The Geologic Oddity in Australia; The Bungle Bungles

[@Iamthelolrus]

I love all your episodes but the "oddities" are my favorites.

[@GeologyHub]

They are quite fun to make. :) the geologic oddities series videos that is

[@aaronfranklin324]

@@GeologyHub So these are formed, as is still occuring in the Neocene, in areas prone to Continental ice sheet formation by alternations of Stadial Ice Dome building, and Geothermally driven ice dome rupture and collapse. Causing saline deep aquifers to blowout, deposit loess and chemically weather it to clay. The Iron side of this is interesting. Iron 2+ ferrous in the sandstone rather than Iron 3+ ferric. Suggests reducing conditions in the porefluids that passed through the sandstone layers as the central Australian Ice dome ruptures proceeded. H2S, HF, HCl, methane, ammonia... Probably hypersaline ionic molten salts or supercritical geofluid flow as we observe occuring in Greenland and Antarctica today. As they undergo their periodic icedome blowouts. And responsible for native metallic copper in the Central Great lakes Blowout zone. And Native Metallic Iron In Greenlands. Anaerobic extremophiles may also have been involved. Probably still are. In symbiosis with the cyanobacteria providing oxygen with their bundled protein nanowires trading electrons for protons.

They are also mean. Lol cuter than they are in all aspects 😂

Thanks again, Geology Hub. Erosion can produce a myriad of wonders!

[@tthappyrock368]

I'd never heard of the bungle bungles! What a cool geologic feature!

[@theharper1]

FYI. There's no sockeye salmon in Australia. 😅 Interesting video! I didn't know that cyanobacteria were involved in the Bungles.

"The Bungle Bungles" With a name like that, you didn't need to say these were in Oz

[@relwalretep]

Very high in my bucket list to see in person. Pencilled in next year🤞

[@dougfairbanks8055]

As a resident of West Australia I thank you for this episode. I admire your attempt also at pronouncing 'Bungle Bungles' which is actually pronounced, 'Bungle Bungles'....hard to tell the difference I know! Sorry, only joking Mate!! I am an avid fan of your site & hope you continue to give your no-hype explanations of many interesting areas of geology.....Thank You Sir!

[@argonaught5666]

I laughed. Is Australia still vaccine crazy? Do you have to be vaxed to visit?

[@torydavis10]

Awesome! I'm always super fascinated by the stories of sediments, keep the oddities coming!

I have always been enamoured of the Bungle Bungles and would love to visit them.

[@heywaitaminute1984]

Thank you once more for the education and you are correct when you said Koala's are quite cute, they are aren't they?😄

[@kwgm8578]

I'm enjoying your geologic oddity series, also. I've learned so much about our amazing planet, which I thought I knew! Thank you, friend.

[@trailblazer.3167]

Could you maybe do an episode on how Colorado's Garden of the Gods formed? Curious to see how they did form. Thanks!

[@stormcrowemissaryofsophia2366]

great content mate.. want to have a stab at what caused the formation of the great artesian basin?

[@dickarmstrong4092]

This is cool. I also like Port Wrangel on the Alaska Peninsula North of King Cove. A hidden deep bay shaped like a bowl with 1000 foot cliffs

Nice touch reminding people of extreme fragility. Now my thoughts are torn between the recent no climbing Uluru policy, and people that just have to touch artworks made for the eyes.

[@ScottRae]

Ahhh now I know where Helen Daniels disappeared off to all the time! Always wondered - thanks!

[@theothermrsaturn]

I wonder why it’s just there

[@paulw3182]

Really Cool, an interesting history of the region especially the presence of an active cyanobacterial crust. I wonder if there is an evolutionary relationship between Australian species of cyanobacteria and Microclimate Biocrusts of the Sahara Desert?

[@jcim6438]

Thanks.

I remember once reading a dark fantasy novel with some chapters set in the Bungle Bungles. Can't remember the title now.

[@AstonMartin427]

@GeologyHub can you do a video about Stone Mountain in Georgia? Thanks!

[@ThomasWLalor]

When I was young, I was hoping for space travel to another planet. Not anymore; there's too much to see here on Earth.

[@irwinisidro]

Definitely something you would see in a Star Trek show or film.

[@sa6r3]

the pinnacles are a strange site ,does anyone know why they formed yet? this would make a good video

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

The Kata Tjuta near Ularu ahve the same shape, different strata, of course.

[@ronaldbaker789]

I live in Phoenix Arizona. Several volcanic peaks are within the metro area. Any possibility of an eruption in Phoenix.

[@tonysherwood9619]

After the termite mounds last time now "beehives" - but I'll let you off this episode!

[@archangel_one]

Those were BIG BEES!

[@williamrbuchanan4153]

Earth rocking in the distant past, slowly, just enough for a steady lay down of soil from differing areas . Magnetic readings maybe could give some credence to this. Just like undercoating paint, layer on layer over the years centuries or more. Nothing stays the same on Earth , probably, not outside Earth either.

[@Yezpahr]

This video definitely has a dark undertone. We get to learn about this beautiful landscape, but there are going to be sheeple that don't care how brittle and easily damaged it is, they just gotta climb it, defacing it with their rope anchors and speeding up erosion while wasting beauty that could have lasted for millions of years. Something like this better have all the incentives in place to not climb these things. Electric fences are too costly, maybe a small section should be assigned to specifically be climbed while the rest is protected, against climbing by law, having some watch towers next to it peeking out over them.

[@mopspear]

Don't say "sheeple". It makes you look bad and people won't listen to the rest of your point.

[@bearcatracing007]

And who are you going to get to do all this and work in these watch towers? This place is out in the middle of no where...

[@Yezpahr]

@@bearcatracing007 Nobody needs to work there lol... we have thousands of unmanned watch towers in my country... Or is that just naive of me to think that could work anywhere in the world?

[@BradGryphonn]

Yes, Koalas are cute (see, I watched til the end).

[@corrinflakes9659]

So the “hive” part of beehive isn’t entirely wrong.

[@therealjoshuacaleb4873]

And here I thought the song lyrics bungle in the jungle were put together because they rhymed. I'm pretty sure the song is about Africa and not Australia though. Neat coincidence imo.

[@augustolobo2280]

[@crackthefoundation_]

Is this related to why the Badlands in America exist? They look similar? Or no?

When the Earth is properly displayed with the South Pole at the top, Australia is the Land Up Over. It's a topsy-turvy world when maps always have the North Pole at the top. It's way past time for things to stop always being upside down. Regarding the solar system from the southern ecliptic is the correct view.
