one another and saw how vast the age difference was between the two, in some cases by millions of years. He noticed sea shell fossils which were from millions of years prior, in the old rocks on top of other rocks which were much younger, knowledge he also derived from fossils. He came to believe that this had to have something to do with the earth's crust being pushed or forced upward. Scientists looking back now are amazed at how accurate DaVinci was when he theorized how the mountains and valleys in the Alps were formed. He theorized that it had something to do with the earth's crust being forced upwards. Without the knowledge of plate tectonics, he wrote that (I am paraphrasing here) 'some other force unknown to man must have occurred for this to happen'. The documentary shown here is not as succinct as what I have read and documentaries I have seen about the Alps and other mountain ranges as well as the sea floor. One very good documentary was from the History Channel in Season One of How The Earth Was Made - episode 13, I believe. Both seasons are well worth watching but that episode deals only with how the Alps were formed. It does a much better job of explaining DaVinci's uncanny observations than I do. Cheers!
