Glacial Lake Missoula
Glacial Lake Missoula was the source of much of the water for the famous Ice Age Floods of the Pacific Northwest. Featured field evidence for the lake include strandlines above Missoula, Montana, giant current ripples at Camas Prairie, and striking rhythmites along Interstate 90 at Nine Mile Road near Missoula.
Tom Foster (HUGEfloods.com) and Nick Zentner (Central Washington University) have been hiking together in Washington for years. This ’Glacial Lake Missoula’ episode stands alone, in addition to their popular ‘I-90 Rocks’ and ‘2 Minute Geology’ video series.

Rain Shadow Effect

Rain Shadows - dry areas on downwind sides of mountains - are prominent on the Big Island of Hawaii and east of the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest. Many rain shadows exist around the world - including north of Asia’s Himalayas, west of Austalia's Great Dividing Range, and east of California's Sierra Nevada Range. Three essential items are needed to develop the rain shadow effect - an oc...
Geology of Seattle and the Puget Sound
Переглядів 304 тис.9 років тому
The hills and lakes of Seattle, Washington are a direct result of multiple Puget Lobe advances during the Ice Age. Beneath the drumlins, outwash, glacial troughs, and scattered glacial erratics lies the Seattle Fault, an active fault which has produced numerous magnitude 6 or higher earthquakes since the Ice Age. Interstate 90 exposes much of this geology in its first few miles heading east fro...
Volcanoes Around the World

Volcanoes around the world (Kilauea, Rainier, Mazama, Yellowstone, Long Valley) erupt magmas with differing silica contents - and therefore have constrasting eruptive styles.

Magma chemistry (silica content) is an important factor in determining the locati...
Lahars - Volcanic Mudflows

What is a Coulee?

What is a Coulee? Dramatic coulees of eastern Washington's Channeled Scablands were created by powerful Ice Age Floods that dug aggressively into the Columbia River Basalt flows.

Famous examples include Grand Coulee, ...

    Even after 9 years, this is still really good stuff. I have seen a lot of Nick's more detailed class videos on aspects of the geology of the Pacific Northwest, but these 2 minute geology pieces are still some of the best entry level videos out there. Thanks, Nick et al, for producing high quality long lasting material.

    Dear Nick Zentner and Tom Foster, Why hexagonal always forms vertical but not horizontal in Basalt? Maybe it is not volcanos? How can you prove your theory? Mud never cracks in perfect hexagonal, it is more random and chaotic cracks/shapes, so you can't compare it.

    If these petrified logs were cut or cracked by nature why most of the cross section of the cuts are flat and exact perpendicular to the length of the log 1:47 Petrified logs are old but the cuts are too perfect to be that old , may be by some old advanced civilizations

    After reading some of the comments, I see we have some interesting biblical skeptics who cannot combine scientific reality with the only book they seem to be able to read. Ha ha so funny. Keep teaching, Nick. I don't believe their preaching. They miss so much only conceiving history in the thousands instead of the true millions of years. And God is so much more mysterious and amazing when combined with scientific facts! Love your work. ing

    So first I thank you for assuming I am young! I accidentally stumbled on your videos and lectures in my google feed. I just want to thank you for making all of the earth forms of time make sense and for making millions of years of history come to life so succintly! I have not veen able to walk the trails you have taken me on but I am facinate by the scenery I saw through the windows of the semi truck I trained in as my mentor trained me to drive from the ohio valley to the west coast and back again. Thanks again. I now understand so much better what created the amazing formations and voids that are so picturesque. The mesas, plateaus, valleys, and coolees tell amazing stories of how our earth has become and is still becoming. Your enthusiasm is wonderfully infectious.
