Total time elapsed in this sequence of rocks is 2.7 billion years. Several have asked about high vs low-energy deposits. I should have expanded on the use of these terms. Larger grain sizes require more energy to transport and deposit than do low energy deposits. Clay-size particles are the lowest energy in that they can float in calm water for long distances before depositing. Very high-energy deposits like cobbles or boulders require a lot of energy to transport and are deposited quickly as energy is dissipated (water or wind velocity slowing down). There is a full range in particle size and energy required to transport them.

[@gregjones2217]

I knew this. However, I want to thank you for taking your time to explain it to everyone. Your explanation of the environment of the formations and how they intertwine was fantastic.

I second that opinion, Myron is a wonderful teacher listening to these videos helps me get over the fact I never went to college and it shows it truly is never too late to learn

[@zengerz]

@@kenboydart Sure college can teach you some things or 2 but you will end up brainwashed and weaker than to actually learn yourself. 2 myron doesnt know that much at all, its just that most folk dont know their stuff and believe everything ppl like myron say to them as it blows them off their feet because it makes a little sense. We dont live on a globe ball of water for example, yet this biologist does not understand this basic knowledge; that proves a person dumb and incapable.. No education or college will make it so that you are actually born more intelligent........ I dont need a diploma/degree in stuff to show the so called experts who is born more intelligent and can tell them how it works withot having the need to blindly copycat books from others when it fits the system or narrative of history

Hey Myron! My daughter will be 7 in 10 days. She LOVES your videos. Your teaching style has captured her attention and she is really beginning to show an interest in geology and is already contemplating time in a manner that I’ve never seen a child consider. You went and sucked ME in as well, and I am grateful for that. I haven’t been this interested in a subject since I first got into emergency medicine about 25 years ago. Thank you for all of this!

Myron, it struck me when you compared contemplating time in geological formations with staring into to unimaginable depths of a clear night sky. As I've aged and am better able to ponder things beyond survival for myself and family, which we know we spend most of our adult life doing. I'm not able to escape the light and pollution clouded sky's where we live nearly as much as I'd like. I share to feeling of insignificance when looking into a canyon walls as well as the infinite sky's. Thanks for taking the time to create these wonderful lessons!😊

Hello Myron. I travel all over the Midwest as a pilot car. Almost on a daily basis I am in awe with the nature I see. And as I would pass by the mountains with all the exposed layers, I would always Ponder what has happened to create these layers. So when I found you, I found a treasure trove of answers to my questions. It's like reading a book now as I drive down the road with the information you have given me. And Myron, I can't express how grateful I am for the opportunity to know you through these videos.

[@rodneycaupp5962]

Archaeologic time overlaps the time of the near surface of the earth. You are wise to follow this information... just adjust in to your understanding of Ancient archeology to include recent Geology. That's where the truth lay in deposits.... Where I am in sw Ohio, the upper 3 to 6 meters of recent , (11,600 year old) Deposits. Stone age tools are found all around Ohio.

[@michellewarmath7811]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and the drone footage makes it even clearer and more awe-inspiring. I kept pausing it while I tried to imagine all the periods when the layers were being formed, when the lifting and lowering and eroding took place, and marveling at how the planet has gone through so many cycles of change. When the layers eroded, where did the dust and soil go? Part of the various periods of ancient to more recent Wyoming must have flowed or blown to the rest of the continent and vice-versa and maybe even somewhere else. It really makes you think about time and connection. Thank you for explaining it so well and showing up close how amazing it all is, Mr. Cook. I'm looking forward to the next video and hope to see these formations for myself in the near future. :)

A good way to think of most such things. Words like “all, none, always, never, etc.” are very rarely correct to use, and proliferate like poisonous apples in Internet commentary, the refuge of the lazy. Very many Americans, I suspect, as well as human beings elsewhere on the planet, don’t think the world is 6,000 years old, simply because they’ve never thought about it, nor are likely to.

[@TheCRHKing]

Yeah, when you’re wrong about some thing you want everyone else to be wrong about it also. You don’t want to be the only one in your class to fail a test so if you fail you secretly hope many other people if not everyone in your class failed it also. You think the teacher will give you a second chance because there must have been something wrong with the test if everyone failed. In this analogy, God is the teacher and if you die in your sins, you are going to you spend eternity In worse conditions than you can imagine. You will not be given a second chance once you die.

Mind blowing stuff Myron. And before I comment, Much thanks for the priceless contribution! I like to think about the relationship between evolutionary geology and biological evo. Think of all the accidental incidents in geology that influenced bio evolution. Especially when you factor in the great extinctions including snowball earth. What an extremely rare chance that advanced primates like us could have evolved. And like the identity of a DNA molecule or a personal finger print, any evolved life form has it's own unique identity. So when you factor in the immense scale of time, we are like an intelligent form of bacteria that will come to pass forever after just a few hours on the cosmic calendar. That is how small we really are. We are an incredible gift from the stars! imo

Dear Prof Cook - I so much appreciate your knowledge, academic expertise, and generous manner in which you deliver new knowledge to me and others! I drove from Phoenix, up the west side of Nevada, then through the northern Sierra. Each represent incredibly different geological provinces. Volcanics everywhere. The into the southern Cascades, Lassen and its fumaroles, the. Over to Susanville and Alturas, just because I’d never been to that corner of California. Next, driving into the serious Cascades, Shasta and north. Hiked down to Crater Lake, amazed at the violent removal of the upper part of Mt Mazuma only perhaps 7000 years ago. And the rest of the Oregon cascades, Thiessen is especially interesting. My point is that I had planned an epic circuit that included Wyoming, and the possibility to meet you. I’m already 1300 miles into my trip and nearly halfway through my PTO 😞. I still need to get to the Scablands. Don’t think I could make it to Wyoming and then back home in the time remaining.

I love how you presented things in the "How the Earth Was Made!" pictorial way so that we could see what types of environments created those rock layers. I guess that must be how geologists present things generally.

Hey Myron. Just a side note. I was screwing around in a place that is about 15 miles south of duck creek bridge in billings. Its in the beginnings of the foot hills of the foot hills of the pryors. Believe it or not, we actually flushed up a griz in that area. Though they ranged out into the plains in the past before colonization, its not impossible to find one following the the river basins or riparian zones down out of the mountains. That spot was nearly 50 miles from red lodge and the Rockies. Now days, the griz population is even higher im told. Just something to consider.

Tick, Tick, Tick the clock is a ticking. The study of Geology is more a study of erosion and time, all this is mind blowing. And the time of man, the erosion continues, and time seem to stand still, but Tick, Tick, Tick. Thank you ALL stay safe

So much beauty and so much information! Im going to have to watch this a bunch of times to take it all in. Thinking of deep time and space...feeling "insignificant" is a rather strange choice of words. I feel pretty good about being among the first (in a history of the universe and earth perspective) to take this all in, just to think about this stuff. That so much has happened, from stars dying to create the materials to all the life thats struggled and died that led to us, to us standing here contemplating it all - for it all to now (kind of) fit in and live in our heads instead of just being an unappreciated process. I feel pretty significant to be the product of all that.

I know, right? It makes me so grateful to be alive in this time.

Since subscribing to your channel, I now marvel at the display of historical time when driving through any deep highway cut in a hillside or mountain. We have several spectacular examples here in BC, Canada. Stay well, and thanks for another lesson.
