Mt Rainier’s Osceola MudFlow | Nick on the Rocks

[@marianrooth9514]

I watched some of the videos that others have put on KZbin but they don't have your passion for your subject. You got this old gal interested in geology. Wow I never had earth sciences when I was in school.

[@woodzy575]

Thanks for not killing us with ads. I appreciate it

[@ericb8304]

Facts, also here a fun fact, I used to watch KZbin on the internet browser on my Wii U, but when an ad appeared the console would freeze and I would have to restart it and it was very annoying.

[@lynnmitzy1643]

I just don't get tired of learning 📚ya make it easy , professor 😎thank you

[@davidgrech4574]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and hope you know that I appreciate your channel considerably 🙏🌎

[@garycampbell9986]

Love your concise videos! Your excellent lectures are wonderful service for learners! I live in Tijuana and I know Baha is an area of intrest to you and i marval every time I ride through the cuts in the freeways. The beautiful layering of millions of years of deposits! i point them out to my friends! love your work! thank you!

Had Professor Pringle 10+ years ago for a geology class based on possible natural catastrophic events in the western Washington area. Awesome professor and great guy to talk to about volcanoes and earthquakes.

It's the Osceola... Of ROCK and ROLLA!!

[@stevecockerham4088]

Really enjoy your work.

[@croakingfrog3173]

Thanks for the video! But one minor correction- Mt Rainier was not necessarily ever any taller than it is today. In the 1890s Geologist I.C. Russell proposed that the sloping sides of Mt Rainier once projected up to a point higher than the current summit, and in the 1960s other geologists refined Russell's idea and concluded that the summit was once about 15,300 feet high. However, to quote the work of a local geologist "There are significant problems with these contentions of a higher summit, as they do not take into account a more modern understanding of how stratovolcanos are built... there is no reason to assume [that the lava flows which form the side of the mountain] ever would have joined at a common summit. This volcano has not had a simple history of 'grow big, fall apart, grow a little more.' " From "Geology Underfoot in Western Washington" by Dave Tucker, p. 144.

Construction of the new SR 167 freeway in Tacoma and Fife led to discovery of more fir trees covered by the Osceola mudflow. By the time the pile of mud and debris reached Commencement Bay it had slowed considerably and many of the trees were left upright as they were killed by the covering mud.

So brilliant. Very much miss the full lecture though. I wonder why it was removed from KZbin

[@robertfritz9916]

Your work is exemplary and I enjoy every video. But you must admit being a geologist in an area with young, dynamic, and in the case of the Ice Age Flood, unprecedentedly dramatic, provides you with a lot of great story lines. I can''t imagine Iowa, Ohio, or West Virginia (where I grew up) would be nearly as dramatic. Keep up the good work.

[@Ellensburg44]

Thanks Robert! I was raised in Wisconsin...and quickly learned that I needed to be our here.

[@SCW1060]

I loved your full lecture on Mt Stewart. Im still a tilt in place kinda guy

[@Ellensburg44]

Thanks Scott. Am putting a new terranes lecture together for Winter 2018.

[@darlenericotta7550]

awesome! thank you.

I couldn't help but notice the price of gasoline. $2.65 a gallon. :O

[@francisdeocares2407]

What is the positive and negative effects of mud flow

[@ThomasSmith-os4zc]

How did a mudflow in Mt. RAINIER get the name of a Seminole Indian from Florida?

[@warrenhunt2970]

I notice alot of earthquakes this month Mt Rainier, is that a sign that the mountain is starting to wake up

[@Ellensburg44]

Nothing dramatically different in the past. No signs of impending eruptions. Thanks.

[@MikMoen]

3:09 Literally has my apartment on camera. That's actually weird to think about.

[@melofran5842]

Don't want to be anywhere near Rainier when it next blows ...

[@Ellensburg44]

Same here.

[@SpeedNoodles]

Yeah.....but I'm still going to retire on the Olympic Peninsula in a few years and spend time visiting lots of time visiting places that I've learned about from Nick!

[@SCW1060]

An eruption or a Lahar will cut us off from our kids in Tacoma we live in Burien. I also work in Tacoma so we are buying a couple ham radios just in case of either Rainier or Cascadia events

[@Ellensburg44]

Smart.

[@galactictravels224]

Hey Nick off topic but can you explain the deep sea canyons cut off of the continental shelf right down to the bottom of the pacific ?

[@amacuro]

Not sure i know exactly what you mean, but deep sea canyons are mostly incised valleys within the continental shelf that formed during severe sea level drops, like the one we had 20,000 years ago. Sea level goes down, continental shelves get exposed to the air and undergo fluvial erosion towards the new sea level.

2:10 you have to be a top flight socialite to live 10 feet from your neighbor.

[@dgafbrapman688]

Me:*sneezes* Neighbor: Bless you

[@motionsick]

I'm just glad I live in Buckley.

[@Ellensburg44]

Maybe not out of the woods...

[@spenceisthebest1]

Hopefully Mud mountain dam can protect us. Idk if it could from an Osceola size event though.

[@genevieveyork7275]

You lost me when you said "Warshington"

[@standunitedorfall1863]

So regional accents keep you from learning? You must be easily influenced.

[@genevieveyork7275]

@@standunitedorfall1863 lol, nerve struck or something? 🤣
