Very well done! Excellent and clear explanations and graphics. I love visiting and hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains, so I especially enjoyed the conclusion.

Want to take a moment and write how much I appreciate the videos on this channel. I live on the Colorado Plateau which has some accessible and amazing geology and am wanting to learn more on the subject. Thank you for taking the time to post these as I am using them quite frequently and find it very informative.
