Andrew, thanks for making these awesome videos. My son(5) and I watch these to understand the history and geological mechanisms that have shaped the world around us. After watching your videos, it is hard to drive by a road cut or a cliff face without wanting to stop, look and wonder how and when the rocks we see were placed there. Please keep making videos, we really look forward to them. :)
Ronald Eddy Jr thank you very much, I’m flattered! I’m amazed how fast some of you get to these! I haven’t even finished adding the links and such to it! Oregon and it’s geology have been a huge influence on my life, and Im very glad to see that it’s working! Thanks for your support!
It is my understanding that lahars are distinct from landslides. Lahars originate on volcanoes and can run for miles down river valleys due to their high water content. The solids floating in the fast-moving lahar come from thousands of years of eruption deposits clinging to unstable, snowy volcano slopes. Tacoma, WA, sits on an old Mt.Rainier lahar. An example of a classic landslide would be the Bridge of the Gods landslide in the Columbia River Gorge which was spectacular but had little or nothing to do with a volcano. The Columbia is older than the Cascades; as they were uplifted while the river maintained a course that became the Gorge; the resulting sheer walls on the north side were and remain unstable; landslides are inevitable. Please keep up the great work!
Michael OBrien you are correct; though lahars are grouped under the vast umbrella of “landslide” or “mass movement”, and people are generally more likely to understand landslide than lahar so that’s why I use landslide as much as I do. Some remobilized volcanic and glacial debris created a small lahar on Mt. Hood (White River) in the early 2000s.
Andrew I'm a Amateur geologist and I have been hooked on it since I was 19 when Mt. St. Helens erupted. I now have my own TH-cam geology channel. Where are you working now?

@@BetterGeology I continue to be impressed with how much you compress into < 300 seconds. Don't let me discourage you.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Well done
Thank you!
Well done... subscribed.
Thank you!
@@BetterGeology You deserve it.
Lahar! 😊
Andrew are you or were you a Geology student? You have a well rounded information for a young man
the NW geology Guy yes I am just a few months away from my degree!
