@@myroncook Myron ! What a great journey you took us on ! It's truly amazing that so many clues are still visible to anyone, in plain sight ! Now, there is just one tiny issue, and I hope that you take this as a form of well-mannered constructive criticism, sir. The title is just every so slightly misleading. To me, in my mind, "How Geologists Discovered [the Seaway]" would lead me to think that the video would be about those specific geologists and the actual specific discoveries made by them over time, in a historical context. This was especially true for me since you mentioned the 1869 expedition by John Wesley Powell. I expected more specific historical details to follow in his footsteps. Alas, we did not get that. Now, I know that this is not a true historical channel, in the normal sense. Instead this is a great, shall I say spectacular, channel about geology over a much vaster historical timeline. Keep up the amazing work, and I speak for everyone when I say, NEVER STOP !!

Right on. So if the fossils/remains are that close to the surface soil then it's clear that they are a relatively new feature on the landscape. So the question becomes - what process drove all of that water so far inland and how often does this happen on Earth? The evidence of sudden global flooding is overwhelming and it's urgent that we understand the processes that create that condition
@jackshaftoe1715
@jackshaftoe1715 28 күн бұрын
@@dilldowschwagginz2674 People who go to a place known as "college" unanimously disagree with flooding. The crust is lifted up by magma/tectonic plate movement. The sea floor is lifted along with that. Deep water life forms were not carried to dry land in a flood as you posit, as there would only be one layer. We see many layers all over the world.

I get so excited riding along these beautiful features every day and wondering about the ancient landscapes that made these mountains into what they are today. So glad to see you made a video about them. I just bought a book about this very thing by Ron Blakey!

​@@myroncooki eatvhed your video about the fans coming from river deltas and how far they go out to see, as well as the channels you noted running across the bottom of the ocean. I believe you said they were caused by the rivers and underwater currents, but it wasnt fully understood. I disagreed, its my understanding that the paths the major rivers follow were not originally carved by the rivers themselves, the eater just took the path of least resistance. I adhere to the electrical model of the universe, in said model its understood from accounts of the ancients that great cataclysms of an electrical nature happened. These events occured before life even existed here. These planetary scale electrical storms literally carved out huge swaths of land and killed untold numbers of species in the known catacylsms (it wasnt a meteor it was a global electical storm and a scale we can hardly imagine). Look at electrical excavation experiments done by many experimentalists. It shows the exact same fratures we see on he surfaces of every celestial body we observe.

We actually use the metric system frequently in the fields of medicine. Remember 1 in = 2.54 cm exactly. 1 foot is 12 inches or approximately 30.48cm. For example 1foot which is actually 12in* 2.54 cm/1in = 30.48 cm I mile = 5,280 feet 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers. Definition: A mile (symbol: mi or m) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is currently defined as 5,280 feet, 1,760 yards, or exactly 1,609.344 meters. By using stoichiometry, u just cancel matching units until you can’t cancels any other units. Now multiply across and divide. You get the answer with the correct dimensions. 3 teaspoons tsps = 1 tablespoon = 14.787 ml.

Recently recommended this channel and can’t say enough nice things. From the lovely visuals, informative content and most of all the inviting, soothing and, I cannot help but make the connection, Mr Rogers evoking cadence and intonation, I’ve been loving to listen to these presentations. Thank you for sharing!

I love how the drone flights put the details into perspective, showing it all in its real, large scale. You visualize everything so well that i can feel the joy of discovery too, as we really have a look into the memories of this planet and imagine it "growing up".

The deep time scales... of the shale fields depth.The time it spans to take to accumulate the sea mud, cover it up, and erode it back down to present day is freaking me out. Makes one wonder what world was like so far back. If there was intelligent mammals that came and went.

I'm surprised you didn't include images of Virgin River Gorge, AZ as an example of sedimentary layers and shale formations. There are sections lifted out of the ground that are as tall as small skyscrapers. The tectonic energy needed to lift these sections are mind numbing. Great video, thanks.

Dr. Cook, I find the flow of your presentations very welcoming. I have had a lifelong but pedestrian interest in all things related to Earth science - - mainly focused on botany and biology. Having visited places like Capitol Reef in younger days, I found that I was easily overwhelmed by the various landscape formations, not able to understand the subtle clues of structure - so I simply remained in awe of the aesthetic beauty of such places... And now, many decades further, I am able to virtually revisit these in a new light even though I may not be able physically to do so. A subscriber thanks you!

Quality content, Myron. Thank you for putting out such wonderful videos on the beautiful subject of geology.

Keep up the great work!

This reminds me of the inland Sea that Australia once had. One thing I love most about this ultimate favourite geology & palaeontology channel of my is it encourages me to ask questions that I both would not have thought of, or have been reminded of that I already thought of.
