I really like the way you talk about geology! It is enthusiastic and clear information. I myself live in Finland, where the entire landscape is shaped by ice ages, everything is so different from Wyoming. Here we can see only very old and very young processes, you also have a lot to look at in between!

I just realized something as you explained Mesa formation. Whether they are topped with former river rock deposits or lava, they were once the lowest steepest parts since they followed the gradient of the topography around them. Then erosion takes place, and it sort of inverts, now they impose gradients of descent around them and are the highest parts locally. They're almost like fossils of previous gradients.

I was a jug hustler for 2 years. I worked for Western Geophysical out of Rocksprings Wyoming. We performEd seismograph surveys on White mountain above Rocksprings and all over the Red Dessert. Try breaking a front axle coming off of White Mountain in the dark. We spun around and around and damn near went over a rock ledge.I remember going to the overthrust formations in Utah for a month long survey that covered just over 50 miles of pure hell for a survey team, we had to coil and carry the sensor cable up and down hills instead of laying out from the back of the truck. Our trucks were so heavy that we had to unload most of the equipment to get past the scales at the border. We would unload part of the equipment, cross the scales and unload the remaining equipment in Utah. Then we would go back for the rest of the cables and jugs. I was in better shape working seismograph than I was after military basic training. It was damn hard work, but it was done with a terrific crew.

I have worked in the McCollough Peaks for four summer campaigns during my PhD (2016-2021, TU Delft) and we have high-resolution drone models that can be navigated in the software. my last visit was just last summer (not sure whether you know there is a big gathering every year on July 4th in Powell, where lots of geologists and paleontologists participate). I really enjoy watching your videos, which are well filmed and illustrated. Everybody, including geologists and laymen, should watch this, in my mind. Highly recommended! Hope to see you one day in the basin!

I love learning how things work and what made them look the way they do. Geology is like a very long term history of nature. I also love rockhounding so learning about the conditions that creat certain rocks is very helpful. You have a great way of teaching to us lay people without dumbing it down too much.

The composition in your videos and the use of lighting and other technical things are just as good as your knowledge of the geology.

Also, I was climbing in Kentucky recently, and the rock in the Red River Gorge area is all (at least the climbing areas) sandstone. Much like you describe in your sandstone section, there are areas with harder and softer sandstone. From what some of the people I was climbing with explained, there's iron rich sandstones that resist erosion more than the other sandstone around it, creating these plate features. The plate on the surface of the cliff doesn’t erode as fast as the less resistant sandstone behind so it creates climbing holds that you can just put your entire hand on. There's also random pockets in the rock and lots of roofs because the sandstone that's less resistant washes away and leaves a big roof that you can climb under. one thing that surprised me was how strong the rock was, i could literally yank as hard as I could on a little quarter inch thick plate to jug up and it was just fine. the products of erosion there are fasinating.

Dear Mr Cook, my first real encounter with a geologist was about 20 years ago. I spent the better part of my work career in excavations. My father was a quarryman in our local limestone industry and I'm a retired construction superintendent. This young geologist was performing soil testing for a large resort foundations. As we walked through the glacial till he would pick up small stones and explain to me where they came from. I've always been aware of the Wisconsin glacial period, in fact where my home is was once under a mile thick glacier. The more I learn the more my curiosity increases. We live on the Niagara Escarpment. To imagine the type of erosion that occurred almost yesterday, in geologic time. Thanks for the wonderful videos.

You are a superb educator and your video editing is very professional. I am going to watch all of your videos! As a forester I need to think of a small time period for forests- maybe a generation or two. I'd prefer to be thinking of millions of years. I've traveled several times to the western US and loved every second of it. Here in damp, cold Massachusetts I've had sinus problems all my life. When out west- that problem goes away!

As a lifelong rock-hound, I've been enjoying these videos immensely for a couple months now(recently found and subscribed) and have often wondered the time scale of erosion? Dr. Cook generously provided the answer (for the Bighorn Basin) in this video: ".7 inches per 100 yrs". Wow! I don't know what I expected, but that blows my mind. This guy is such a gift! I'm glad he had the inspiration to start this channel and makes the effort to create so much excellent content. Thank you Dr. Cook.

What a wonderful world! I love volcanoes, they're pretty beautiful. But erosion also creates awesome landscapes.

Winds, also freeze thaw cause erosion. Nice representation for all the worlds rivers and trickles and falls.

Nice videos Myron, keep it up. One question I had from this one is when you were talking about Sheep Mountain and the strata sticking up in the air at a 45 degree angle, you tell why it looks like it does, with the eroding between the strata. But what I would like to know is why are the strata at 45 degree angles. I have seen this a lot in the landscapes of the West. I am guessing it is water erosion happening more on one side of the strata that the other, but I am not sure. Or tectonic uplifting? Or both, or neither. Thanks, Myron.

First the rocks were tilted/uplifted and then erosion occurred. The ridges are layers of rock that are not as easily eroded so they remain higher than the surrounding land.

Top notch! I’m a software developer who’s done backend and front end work over my career and I can’t help but want to make an erosion game with layers you can select as well as some well known geological columns. It would obviously be difficult to simulate in order to produce the great visuals you’ve been sharing but I’m half tempted to try.

I really enjoy flying over the west ang looking at thd geology in that macro view. Videos like this let me see the details of places i hope to see more of. Geology, evolution, and astronomy are all about time, unfathomable amounts and evolving conditions. Thanks for the vid

Geology is fascinating and you did a superb job explaining how it works to create these mind-blowing and artistic examples of erosion.

One of the biggest problems with geology is the passage of time, it's hard to get your head around it. But, when you slow it down a bit, i get it. Thank you. 👍

Very informative, Myron. Cathy (wife) and I just returned from a Saudi Aramco Retiree Golf outing in Phoenix, Arizona. We visited the Grand Canyon; the views and erosion is simple amazing. Keep up with the excellent narratives.
