'Nick From Home' Livestream #19 - Washington is Disneyland

[@beverlyweber4122]

I fell down the Nick Zentner Rabbit Hole about two weeks ago (spring 2023) by accident. I had watched Simon Whistler Geographics and the next KZbin video that came up was a lecture. It's been years since I've watched a university lecture...and I was intrigued. I was born in Moses Lake. My Dad was born in Bothel, and the last time I was in Washington state was back in 1981, visiting my grandparents. Everything was Mt. St Helens back then, and the DB Cooper anniversary, and the Cascadian Earthquake wasn't even thought about, hadn't been invented yet, apparently. Now I am catching up...and it's FUN!

Watching the presentations of different years that interact with previous conversations has been a powerful learning tool.

[@ArmChairgeology]

Nick thank you for making geology of Washington State fun and interesting!😊😷

[@amywright2243]

You took an unorthodox path to becoming a rockstar, but we're very grateful you did! Watching from just north of the Muldraugh Hill in Louisville KY. Subscribed!

[@marynelson3634]

Ok, glad you got this on you tube for us regulars.

[@nunyubiznezz]

Professor Zentner, you Sir are never backwards !!!

[@TaylorSmith-fz7qn]

NICK!!! Thank you so much for doing these! We all need to keep our sanity, and you're helping me, and so many others with that I'm sure. Keep it up sir, it is very much appreciated! Will be present for church, that is, a Nick From Home livestream on supervolcanoes!

[@tni1116]

Thank you so much for your videos we love it and watching them every day

[@buzzsmith8146]

Very enjoyable. Appreciate your knowledge and your kindness.

[@warhawkme6344]

Was fun finding you this morning but managed most of the live. You only told us 20 times it would be on Learning Geology but was still waiting on Nick Z. watching the test run. It was the wifes Facebook so when I became frustrated she read the instructions and I joined you. TYVM, you are turning me back into a Geo-junkie.

[@naoakiooishi6823]

A nice rounding up of the Washington state`s geological features accumulating for a billion of years. Great!

[@sdcrilly]

Thank you so much Nick. I look forward everyday to your geology videos. When I was young I wanted to be a geologist (I live in California) and didn't become one, and so these videos are tons of fun. (:

[@mccunicano]

I'm in Japan and I've heard of Baja/BC. Happy Easter from Tohoku! Another great place to learn about geology!

[@spddiesel]

Happy Easter (in 4 hours) from California! Stay safe, Holmes :-)

[@mccunicano]

I never claimed to be Japanese, on my channel description I even clearly state I'm an American. You don't know my life. I'll never understand why some people feel the need to be so negative towards people they know nothing about.

[@RICDirector]

5 days a week...I'm having a heck of a time catching up, sir! And enjoying every moment of it! Stay safe, stay well, and keep rocking it! :)

[@dreh1h1]

From ZILLAH/Toppenish. Love your form. I watch it all. I’ll be at work at 9am Easter morning it will catch it later in the day on KZbin. Thank you NICK

[@ExoticTerrain]

Thank you for these videos! You rock!

[@vanessaengelbrecht4212]

Hiii There, watching from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@edwinreece438]

Great stuff. You would never get that kind of excitement in Kansas geology.

[@don5164]

35 millimeters per year, the Farollon plate moves north along California coast. I presume you were saying centimeter when you were thinking millimeter. I do the same, and have to ask other people what came out of my mouth. What happens when we know the material too well. I enjoy your talks so much. Your friend here where the San Andreas dives into the Pacific at Point Reyes California. .

[@lynnmitzy1643]

Well, crumbs. I will watch now. Hoppy Easter 📚professor

[@StereoSpace]

One possible answer to the 2 million years lifespan of a volcano might be the magma chamber cools and hardens to a hot batholith. As a result, the volcano goes extinct, erodes away, and new plutons of magma from the ongoing plate subduction find a different path to the surface, giving birth to a new volcano. BTW, very cool of you to continue giving geology lectures from your home. Very much appreciated.

[@wildedibles819]

My kind of Disney land lol Ontario is like that to me but i didn't realize how special Ontario was untill i seen the west lol We went by car the northern Saskatchewan through Alberta into Northern British Columbia But we also traveled the southern rout too where we could see the mountains in Montana they were cool Northern manatoba and northern Ontario near lake Superior is very cool too North America rocks ;) much love xoxox

[@wildedibles819]

Can you do the dance again? Lol great video

[@janerussell3472]

Marvelous, Nick. You didn't talk down to us. Mentioning Barry Atwood, and James Bond, reminded me of Chris Goldfinger. Another researcher who deserves immense praise. I'm not sure they always see eye to eye, research-wise. That's not my concern. I just note the quality of the work.

[@nobody8328]

Lecture starts at 7:50.

[@elizabethmkurtz4956]

Off topic, but I'd like to know if you have or will have a lecture on the Spokane Aquifer. Thx

[@Wreckbeach400]

Vancouver Canada. Great text looks good

[@brandonholt6717]

I wonder what was going on the last time the movement of the continents changed direction. For hundreds of millions of years convection currents, or whatever it is, push plates in a consistent direction until their continents have collided, and in a few hundred million more they change direction and do the whole dance over again. Why such long lived motion in one direction and what causes it to stop? What are things like in that moment between pushing continents together and then reversing direction? How long does it take for that process to take place? Are there fewer volcanoes and earthquakes?

[@KathyWilliamsDevries]

The Cache Creek islands question is interesting as there is a KZbin video showing the Cache Creek Ocean when North America was breaking away from South America I think. But maybe older geological story?

[@TaylorSmith-fz7qn]

Does the rotation completely stop in BC, or is it jacking up the crust there? In other words, where the GPS receivers appear to stop moving, are we seeing subduction/obduction? Or is it just a collision with a solid wall from hell, so to speak?

[@jamesdriscoll9405]

Nice Lidar map of the scablands!

[@bonblue4993]

Have you ever heard of Austin Post? He lived in Sequim and worked with glaciers.

[@wildedibles819]

Our kids had an imaginary friend named Patrick lol he did everything lol

[@Eric_Hutton.1980]

Missed it this morning. I missed it because I can't count today.

[@ExoticTerrain]

So Idaho just had a 6. something earthquake, do you happen to know at what point in the 13 month cycle this earthquake happened? Or how likely do you think they were related?

[@biffnarzilla4649]

Could the slow clockwise rotation pattern be seen as a boundary layer-type mass, oriented northwest-to-southeast, grinding up against a Canadian mass and forming a kind of subduction zone against the Canadian mass? Are the geodetic reference points where the GPS receivers are located returning upward or downward movement as well as lateral movement? Could this be a kind of Pacific coast-type of subduction zone where the hypothetical impinging edges kind of "bind up" every 14 months and then release?

[@jamesdriscoll9405]

Hexagonal columnar basalt is like a carpet of vertical pencils packed horizontally

[@ExoticTerrain]

Hi, so did exotic terrains get deposited in Oregon also or did it slide on by me?

[@kczcb4697]

Must be a delayed KZbin feed since he was a guest on the Facebook channel

You mentioned Brunton's carried by geologists - Would you be kind enough to present some of the equipment carried by a field geologist?

[@mkilptrick]

Could you shed some light on the recent earthquakes in Idaho. Is this similar to what you said about Utah? Thanks. I really enjoy your videos from Washington. I live in Oregon and you talked about the ghost forests along the coast. Are their uplifts being measured today?

[@dargordtq5882]

Nick, could centrifugal force (from the earth's rotation) play a role in plate tectonics somehow? Maybe a dumb thought, I dunno. It just popped up. Could it contribute? The more I think of it, the less strange it feels. I have to see on Google if there's info on this matter.

[@ExoticTerrain]

What does the plate look like from above the Arctic? Is there a separate plate up there?

[@mccunicano]

The Eurasian and North American plates meet in the Arctic in a line (the Mid Atlantic RIdge/Gakkel Ridge) running north from Iceland to roughly around the geographic north pole, then south to far eastern Siberia. There's no separate plate.

[@gferguson5633]

How do you do that? Forwards

[@TaylorSmith-fz7qn]

...with the exception of Hawaii, being in the middle of the Pacific plate. It has its own story, and only exists in the first place because it is volcanic. Okay, tangent complete/resolved, go ahead Prof. Zentner.

[@strikerjackson380]

Im not a professor or even a geologist. My best guess is with the north American plate moving westward, and the majority "to my kjowladge" of the Eurasian plate china sits on is moving eastward, there is bound to be points of relief ie Hawaii etc..

[@larrygrimaldi1400]

Good thing I saw it earlier, I'll go get a mirror

Oh, thank god! I thought that was just me.... 😐

I dunno how you managed to make it backwards but that was freaky. Only thing better would've been you starting from the end of your lecture and teaching toward the beginning.

everything backwards???

It’s backwards but I’m dyslexic so im good
