Oh man, a rare moment of pride to see part of my work mentioned in a CC vid. Feels great!^^ Before you ask, no, i´m not a geologist. I work as a technician for the Fraunhofer Institute IST in Germany, and we participated in the production of the Sentinel 1 series of Satellites commissioned and operated by ESA. Sure, it sounds like only a small thing, to have only been part of the production chain of a few parts (the CFRP Antennae), but Satellites are nothing if not the product of Teamwork. To know that my work helps provide data so that we may understand the world more and more accurately will always fill me with pride!
All my respect to Alfred Wegener, who got vindicated as one of the most revolutionary scientists of all time after decades of mockery by his colleagues, but didn't live enough to see it.
I find it fascinating to think that it isn't that many generations ago that we didn't know about this stuff. I'm genuinely interested to know what the scientific thought about earthquakes and volcanoes was before that. Also just to add that Alizé is one of the best presenters that Crash Course has had, and I hope we'll be seeing more of her when this series is over!
I loved the video, since one of my favorites subjects to investigate is the Marianas Trench and the Tectonic Plates, so this video has helped me to understand so much more!!!! So im gonna keep investigating more!!!
As someone who is having a very hard time grasping the more scientific aspects of geography at university, I wanted to suggest the following: Please explain tectonics as we know it today first, then explain the research behind it, and how we learned what we do now. Knowing very little about geology, it was very difficult to follow along with the first portion of the video. I had to look a bunch of things up just to come back and restart it. I LOVE crashcourse, just a suggestion.
Amazing the amount of knowledge and understanding in my life time alone yet the effect of understanding the forces of geology by such people as Darwin and Wallace seem to have had a huge impact on the collective knowledge of humankind. That copy of Principles of Geology seemed never to be to far away.
Being a Missourian, I wish she would have explained how faults like the New Madrid fault line exists. The heart of that area is nothing but flat sandy soil that used to be the bed of the Mississippi River.
It would’ve made more sense to horizontally flip the graphic of the convergent plate boundary, so that it reads better when looking at the map on the right.
Since it’s about plate tectonics this video is a literal crash course
I am a geologist and the joy people have learning about this gorgeous field of study makes me so happy. (and yes, we sometimes lick stones)

that's so cool!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I always get super excited when they (e.g. Eons TH-cam channel) mention a Lagerstätte I visited.
Thanks for your hard work, Sir o7

As someone taking geology right now in college, this video is so helpful! Very interesting too!

Loving this series! Would love a series dedicated to geology and the geologic history of the earth

My favorite CC so far!
i wish that instead of a 1 hr lecture at school they just had us watch this video and take notes

This was the best episode so far !! I'm really loving this series and looking forward to the next episode
Fun Fact. That's the same Robert Edwin Dietz that made the Dietz Lantern company. Their lanterns are a staple in the third world, to this day.
I love 💘this videos, information with present and past , it's completely 👌 perfect 🥰. Good job. Thanks alize and thanks crash course.
3:19 Shrek, founding father of plate tectonics
I’ve been waiting for you (this episode)
One of my favorite videos! :D
"The Plate Tectonics Revolution" sounds like a really fancy way to describe somebody spinning dinner plates as a trick.

Good job getting the details (or deets, as kids today would say) to us.

Thanks for this beautiful video
Informative..👍👍
Yay! New episode!
I love this video keep up the good work :)
I was waiting for your video
Your earring are so nice to look at :)
Why is it that I see this as more fun learning that school they should make learning fun so it sticks in their minds
"America, Britain abd Europe" - isn't Britain part of Europe - the continent?
Great video
Not a geologist, but wow 😳 this is very interesting.
Very Informative
Too dope🔥
let me know if she says anything about j tuzo wilson xx
I remember learning about this.
Why is the 'ring of fire' not contiuous along its abutting the antarctic plate?
I think we got our Crash Course Geology in our Crash Course Geography
0:12 That is a beautiful country.
...I'm not biased. :-)
Nice
helpful
What's up with that one volcano seperated from the east of the Pacific rim?
It would’ve made more sense to horizontally flip the graphic of the convergent plate boundary, so that it reads better when looking at the map on the right.
Hell yeah
👍👍👍👍👍
She couldn't travel because she was a woman ... damn
interesting
hi
Wow
Shouldn't this be under "Crash Course Geology"?
Can we acknowledge for a second how punk of a name 'Drummond Matthews' is?
Incoming Triggered Geology guys with tHiS sHouLd be in gEoLOgy Comments. Lmao
Nobody gives attention that she is standing all along!
Comment for the algorithm
Can someone help me get 20 notes from this video
This is the foundation of knowledge ...not superstition
The earth expands lol
But the Earth is flat..... JK.
