- It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that each continent of our planet is unique.
Because every continent has something that others don't. Be it climate, geography, flora or fauna.
Today, let's embark on a journey across an incredibly vibrant continent that combines two seemingly incongruous things - the most advanced civilization and the most beautiful nature.
You guessed it, we're talking about North America.
In this video, you will learn:
Why are tornadoes so prevalent in North America?
Is the Yellowstone supervolcano really that scary?
How did it happen that for a long time, the same animals have inhabited Eurasia and North America?
And how did a huge part of North America come to be occupied by... Europe?!
North America.
Alaska's Aleutian Islands extend far enough west that they're in the Eastern Hemisphere, making Alaska the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost State
I need one of these videos for every continent now!
Most tornadoes in the world are in the Midwest of the USA. I’m not aware of super strong tornadoes in California.
🌪 Exactly! Just look at the map of tornado alley and the NOAA EF5 history may for the US. www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/f5torns.html
Now that you mention it I've never heard about a tornado in California either.
California averages 10 tornadoes each year. They do occur occasionally, particularly in the Los Angeles Basin and Central Valley. Tornadic activity in California, to my understanding, is usually (but not always) associated with winter storms.
As with most tornadoes, most of these are weak (EF0-EF1). With regard to strong (F2/EF2+) tornadoes, there are a few on record, including an F2 that struck Los Angeles in March 1983.
We had 3 in a week in a half but I’m in NY I know a lot of different natural disasters in California
North America was not unknown. The native American people were here!!
And Mexicans
Stop being neo-racist. How could they be native American before it was named America? They were Turtle Back Islanders.
@@JuarezDerrick "Native Americans" includes native Mexicans, as Mexico is part of North America, and of the Americas in general for that matter. "Native United Statesians" would be a different story. 😄
Unknown to the rest of the world. Try and keep up🙄
Yes and the native Americans were called VIKINGS
Unknown to the Europeans, but it was totally inhabbited so Columbus didn't "discover" anything.
Facts. Makes you wonder what else they lie about , and teach in schools.
If you discover a new restaurant, it doesn't mean it wasn't there previously or that you're the first person to eat there, it just means it is new to you (in this case the Europeans of the day).
Columbus never set foot in this country
@@shonsadler3817 Not 100% sure what country you are referring to but technically he never set foot in any country in on this side of the Altantic. It in fact would have been impossible for anyone to set foot in the United States until after 1776.
He discovered the lands to the west of Europe.
First off Christopher Columbus didn't discover anything and never stepped on North America and didn't see it. I thought everyone knew this by now '
No we don't know that by now because most people are stuck on stupid. 😂
All of those islands are in NA.
I hate Christopher as much as the next guy for being a raping, murderous slaver but the dude definitely stepped foot on North America.
But yes he never visited the NA mainland, although he did on South America.
Beautiful video!!! Thank you!
Thank you very much from those of us who use feet, yards, miles, etc., and not kilometers ETC like me who were taught that in school. I am now 87 years old, I was born on January 3rd, 1937. 👵🐈⬛🐈⬛Me, Teo, and TwoTwo my cats!
Happy birthday Craig
no we know just lazy dumb ppl dont and dont care about ur age
right on 2904
I learned the 'old' measurements too. I'm also thankful I don't have to convert metric in my head lol 🇨🇦
I truly love documentaries like this. Please don't ever stop making them ! ❤️🔥
Excellent. Great information. And thankyou for giving meters and feet. No one else does that.
Thank you for sharing, much appreciated 💖
Excellent. Thank you!
wow no Lake Winnipeg, Great Slave Lake, Great Bear Lake and Georgian Bay and Niagara Falls is split between Canada and the US not just the US
With the horseshoe falls being Canada's
According to this video, North America includes Canada, Mexico and the US + 21 other countries, yet, 95% of the video talks about Canada & the US. Completely omits so much of the rich diversity and ancient history of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. May as well rename the video to Canada & US facts.
As an earth and space science teacher, this video hits so many vocabulary words and lessons taught throughout the school year and summarizes it into a lovely video. Great tool to help student learn about their own back yard and see how all of these processes add up what we have today. Great Job!
4:30 mark... a point of fact. The Arbuckle Mts of southern Oklahoma are older than the Appalachians. They're so ancient and heavily eroded that even some people who live here don't realize these hills were once giant mountains.
Nicely done and presented. Outstanding footages, excellent narration. My huuuuge like is all yours, free of charge. I learned all these facts at a small rural school in Belarus, of which I am pretty sure the majority of you have no clue, notwithstanding the fact that the country is in the geographical middle of Europe. 😊
I hate to break it to you but even EF5 tornadoes only have wind speeds around 300 mph and not 800.
That number came from a Meet Arnold video
Why did you leave out the Pecan tree, in your list of trees. They cover a large area of the Southeast!!!
And with those trees, comes one of my favorites PECAN PIE 🥧
But they included, several times, the once dominant Chesnut tree, which was almost totally destroyed by an invasive disease.
Love the video but how do you do a whole segment on volcanos and not even mention Mt St Helens?
Thanks for letting people know that North America is not just the U.S.A.
Like it really matters.
He missed out a lot of the Caribbean and Central America like it doesn’t exist and isn’t in the North American continent
Niagara Falls in the USA..sorry you lost me there. Horseshoe Falls is in Canada bud; u guys are too "USA-centric" for my taste
then gtf from round here then
More like top US-Canada centric, 95% of the video features Canada & the US.
Yes they did mention that it is in both countries
At around 5:30, this video states that plate tectonics caused the Bering Land Bridge to sink below the sea 11,000 years ago. Actually, this submergence, which did occur roughly 11,000 years ago, I believe, was caused by the melting of the Ice Sheets that covered much of Canada and Europe, primarily, at the end of the latest Ice Age.
not one like u know u wrong
He is perfectly right, unlike your grammar and punctuation. 😮@@tylerlormand5644
End of the pleistocene era melt water caused the sea level to rise like 400 feet worldwide.
That’s an interesting and well presented video. Thank you
5:40 mark.... it was a warming climate and sea level rise that separated Asia from Alaska, not tectonic forces. Eastern Siberia is part of North America's plate. Not 6 minutes in, and already 2 errors.
not 6 minutes in a you already proved how dum some ppl r
There videos aren’t known for their accuracy
Columbus didn't discover "America."
I mean he discovered for the wider world. Most people had zero knowledge of its existence for all of human history.
Fun fact- I’m just an idiot born in ‘64 and I knew most of that from regular schooling. My daughter, a college graduate, knows nothing about anything.
Same here. I’m another idiot born in ‘76 and my daughter graduated high school recently and thought Tennessee had a coastline
My husband is 43 and thought the dark spots on the moon were the reflections of the continents on earth ☠️ He went to one of the worst school systems in our area and I went to one of the best and it is quite obvious which school system actually cared about students getting a quality education and offering any help needed vs one that will just pass anyone just to get them out of there. My husband has ADHD and is dyslexic and can't learn in a normal school environment well. Their IEP program was pointless and just passed them if they showed up. Our school had an amazing program and I wasn't in it, but the people that were , got all the help and support they needed and actually got good grades . The school systems have just gotten worse over the years sadly. I fear for the future of this country being run by people who can't write in cursive or read a clock unless it is digital.
Oh my gosh--I can't believe this--but I agree with all three of you. We sound so cynical, but when I left high school I could read Latin, play the piano and name every capital city in the world. I understood orbital mechanics and the dynamics of evolution, the details of reproduction, importance of vaccinations and reacting safely to a natural disaster.
My kids are stumped by all of that, and almost resent me talking about it. And, aarrghh!--they and their peers don't write in cursive, don't know a second language, play a musical instrument or hold a drivers' license. It's very depressing! Although somehow very helpful that other parents bemoan the same circumstances.
When I was a little kid, (I'm 76 now) there were "pen pals", which were other kids we exchanged letters with, like in Canada, Alaska, or England. It helped us to learn about other countries. I wonder if kids ever use "snail mail" anymore in a world with e-mail. Why would a kid go to the trouble of finding stationery, stamps, pens and all that, and create a "hard copy" to journey for days in the mail system across continents, when he can e-mail anyone in the world instantly. I guess pen pals have gone the way of the horse and buggy.😮
Why am I not surprised at the daughter who thinks Tennessee has a coastline!?? I find it perplexing that there are people who have zero interest in geography! And these idiots actually vote! I am FASCINATED by geography. I can draw a pretty accurate map of not only the United States but in fact most of the world! The only part I might be a little fuzzy about might be those countries around the Black and Caspian Seas. 😊
U forgot about the Pecan trees in the Southern States along with with Cedar trees
its cyprus
Columbus never set foot in North America. That fact, and his brutality toward all of the indigenous people unfortunate enough to see him/be in his way, is reason enough not to name anything for him...much less an entire continent. 🤬
Maybe I missed it but did he not mention one of the most common fauna in North America the trash panda 🦝.
no mention of big cats?! puma, lynx, bobcat
Jaguars in Guatemala which is still part of North America
well I’m pretty sure that Christofer Columbus DID NOT discover America. Infact I don’t believe he ever even touched land here in America.
He didn’t even come close to the modern US mainland, Columbus landed in the Caribbean and Central America. Which is funny how so many Americans rever him when he has nothing to do with American history. Guess when you have very little history, some people just try to look for heroes wherever they can.
@@darthjarjar5309John Cabot is the real never-appreciate hero that people claim Columbus to be.
You do know that Columbus never did get to America. He landed on the isle of Tortuga on north coast of Haiti. So, he really didn’t discover North American continent.
Thank you!
Sorry but devils tower use to be a tree . i just want to know who cut it down .
Tom Bombadil....
Paul Bunion ?
There’s a lot of confusion around the word “discovered.” In simple terms, to discover something is to find or see something for the first time. Whether or not it was the Vikings, Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, or someone else who discovered it first will always be debated.
To discover something does not nullify the fact that it did not exist before. It means that the subject had no prior knowledge of what they discovered. It does not negate the fact that there were, indeed, Indigenous and/or Native peoples inhabiting and thriving on their land.
no we kno who was here first its not for debate when its a fact
Ñ
And now we know all the "natives" we're migrants too with the help of DNA.
There are many "Americans" who haven't discovered Canada yet.
Well done~
I’m just here to listen his soothing voice so I can sleep.
This video is almost as challenging as my 8th grade Earth Science class. Not surprised in a society where the highest grossing movie of the year is about a Barbie doll.
Again, some fascinating information. 😮
Kinda of a bummer how he mostly mentions the facts that are in Canada US and Mexico and barely talk about places like Greenland and the countries in Central America and the Caribbean smh. Like North America doesn’t just involve Canada and US.
basically ignore everything after 47:12 as it has NOTHING to do with the natural features of any regions of North America. 'somebody' decided to insert some 'eco-friendly terminologies' and attack human impact on the Continent. but this was moderately counter-pointed with the non-specific mention (AND INCORRECT TIMELINES!) of conservation, reclamation, preservation, and education about ecological matters in North America.
Okay, you lost me on the discovery of America. Imagine living in 2024 and not knowing America was inhabited long before Christopher or Americas .
"You people" need to stop being Semantiphobic. If I say, "I discovered a Chinese Restaurant downtown yesterday", it doesn't mean that I Constructed the building and Invented egg rolls or was the first person to ever eat Chinese food.
Discover means to find something Unexpectedly. The discovery is on the part of the person doing the looking NOT on the object being found. So something can be discovered by more than one person.
For example, just because I discovered you are an Idiot doesn't mean that Many People haven't discovered the same thing before. Imagine living in 2024 and not knowing the definition of Discover.
Furthermore, even if you were correct, you are still wrong in This instance because the narrator specifically quantified the use of the word "discovered" by adding the context of European in the previous sentence.
Sometimes being "That Person" doesn't make you as Cool as you think it does.
imagine somebody come to ur home tells u get out and takes over.....then give u cuppord under the stairs ........fuk the frointers
Amazing Review!!!!
You didn't mention the mega caldera located in El Salvador
North America was not a new country when Columbus accidentally bumped into it, millions of people were already here.
Well ..u know what he means when he says" New"
By *Cordillera" in the Canadian Rockies, I assume you are referring to the Rocky Mountains. The word "Cordillera" is usually used to name the same range in SOUTH America. In Mexico it is usually called "Sierra." 😊
Yeah. That's a new word for me. In 75 years of learning about my home continent I have never heard that term until this video.
❤....l liked the information about the Russian island n the USA island 15 minute walk but U change days...pretty cool....❤
At 19:18, please check a definition.
How can the Great Basin be the largest "plateau" ?
A basin is the opposite of a plateau.
@2:00 Columbus didn’t discover America. How can you discover something that isn’t lost? Plus the Vikings were in North America 500 years before Columbus.
If and whenever the US education system returns to actually teaching the children properly. This video and others like it, should be made mandatory. It is amazing how many young adults are clueless of the topic of this program. Even political representatives are ignorant of this topic.
The word "Extinct" not overly used here.
It’s insulting that he said that the Niagara Falls was in the US. Everyone here knows that it splits the border AND the best half of the falls is on the Canadian side.
@Silence_between_waves ...speaking of nitpicking...insulted vs offended?
This whole video is biased
Depends on your definition of BEST, my Canadian friend 😉. This Grand Island, NY resident does happen to agree with you, BTW….
Would be intersting for new Documentry on this Channel how many Calderas are on the North American Continent and how likely are they to erupt in the Near Future +- 100 years. I know 5 of Them Long Valley, Yellowstone National Park, Novarupta, Lassen Peak, La Gratia.
Thanks
I think the Narrator shud do his research again because I know 100% we First Nations of America was here waaaay before Columbus ... matter of fact wen is the history in schools gonna be rewritten n the honorable truth on how Columbus really approached the new America...thx
Learn how to spell.
I will always teach and call Mt. McKinley it's real name, Mt. McKinley.
50:07 The real name is Denali. What our people called it. Not McKinley just because some white man saw it for the first time.
@user-yh9dd3th1z Before i die, i will ensure that all signs and acknowledgments are corrected to Mt. McKinley.
Why did you not mention worlds tallest vertical cliff being in north america? Mount Thor in Baffin Island Canada. Lots of missing and important geological facts and not much mention of Mexican info. Canada also has a desert in the Okanagan region of British Columbia.
it’s a 50 minute video if you want to cover every possible geological facts the video would be like 4 hours
6:22 The part about walking 2.4 miles in 15 minutes or less. That is a big old no, average person's walk speed is 3-4 miles per hour. I live almost exactly 2 miles from where I work & it takes me 45 minutes to walk there over very hilly terrain. If you were sprinting then perhaps it would be possible but you would have to be super fit for that to happen.
[RE: Devils Tower]
"Particularly impressionable people." Hahahaha, that's one way of putting it.
Scotland shares the Appalachian mountains
I loved how tornadoes destroyed so many square miles and formed coastal bars...
At 9:30, you state that the northern most spot of the mainland of North America is Cape Murchison.
Please look at your map. Cape Murchison is on an island -- far north of the mainland.
There was people living here aready it was known
The highest tornado wind speed recorded on earth is 301 mph, +/- 20. I'd hate to see a supersonic 800 mph tornado 😂. Where did you check that fact?
Corpus species, aka nutria, remind me so much of a diminutive version of capybara.
Now I'm pining for the fjords!
Ummmm…. The St. Francois Mountains, in southeast Missouri, are three times as old as the Appalachians. They are over 1.5 to 1.8 billion years old. The Appalachians are 65 million years old.
they are older than that the appalachians were formed during Pangea which was around 300,000,000 to 200,000,000 years ago during the end of the triassic start of the jurassic periods in fact the same rocks found in the appalachians can be found in england ,ireland ,and Scotland th-cam.com/video/WROQIdM8YW4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IHf1_C9JSHr2acnj

Uhm, can you explain how Greenland is "northwest of the mainland" as stated somewhere near the 11:00 mark? Otherwise, some good information. Caught an error at around the 39:00 minute mark when the narrator describes the base of a Sequoia Tree as "5 meters, or 65 feet". Just a bit off. NOT trying to detract from the excellent work, just pointing out some issues. It sort of tests my knowledge of what I may THINK I know...
Appalachians are in Scotland too.
5:50 Sarah Palin paid for this bit😂
"CONTEXT: CLIMATE CHANGES " thanks youtube
WELL Done!😍
If Yellowstone blows we’re all dead. Think snowball earth.
At 5:23, please check current theories on migration of human beings to North America.
Your comment about "on foot" is no longer the predominant theory.
Using the Panama Canal for shipping does nothing to protect the United States or our allies. I would like to setup high speed rail from our Golf States to the ports of California and other points of industry where goods can be distributed throughout the country and other parts of the world from California.
Gulf states?
Wouldn't it have been unknown to anyone who wasn't here, though?
Isn't Australia the largest island in the world.
That's what I say. But they don't count it as an Island because it's too big.
as always, they always focus mostly on Canada and the U.S in these North American documentaries lol
Could you harvest the energy at Yellowstone in order to mitigate an eruption?
The Devil's Tower is in the movie Close Encounters of the Thrid kind.
This video has Way to many ads!! I've had enough and not finishing it. Hell I already know whats being said
gtf then if u too dumb to download a ad blocker
If you watch in a browser, get an ad blocker like UBlock origin and never watch another ad on YT again.
Most Eastern point in North America is cape spear Newfoundland
I was always taught that the Missouri was the longest river
Tornadoes wind speed dont get up to 800mph lol. I think 250-300mph is about max.
This is an overall good video; however, you dropped the ball on fauna. Red, fallow and sitka deer are Eurasian species. North American species are whitetail and mule deer, as well as elk and moose (which you did mention). And I can't believe you almost completely ignored the largest feline predator, the mountain lion. Also, it seems to me that the video images you used as closeups of American bison were actually European wisent.
He also failed to mention a lot of information about the Caribbean and Central America as if it’s not part of North America
Check your facts: in land acreage, the USA has a larger land mass than Canada.
The story of America certainly did not start with Columbus, The Vikings, or even The so-called Native Americans, but rather the ones who came way before the "natives."
The grand canyon was not carved out by a river. The canyon and most of the landscape were gouged out and carved out by the ice age and ice sheets.
What did the Cheyenne call Devils Tower?
Bear's Lodge
The Cheyenne call Devils Tower "Bear's Lodge," "Bear's House," "Bear's Tipi," and "Bear Peak." The Cheyenne camped and hunted at Bear's Lodge in the winter and consider it a holy place.May 31, 2023
Many of you may have never heard these truths:
Our heavenly Father allows for signs in the earth, heavens, and environmental upheavals to call His children home; the mind and heart are the soul's strength; your soul will spend an eternity somewhere; it is appointed to man once to die and then the judgment; there is no lasting hope in this world; Hope deferred makes the heart
sick: but when the desire, Jesus comes, it is a tree of life. Whoso despises the WORD of God shall be destroyed: but he that fears the commandments (Exodus 20) shall be rewarded; The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that
do God's commandments: His praise and mercy endures for ever; and For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believes in Jesus should not perish,
but have everlasting life. For God sent not His
Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through him might be saved. Please choose life, while it is called today!
Nothing exists outside of the U.S., ... right?1 Great rivers? What about the MacKenzie river, the St. Lawrence river among others. Water Falls? You showed the horseshoe portion of Niagara Falls in Canada. Lakes? What about Lake Winnipeg, Great Slave Lake, Great Bear Lake, etc. Canada has 1/5 of the world's fresh water. North America is not just the U.S.
Columbus didn't discover shit.
Asking for support and approval before viewing the product isn't best business practice.
Columbus, did not discover North America…
This documentary should replace North America by United States... North America is not only one country aka the United States. Mexico, Canada and others are also in the North America. The Niagara Falls are also in Canada. Actually, the Horseshoe one is exclusively in Canada. In fact, the most spectacular view to appreciate them is on the Canadian side of the border. There's also the Saguenay fjord which should have been in this documentary as it is a rare "intracontinental" fjord and one of the 10 longer fjords on the planet. There's a lot of interesting facts in North America outside of the United States... There's also the Okanagan Desert which is not mentionned in the documentary. Also, the native americans, mayas and inuits were here way before the europeans came here. And the first europeans were... vikings!
wrong on many but u tried tho..........and at what did he say ima gonna tell everys single one not once
Let's not forget the ancient Chinese explorers who came too.
Actually Greenland belongs to Denmark from the start. But geologically it is part of NA, so eko, political it is European.
How can someone discover a place where people already exist
You need to up date your info.

They sure do. Archaeologists have done extensive work on the North American continent….there’s a whole different school of thought to how our landscape here was shaped.
You were doing pretty good until you started on the environment issues. You are spreading environmental BS.
About minute 23 in the video, you state that some view Devil's Tower to be a stump.
What ??? Duh !!! Where did you get that one?
Wouldn't Native American legends about the tower be more appropriate here?
Wow there is a lot of information and pronunciations wrong in this video. Cool video but there is just so much wrong that it kinda overlooks the rest of it.
Yall some straight gangsters! Keep this s*** up love your videos!😁👍. Am i trippin or is the History channel logo on the bottom right.. good yall should be on the history channel.
