[@KnucklebarkRanch]

Good question

[@Animalmanager]

See Brian Nickel’s summary videos of Walter Brown’s hydroplate theory. Although he does not ascribe to catastrophic plate tectonics, there is a video on the formation of the Grand Canyon that goes into great detail as to how Haupi Lake and grand Lake came to form the Grand Canyon (and much of the surrounding geological formations in that region) in much clearer detail and time scales. According to Walter Brown, he suspects it was within 100 years of the flood.

[@nateloper]

We place the carving of the Grand Canyon by this lake spillover hundreds of years after the Flood. Time enough for the lake basin to fill, time for the 480 feet of sediment in the lake basin called the Bidahochi Formation to accumulate, and time for the lithification of the Grand Canyon sedimentary layers. Additionally, paleoecology and fossil data shows us the event took place most likely during or near the end of the Ice Age.

[@SuperPhester]

Really enjoyed it Dr. Austin. Sure is a lot MORE reasonable than MILLIONS AND BILLIONS of years of a trickle of water draining!!!

[@jmbreece]

Super! Happy to finally see the whole process animated as well. The question that i have been asking myself for a while now is: where is all the sediment that washed out when the canyon formed? Its obviously laying downstream of the end of the canyon, but what was covered up and how thick is it and how far does it extend? There are several gorges along the river as it flows toward the ocean in baja California. That is a study i would like to do if i were young enough to do it. Maybe some youngsters are already doing it. 😊

[@jerryharder1381]

[@nateloper]

Great question. We find the mixed sedimentary deposits from the catastrophic carving of the Grand Canyon spread out across parts of the Mojave Desert and Anza-Borrego Desert. Geologists have also published on the identification of the Grand Canyon sediment filling the LA basin. In reality, much of the sediment likely ended up rushing off the continent to the west, perhaps carving the massive marine canyons off the west coast.

Maybe even larger than this lake tore through when the flood drainage was earlier and higher still. This tore through the wider region creating the much more widely eroded landscape of Monument Valley and all the flood remnant buttes and mesas in the region. Then the very last of that drainage- the mere final trickle drainage of the Flood, cut the Grand Canyon.

[@statutesofthelord]

That appears what the evidence seems to show.

[@joanmavima5423]

Scablands of Arizona !

[@nateloper]

The physical evidence we find shows us this lake system existed into the Ice Age, hundreds of years after the Flood. The Grand Canyon could not have existed while the lakes were in place, since you can't fill a lake basin 2,000 feet deep if you already have a crack in the side of the bowl. There is an abundance of evidence showing the Grand Canyon was not carved by Flood recession, which is why nearly all leading creation geologists hold to a post-Flood carved Grand Canyon by large lake spillover.

And there might be some pre flood relics.

[@Bearthalamass]

My favorite theory is all the way from the continental shelves to the deep sea trenches used to be land, and most of the ocean water you see today use to be underground. The deep sea trench system is the river system that fed the garden of Eden, and split into 4 rivers that watered the whole earth. The trench system surrounds every continent. The ridges and underwater mountain ranges all along the trench system should be the oldest shorelines in the world. But their under water now. ????

Check out how the whole deep ocean trench system splits and surrounds all the continents. Could be the river that Genesis talks about that watered the garden of Eden and split up and watered the whole earth. There's no way the euphrates river we know of today watered a significant part of the earth. But a giant river, that pretty much surrounds the whole continent? Like the deep sea trenches surrounds the continents??

There is a small meandering rived at the bottom of it. Ther is not a single geologist around who says that the river carved it over millions of years. The canyon is about 130m deep, 0,5 km wide and 40km long. And the river is about 5m wide and 1,5m deep. The canyon sides are straight vertical granite cliffs up to 50m tall. The geologists all say its formed by a breaking of dammed lake around 80km long / 400 sq km area. The lake is still here, but 100km sq less of area, and about 10...13m less depth.

[@Dusto5]

Was there any spill off from Hopi Lake that contributed to the formation of Sycamore Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Beaver Creek Canyon, Clear Creek Canyon, and Fossil Creek Canyon, that all feed into the Verde River watershed? All of these close proximity canyons exhibit features of a massive amount of water moving through these areas in a short amount of time and depositing their sediment in the Verde Valley area. This is especially obvious with Clear Creek Canyon and its downstream deposit known as Wingfield Mesa on the south side of Camp Verde.

[@nateloper]

Excellet question! I take it you're in Northern Arizona too? It doesn't seem any of those were affected by this lake drainage that went to the north and west primarily. We also find the lake shoreline containment to be too far from these canyon areas to create them by breach. However, it does seem the Mogollon rim uplift was already a scarp at that point, so perhaps the lake waters ponded on the Colorado Plateau saturated the underling sediments and discharged through the Coconino (C) Aquifer via the scarp face and into the Verde Valley, casing drainage sapping and mass wasting that cut some of these canyons rather hastily.

I wonder how much fresh water is hiding underground

[@charlesokeefe8788]

Your observation is compelling and aligns with significant debates in geology. Researchers have indeed explored similar hypotheses for the formation of the Grand Canyon and its connections to massive water outflows, though there’s still much ongoing study and debate. Here's an overview: Hopi Lake and the Grand Canyon Hopi Lake, a vast prehistoric lake, is believed to have existed in the region. Some geologists propose that its catastrophic drainage, possibly through dam breaches, contributed to the rapid carving of parts of the Grand Canyon. The timing of these events, however, is not firmly established. Columbia Gorge and Willamette Valley The formation of the Columbia River Gorge and Willamette Valley floodplains is well-documented, primarily linked to the Missoula Floods. These floods occurred at the end of the last Ice Age (~15,000-13,000 years ago) when glacial ice dams repeatedly collapsed, releasing vast amounts of water. Comparisons and Hypotheses Some researchers have considered whether similar processes could explain the Grand Canyon’s features. Key questions include: Could melting ice and glacial activity have played a role in forming temporary lakes in the Southwest? Are there erosion patterns in the Grand Canyon consistent with massive flood events, like those seen in the Columbia Gorge? Challenges to Linking Events 1. Timing Differences: The Grand Canyon's formation spans millions of years, while the Missoula Floods are relatively recent (thousands of years). Evidence for glaciation in the Southwest during this period is limited compared to the Pacific Northwest. 2. Scale and Sources of Water: The Southwest lacks clear evidence of glacial ice dams like those in the Northwest. However, rainfall and tectonic activity could have created similar lake systems over millions of years. 3. Evidence of Catastrophic Flooding: Some geologists argue for catastrophic flooding in the Grand Canyon region, but the events appear smaller in scale than the Missoula Floods. Features such as the channeled scablands in the Northwest are not as prominent in the Southwest. Current Research Geologists continue to examine: Ancient lake deposits and potential outflow paths in the Southwest. Erosional features that might indicate catastrophic flooding. Whether these events could be linked to broader climatic or tectonic changes across North America. While there’s no conclusive evidence tying the Grand Canyon’s formation to events like the Missoula Floods, the idea of episodic massive flooding contributing to its erosion remains plausible. Advances in dating techniques and sediment analysis may eventually clarify whether such connections exist.

[@vebnew]

Excellent explanation!

[@clwest3538]

I wonder what, if any, the effect of the weight of the formed lakes might have had on the land.

[@nateloper]

That is a great question and line of thought! We find a number of places both within and especially near the shoreline areas where isostatic rebound has created a flexural response of the landscape, causing rising of the lake basin and tilting of sedimentary layers. Some of this was due to the weight of the water being removed, and other places where the overlying caprock sediment was removed. We find evidence of isostatic rebound and tilting of both the Colorado and Kaibab Plateaus in response to the rapid removal of all the sediment in the Grand Canyon too.

[@joek511]

Meteor Crater, did it hit the lake? . Something to look at. How would it impact the lake, how would the water affect the crater / impact. Are there signs to sugest it? Could it have caused the Lake to drain?

[@VernCrisler]

If I remember correctly Meteor Crater is relatively recent using the conventional geological time scale. The Grand Canyon formation is dated much earlier on the geological time scale. So, using relative dating determinations, these two events would not be related.

[@Skunk106]

@joek511 No, the meteor crater would not have formed the way it is if it struck water. I just visited it a year ago. Pretty impressive! Edit, apparently, the "facts" as we know them may be in question.

[@nateloper]

There is indeed some very interesting evidence to point to that possibility! In fact, I'm in the middle of writing a research paper on it as we speak. Meteor Crater sits within the confines of the lake, and there is good physical evidence that suggests the Canyon Diablo meteorite did impact into the lake while it was present. Message me if you'd like to learn more about it or compare notes.

[@VernCrisler]

​@@nateloper The relative dating seems to place the formation of Meteor Crater AFTER the formation of the Grand Canyon. My understanding is that the meteor did not actually hit the surface but blew up before that, so the name Meteor Crater is technically inaccurate.

[@nateloper]

@@VernCrisler The relative dating is very speculative and assumptive. In regard to both the Grand Canyon and Meteor Crater, we reject the theoretical hypotheses that place them in the many tens of thousands to millions of years range. Whenever you want to place the carving of the canyon and the Canyon Diablo meteor impact, the fact is, there is physical evidence to support the idea it impacted into a lacustrine environment.

[@charlesvickers4804]

Wouldn't the presence of material in the lower Colorado they came from the Hopi aria measured as to how wide and how far south confirm how fast the washout actually happened

[@nateloper]

Unfortunately, much of the material deposited by the lake-called the Bidahochi Formation-was very soft and friable washing away during the lake drainage and blowing away from the strong desert winds we have here over the thousands of years since the lake left. Most of the Bidahochi Formation from Hope lake is presently preserved under protective lava flows and caprock found in the Hopi Buttes area. But, yes, we can find a marked delineation all around the lake basin that shows us how far and wide this lake was :)

[@charlesvickers4804]

@nateloper if that was a series of lakes all the way up to Billings and Butte Mt it would have definitely dwarfed the Great lakes. It's not a wonder it looks like a debris field all the way to Mexico City and the Bay of California.

[@Critter145]

The Hydroplate Series by Bryan Nickel (spelling?) also covers the Grand Canyon in depth. Excellent work.

[@markrademaker5875]

If memory serves me right, that sapping concept (water seeping out from below cliffs causing arch shaped structures) is in Dr. Walt Brown's book, yes? Lastly, will you give me your thoughts on the following...(1) In 2023, i believe it was, a big earthquake hit Turkey. In a matter of minutes a canyon was formed. Could it be that an earthquake(s) formed the foundational shape of the Grand Canyon then the Colorado River flowed into the newly made low area? Also, (2) could shrinkage have played a part in the Grand Canyon's formation? Kinda like when an excessively water-filled batch of concrete is poured, what happens is that the slab shrinks and cracks as the extra water evaporates. Thanks. 1 John 4:10,11

[@nateloper]

Indeed, Walt Brown has borrowed many concepts about the Grand Canyon and spillover from Steve and others in the creation world. While most of us in the creation science community would disagree with much of the Hydroplate Theory model, there are some things he includes in his book that is mutually agreeable.

When I looked over the edge of the canyon I thought it looked like a drainage ditch, but a really big drainage ditch, but what do I know?

[@PopsMdub]

Fascinating explanation of your hypothesis, however, if indeed this is how the Grande Canyon was formed, where did all of the sediment from that process end up? The west end of the Grande Canyon's Colorado River does not lead to a massive sediment basin, as all large current or ancient rivers appear to. As we know, the volume of displaced earth that forms the Grande Canyon is 5.45 trillion cubic yards. Where did that much earth end up?

[@Headscapes]

Is this possibly how Monument Valley was created as well?? Interesting area is Muley Point East, Utah. POV channel found Megalithic blocks saying there may be hundreds, even thousands. Then Google Earth altered the satellite images to blur out the impossible geometry. And the most intriguing is there is a sealant in the straight line cracks that stop water from penetrating. Giant Blocks cover the square plateau near cedar point. Was this done in the far past to prepare for the water event? I'll be presenting videos of the evidence on my channel.

[@nateloper]

Yes, it's possible Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, and other locations within the lake confines were sculpted when the lakes drained. Having been to Muley Point and studying both geology and archaeology, I will say there is nothing special nor "manmade megalithic" about the blocks of stone there or elsewhere. They are simply a natural cleavage of the sandstone there. It's a common feature. You can find the exact same thing all over the Southwest and the world, especially when you have natural joints within the rock. Despite what some may claim, we do in fact find corners, blocks, and straight lines in nature. It's well understood and observed. I've studied hundreds of them myself.

Does this conform with Walter Brown's ideas? Or with Micheal Oard's?

The grand canyon formed in the past 10 million years. I wondered how a river the size of the Colorado could erode such a broad and deep canyon. Current geology is discovering huge lakes that formed , they call hopi lake, and helped form the grand canyon. The geologists didn't indicate the time frame of these lakes forming over and over. Could they connected to the melting of ice and forming lakes that have recently been discovered to form the Columbia gorge and Willamette Oregon basin. Since hearing of the Columbia's formation and seeing images of the great walls of eater surge, I see this same topography in the south west where it appears great volumes of water flooded causing mass erosion. Have geologists considered this hypothesis ot thesis yet of the southwest as they have done for the northwest and timed the two events to coexist?

Then how do you explain the wet social folds seen in the canyon?

[@nateloper]

That's a different topic. We see soft sediment deformation and folding in the Grand Canyon as evidence the layers were deposited rapidly during the year-long Flood of Noah's day, and deformed before they had a chance to firm up and lithify. These folds were created by fault lines throughout the canyon. Much of this work and study you can see with our team in "Is Genesis History? Mountains After the Flood."

[@galenhaugh3158]

Lake Bonneville didn't create a Grand Canyon of the Snake River when it rapidly drained north into Idaho the same reason the Grand Canyon wasn't carved by the rapid drainage of any lake, either. There's simply no scientific or engineering evidence for that because solid rock is very resistant to erosion and that's what the Grand Canyon is made of, folks. It all boils down to rock mechanics.

If you look at the west half of the united states, I feel the tree line at about 5,000 ft was a high water mark, The terrain of north central Nebraska is formed by wave or tidal type water flow. Could it not be uplift rather a scouring from sudden over-topping. Like melting ice over top a series of lakes formed by their tilling? It should be noted that alot the Coal seams are in a berm formed by glacial till or extreme soil erosion deposits seemingly from a single water event. Also could the sudden change of surface pressure from the drain have a something to do with the lava flows in Idaho, central Oregon? They seem to be out of character with normal volcanic mountain building? Abiquiu reservoir also seemed to a similar event as this.

[@ken-in-KY]

Guys like this guy crack me up. It was The Great Flood that God created during the time of Noah that carved The Grand Canyon, and changed the entire landscape of the earth's surface. That flood moved mountains around the earth which explains the different levels of the earth's outer layers , the moving of continents, and finding fossils of creatures where none were thought to be found.

The great flood covered much of the surface of earth with mud. Many places miles deep. The central region of north america was no different.

California used to be seperated from the other states in the not so distant past. Everyone should check out old maps this is history we was never told about for some odd reason!

[@AperyGra]

I like your channel take on the round ocean myth. I think you might onto something there. I wonder if there is a connection to noah's ark.

It’s a good Thing that The Hopi Indian’s Knew How to Swim !!! My Question of This presentation is How Fast Did All These Supposed Water Basins Drained into Each Other , Causing a Massive Flood Throughout The Land as in Other Ideas of the Great Lakes Draining at Some Period in Time Carving out the Grand Canyon ??? Some Say a Slow River Process and others claim a Great Rushing Flood !!??? At One Time in History They Claim All Throughout the Midwest Was a Major Massive Water Mass Such as An Ocean Splitting The Continent ! But Science has Proven That Water Was All over the Earth at One point and The Existence of Jungle Warm Climates Even in The Mountains Of Alaska With Shellfish and Ferns Dinosaurs Bones and Many Fantastic Findings !!! This Planet Has Been Constantly Reformed Time Over and Over Again ! And We Have only Existed for a Few Seconds in This Planet’s History and Probably Will Not Exist Again in The Future !!??

Maps from 1400's and 1500's all show California as an island,(from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico used to be sea,hence the reason it's all desert now,-as the planet gained a new spin axis it cut off the sea path through the north America,and the remaining sea water over the continent turned into large Brine ponds -(Old Ocean path through North America caused the Grand canyon 😎

[@jerryharder1381]

Well here we go again with the Grand Canyon and not a mention of Walter T Brown's research years ago on this very subject! I would have thought you would have the respect to mention him and his work concerning Grand and Hopi lakes and the carving of the Grand Canyon. Must be some jealousy factor or he ticked you off some.

@jerryharder1381 What does Mr. Brown say?

[@nateloper]

Why mention Walt Brown? He didn't invent the concept. The documented reality is Walt Brown borrowed many of his ideas from fellow creationists, including Dr. Steve Austin and others in the 1980s. The reality is the foundations of this model go all the way back to 1858 with John S. Newberry and continuing with things like Hopi Lake named in 1936 by Howell Williams. I don't think there's any jealously there, just no need to mention a guy who's piggybacking on similar ideas of others, while also holding drastically different and wild theories that are not accepted by any leading creation organization or geologist I'm aware of in the creation or secular communities.

Stone Cold has changed quite a bit.

[@Dr_Tripper]

This theory was put out about 20 years ago.

[@nateloper]

Actually, it goes back much further, with its foundations all the way back to 1858 with geologist John S. Newberry!

I don't enjoy being contrary, but the basin is Not 25 square kilometers. You're probably in the United States. You're speaking to many US citizens about a piece of land within the US. The US people Turned Down the metric system. Our land is measured in Miles. Why do you push a system on the American people they have Rejected?

[@marcomclaurin6713]

No sir, thank you

[@NoCantsAllowed]

What do the Hopi Indians say happened?

Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man?

So your friend is partly responsible for chem trails. Great

[@robadams5799]

This lecture is a bit too detailed for me. I lost interest about six minutes in.

Engendering trumps geology, archeology, paleontology.
