Silver Pass Volcanics (and Teanaway Basalt)

[@russellbarndt6579]

Just absolutely wow that I can come watch videos and learn so much with which is only because you are interested in doing so, and so I am humbled

[@BillyBob-h6i]

Mt. Amabilis is the W side of the lake and therefore Naches formation. It is the home of the popular Cabin Creek cross-country ski area. Every time I get to the top I think of Nick’s video of a couple of years ago also noting the Teanaway and Silver Creek. Now even more detail. Awesome.

[@OkieJammer2736]

I've said 'Wow' out loud several times during this video. This. Is. Interesting. Stuff. Thanks to Jeff Tepler and to you, Nick for always digging for answers!

[@glenncruickshank2859]

You continue to amaze me on how you can just walk out on a dry lake bed and without script or production crew can produce 20 minutes of tight, flowing, conversational, informative content on-the-scene. Wow. One of your best field productions.

[@kidmohair8151]

thanks Prof Zentner. what a lovely stretch of water and rocks and trees oh my...and light and shadow. i hope things are going well for you and yours. Happy C-mas!

[@yukigatlin9358]

Seems like, the NA hits Siletzia 51 ma, makes cracks in the crust, eventually leads to Teanaway lava intrusions?! So fun to think what may have happened in 51 ma that eventually leads to the birth of Cascades... Thanks for the visuals, Nick, I enjoyed a lot!!😃✨💞💛

[@mwilson14]

I used to camp exactly where you are standing Nick. I also got my Jeep stuck in the mud a few hundred yards away from that spot too. LOL.

[@stevemorgan2438]

So good. Thanks for sharing your insight and curiosity. Inspirational as always. 😊

[@redskybeach]

Thank you for taking the time to present this to us. Fascinating!

[@66kbm]

You still tease us with videos between the Cascades A-Z. I have no objection, all i see is more information and greater knowledge that will only help with the ongoing series. Thank you for an unexpected one.

[@inqwit1]

Thoroughly enjoy traveling this lane. That I could follow and comprehend is a testament to Nick's pathway unfolding for us mortals.

[@OkieJammer2736]

Well said. Isn't this fun?

[@sharonseal9150]

Exciting video Nick - I always am partial to the field trips that you take us on! This particular field trip made me think again about the Eocene volcanic evidence in Corbally Canyon in Douglas County, not too far from Burch Mountain as the crow flies, and the speculated association with the Teanaway. Thanks for always giving me something to think about and research!

[@daytonlights-peterwine468]

For sure one of my favorites from you. Not just because of the content, but the presentation... it's as if we're hiking along with you, and learning together. I started this with lunch, and finished it with dinner's dessert. :) Bring on episode E!

[@starr_helix6770]

Fantastic light Nick 👍. Description of what we’re looking at, the dates as shown and potential cause/source begins to make sense. And it all on your doorstep. God, I think I need to come live there…. Awesome country and lovely people. ❤❤ good to hear Liz feeling better & 🤞doing well.

[@TheVillageIdiotUk]

Thank you, Nick. Fascinating stuff… as always. I’d like to commend and applaud your use of high definition HDR video. It really does add an extra visual dimension, makes the colours really “pop” on a sunny day and gives it an almost 3D-like quality. Although I live around 10 miles north of the Jurassic Coast, Dorset in 🇬🇧, I used to work for a company headquartered near Portland, OR and have spent many happy weekends driving through the Cascades, Columbia River valley and surrounds in company visit downtime. In that environment one cannot help but wonder how all those magnificent geological structures got there and how it all fits together. Thank you for all you do to educate us lesser mortals. 😊

[@paulbrallier7028]

Been going up Silver Creek since we were married 43 years ago. very nice wild flowers 3/4 way up to the hanging valley head. After all these years I dont know which rock type is at the out crop. a good goal for a family hike to test the waters. some late spring, early melt exposures to test the legs and much less effort than iron peak. take care from battery fully charged.

[@sharonewidow6027]

To know the geology of ones backyard where they live as intimately as you do would be simply wonderful. Thank you for sharing your geology of where you live with the rest of us. We can feel your energy when you are sharing which makes us just as in awe of where you are and a bit I think in love with Washington geology. :D

[@pathorgan8643]

Great…brings field life to what we have heard through your videos with Jeff Tepper. Very helpful to understand the concepts - thanks Nick!

[@jenniferlevine5406]

Love these 'casual' walk abouts! Such an amazing story, the geology and the process of understanding it. Thank you for taking us there on such a gorgeous day!

[@watcherspirit2351]

Thank you! You geology lessons always lift me up.

[@lorrainewaters6189]

This was terrific! The scenery is gorgeous: I shall remember this lesson (ie. not all Cascade volcanoes have a subduction story). Siletzia seems to get more and more interesting.

[@doncook3584]

The more videos I watch the more I thirst for more. Fascinating addictive

[@naoakiooishi6823]

Crazy is what happened, not the researcher who finds the clues. Thanks!

[@LoganPEade]

Very fascinating professor Zentner thank you so much I truly enjoyed this! Logan fr. Redding CA

[@BP_in_OR]

I am a simple man, when I hear Teanaway and Tropics mentioned together, I sit my ass down and listen.

[@secubish]

I really love this channel, thank you Nick

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I love this.

[@frankwilson2607]

Thanks for getting this out Nick! Dramatic shift in understanding.

[@1234j]

Exciting stuff. Thank you from England 🎉

[@rosiealaniz3205]

Soo interesting ! Gracias Profe Nick!

[@xwiick]

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

[@kban77]

This reminds me of the columbia flood basalts preceding the yellowstone track and how it relates to the breaking of the subducting plate. Not the same process exactly but it reminds me of it all the same

[@AintNoFool]

I miss living in Kittitas County. Thank you for this. ❤

[@utubewatcher806]

I'm impressed with the 1974 typewriter graphics. Wow!!

[@StanDavid-ix6yk]

Beautiful country

[@dougdechand4776]

I have a hard time explaining how happy I am to see everyone of your reports you are an educator you would not school us

[@jamesdriscoll_tmp1515]

Great information about a place iv'e visited years ago.

[@StewartSmith-g4f]

Thank you Nick!

[@skyecooleyartwork]

A thousand years from now archaeologists will discover human footprints that go in circles. Ancient KZbinrs.

[@stevengeorge5605]

Thank you, Ned! 🙂

[@hardrockgirl5844]

Oooh bonus time! 😊

[@pmgn8444]

Thanks Nick! Interesting as always.

[@AICantMakeArt]

beautiful

[@alexpiper9475]

thanks ! happy holidays to you and yours.

[@gdaubenspeck]

Nicely done, Nick!

[@danielstevens5135]

Thank you. This explains a lot. :)

[@grandparocky]

Nice visual for this winter!

[@broadfjord7087]

I’m sure that NBD was sourced from a cool geologic fact i don’t know about, i let out a chuckle anywhoo. Thanks Nick!

[@cyndikarp3368]

Helps to bring into focus some of the consequences of Siletzia collision with already dock exotic terranes.

[@charlesflorian1758]

Surprised me today1 Nice!😊😊

[@kellyhorton1462]

Good afternoon Prof Z

[@jilllawrence1495]

Damn I was there in Cle Elm Tuesday. My host left Portland on our way to Wenatchee too late in the day to see this. I'll be back next Spring on my own.

[@Poppageno]

Jeff Tepper this is fantastic information, thanks for sharing! Nick does this break off event then become the blender for the Melange Belt? Beautiful video! Thanks!!

[@KevinFournier-xd3ub]

Isn't it bizarre that we live on a crusted over ball of a hot liquid?

[@seanthorntonmd3908]

Nicely filmed, Nick. Question: I think the top of the Teanaway basalt in the video is near 3000 ft elevation. Do you or Jeff have an idea of the altitude of the eruption, i.e. was the Teanaway formation erupted closer to sea level? If so, was it just the general uplift that formed the Cascades that you are going to teach us this winter that caused these older lava flows to now live so high up?

[@davec9244]

Plate breakoff any other examples around the world? thank you, nice job Professor

[@Kyle-b5x2k]

It feels like there are not enough letters to cover the Cascades so these videos are great to fit in between 'official' letters. As a side, anyone else wonder what sort of earthquakes result from a subducting plate breaking? I'm sure it didn't happen all at once, but still (!!!).

[@Dave-Xtown-Ohio]

👍👍👍

[@kennethcook6195]

What subducting plate made the teanaway formation and the silver pass volcanics? Thank you for the update on your wife Liz. Our thoughts and prayers are with her. Kenny Cook From Eugene, Oregon. More siletzia country and Cascades. 😊

[@markpainter7101]

Stump Lake!

[@greatergood3706]

How old is the lake?

[@montejarvis]

Is there a relationship btwn Tepper's Plate tear and the tear on the seattle fault we saw from the video on sieltzia?

[@rmsrmsrmsrms]

Is Tepper's talk available to watch?

[@StewartSmith-g4f]

Is that a caldera rim or remnants of a cinder cone wall?

[@williamp2359]

Why would a tear in a plate create lava? Doesn't most of the crust of North America sit directly on top of the upper mantle without volcanics being created? Is it because of the water released from the broken plate or is it something else?

[@karihamalainen9622]

Afternoon - your landscape has almost green leaves some part so is this record? Here in Finland there are no leaves left in trees. I antisipate this is recorded late septembre? And from video I can see iceage has not touched those mountains? Rough edges.

[@karihamalainen9622]

Sorry - video just said date!

[@skyecooleyartwork]

Is that hat grellow?

[@randyferron]

Is his wife ok?

[@aurelioperez1363]

hello Mine deared Proffesor Mr Zentner from ye olde Castille Spain with admiration for your work!🫂
