A Geologist can tell you more facts about the weather than the entire crew at the weather channel. No GW bs.. just the facts.

Kansas has some pretty interesting history. I live in Hays and have visited the Sternberg Museum dozens of times and I'm still fascinated by it. I need to make a trip to view some of the places he talked about here.

also I am very much enjoying bro’s presentation style. His expressions and movements very much remind me of some the science and PBS shows I watched as a child in the 1990s😂. I assure you sir, it is intended as a compliment! Totally got some childhood flashbacks which gave me all the feels and memories of watching childhood science shows on PBS and learning cool things!

A glacial terminus is located in Topeka just north of SW29th, east of its intersection with Gage Blvd. In that area of town there are many large pink Sioux quartzite boulders scattered around the landscape.

So cool!! We have 40 acres on top of the Quitman Mtn range in West Tx. From there you can see that it was an ancient sea bed and can make out the shore line as far as you can see. Up on top theres fish, plant life and shell fossils and even some whale bones. Its crazy how the climate and surface of the earth has changed and shifted. I love this stuff

Good video. I took a couple of geology classes at Washburn, taught by someone from the KGS. I don’t remember his name, this was during the 1980’s I think. But fun to revisit the glaciers with you!

I live in Wamego and not only enjoy the splendor of the flint hills but also the relics of the massive glacier that terminated here. Great video!!!!!

0:02 Great presentation! We have several 'love notes' from the glaciers here in Ohio. We have glacial grooves on Kelley's Island. River valleys were filled in by the glacier. One named Teas (tayes) River flowed west to empty in the Mississippi River. The curve of it still shows on topographical map. The glacier dammed up one of the rivers in Pennsylvania. The river used to flow into Lake Ontario. It found an outlet to the south and joined another river to form the Ohio River. There are geological formations in New York state carved by the overflowing lakes as they sought an outlet. There is a large erratic in the state park northeast of Springfield, Ohio. Fascinating information.

I've been fascinated with glaciers since I was a tiny kid because I was always told the last ice sheet ended a few miles from my home, at what is now the Missouri River of northeastern Nebraska. However, so many stories about the many ice ages seem to contradict other stories, even various documentaries from the same source. PBS, for example. Many documentaries will show an illustration of the first ice sheet. Then it shows the next ice sheet millions of years later. the next, the next, the next, AND THEY KEEP SHOWING THE EXACT SAME IMAGES. This makes me strongly think some geniuses aren't taking this very seriously. -- As near as I can tell, only one person ever documented WHERE the various Moraines are in North America--the massive hills formed at the end of an ice sheet. That was in 1906. I own a copy of the guy's book. What current documentaries are saying doesn't match where the moraines are. -- So, WHICH Ice Age did its thing in Kansas?

I am fascinated with erratics. As an expat living in China, I meet many ‘erratic’ people carried here from all over the world. These long-staying foreigners seem out of place, much Mike the erratic stones. They were carried to China and elsewhere by ‘glacial’ forces and dropped, perhaps due to a divorce or job loss. This parallels the explanation for erratic stones in Kansas, England, and Northern Europe.

Just imagine the glaciers were 300' - 500' thick. I live in Lawrence in Douglas County. I find it hard to fathom.

I mean I live in South East Kansas. It's called the flint hills here. The hills are the same. I've found a low point in the creek where the creek flowes over exposed rock and it looks exactly like the rock with the lines in it. I was wondering what could have made it. I thought maybe an earthquake but after seeing this it makes more sense

Doniphan Co has the best farm ground in the state of Kansas. It is steep ground and endless top soil. They call it sugar dirt up there. I live one county south and we have tiger 💩to farm here.

Kansas used to be in an Ocean full of life and stuff. Researchers and things learned about the way it used to be by coming up with scintillating guesses and stuff.

Yes it was an ocean…..but that was 65-100 million years ago. In more recent times 2-3 million years ago it wasn’t an ocean anymore and was partially covered in ice.

No drumlins or moraines evident in that landscape?? I've seen those same rock striations in Bar Harbor Maine. Can someone explain how the earth cooled that much to enable glaciers to cover that much of North America and then warm enough to melt miles of ice?? Climate Change??

I dug up a rock about 2 years ago on my hill that has a perfect clam shape,ridges,etc.Its been exposed to elements about 2 years now and the sandstone has worn so much you can barely tell what the fossil is.Theres no way they are millions of years old.
