32:41 the great eucalyptus trees of nor cal. Originally imported from Australia and planted along proposed routes of the future railroad . a fast growing sturdy very large wonderful smelling tree. It was supposed to be harvested for railroad ties ( hence them being planted along side proposed RR routes) but was found to be to heavy knotty and sporadic growing in different directions made for bad usage I f ties...but the world's best tree house trees... .. But combine Solano County being the fastest growing residential with fairfeild-Suisun RR I grew up in the best tree house building place anywhere. Tons of free scrap wood from large residential housing developments + 100 year old eucalyptus giants .. My treehouses growing up were incredible we would build ladders up them then construct big enclosed platforms at tops. Our best ones were when we could get our hands on scaffolding planks then connect the trees with them 60' up ... Alot of the times us little kids would bring the wood and build the beginning and the big kids rebuilt them much higher and sturdier. I cannot count how many skateboard ramps and treehouses we built lol during 3 month long summer breaks. Today kids do not have any adventure s like we had. I feel sorry for them playing video games inside like little homers .. Lolg
Prof. Lipps gets a bit emphatic about earthquake preparedness in his first few minutes for the benefit of those in the audience who might be visitors to that campus. As he shows at the end of his lecture, the UCB football stadium virtually straddles the Hayward Fault that's most-predicted as hosting the next Big One. This is due diligence as a campus host. A couple of discrepancies to note in Prof. Lipps presentation. Probably as a paleontologist, not a geophysicist, he sometimes mentions the "Richter scale" for earthquake magnitude; however, that scale was superseded in the Seventies for magnitudes ≥6.0. The modern system for strong earthquakes is the "moment magnitude scale". The Richter scale produces erroneous magnitudes for 6.0 and above. His various lists showed mixed uses of archaic and modern magnitudes. Also, his modeling of California, while highly informative, missed that the current Sierra Nevada is the 2nd generation. Today's Sierra Nevada's renown "roof pendant" regions are relicts of its multiphase ancestry.
I loveLoveLOVE UCTV!!! but the video quality needs help, please!! Any video presentations are out of focus/illegible~ and I'm just on a little laptop.... FRUSTRATED.
The webmaster for the California Earthquake Center webpage has told me that California experiences on average 30 earthquakes per day. For the most part these are all very low magnitude microquakes (~M 3.0 or less) and are not felt by people.
I agree that subduction as it is presented is not possible given the shapes of continents land mass and the physical examination at the shear zones in question are examined.
There's much more support for "continental drift" in plate tectonics than interpretive geomorphology. Seismologists have already done their "examination of several subduction shear zones. It's highly unlikely that any better evidence can be obtained.
Was in 1987 bayquake Chuck e cheese FF CA watching A's & Giants world series Was in lake arrowhead for the LA quake Then the 2005 ish Hawaii quake that knocked out power all island for 2 days ! I'm an expert !
He seems to be doing some rather loose and fuzzy thinking. The location I live is about 700 ft above sea level with no large bodies of water nearby. My risk for being killed by a tsunami approximates 0. The closest major fault zone to me is the New Madrid fault zone and it is fairly remote as well so I'm unlikely to experience anything worse than a 4. There are clearly locations in which people need to be much more concerned about these events than I do. He is also failing to note some truly nasty events that can be caused by quakes such as having your local city incinerated. I'm forced to conclude this man is a political activist and a bit of a buffoon. Not someone I'd want as an instructor.
I was hoping for more than this display of cleverness. Here's a insulated self-satisfied and smug academian who loves believing how especially smart he is. After all, those neato pieces of paper, bought for stratospheric expenditures of time and money from various fraudulent institutions of higher learning tell him so, right? He ridicules and 'flunks' the undergraduates that are his bread and butter because their labels for topographical features don't match his own programming. He ridicules other people for similar reasons. The extent of his own practical knowledge goes about as far as the ability to change a lightbulb, given a couple of tries. It would have been nice if he mentioned other faults besides those with famous names, but he's too busy putting on a show to fill the time with useful information. Such is the way with many of these self-important lecturer's, filling maximal time with minimal information. (another trait of 'Content Providers', and otherwise known as job security) Reminds me of my own (U.C. professor) stepfather, proudly calling himself a doctor, and a danger to himself with a screwdriver. At first I believed he was special too, but he repeatedly revealed himself as just another smug little 'educated' pr*ck, looking down on those who did work he couldn't.. such as changing a car tire, or drawing more convincingly than a stick figure on a blank page. In his defense however, he COULD imitate the illegible signature and handwriting of a Medical (real) Doctor. This isn't a lecture, it's a performance.
Some of the best and most listened to lecturers are performers. You go to sleep in a lecture by a dry professor quoting boring statistics. His performance apparently got your atten even if was just to invoke a shitstorm of criticism.
Research the Franciscan Formation/Assemblage/Complex. It's an extensive geologic assemblage of rocks that have been through a subduction process. California is 10 degrees of latitude, a huge state, and the Franciscan Assemblage is found along the coastal flank of the northern 3/4 of the state. At earlier stages of San Andreas Fault Zone history, the now-subducted Farallon Plate was the source of the Franciscan Assemblage than includes what many California geologists describe as melange, for its "ground-up" mixture of metamorphic rocks.
You know we actually map subduction zones now and can actually see the subduction game plates and can even see the de-lamination of the subducting plates in some of the more clear sounding images. Off shore buoys with their GPS sensors show how much movement they have over time. India is still the fastest moving body north and that’s why the Himalayas are still growing... which those sensors are showing movement monthly upwards. Our sensors off the coast of LA shows San Nicholas Island’s movement of an inch a year... what more proof would you need? Dogma? Doubtful... readjusting the religious meta would be more reasonable to account for what scientific proof has given us. We change the scientific record as needed. It would be gracious if the religious record could do the same as I’m sure there’s a way to do it and save face at the same time.
Yes Sir, Professor Atwater's work, is truly outstanding!
Super! Thank you all.

Great presentation. Thanks!
This is really good but some of the data has been surpassed all ready should get an updated version?

Why is Jack Nicholson talking about Scrooge Macduff...?
I'm not the only one that sees it!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was in J.C. Penny's Concord Ca 1989 3rd floor!!!

Andreas: Whose fault is it? Whose, California, eh?
California: It’s yours, dumbass‼️
😏😑😂‼️
Sneij needs to do some research. It is fun and enlightening "doctor".
That 8.7 wasn't a aftershock!! Was a totally separate earthquake

Tighten your little foil hat.Kat..
Dis vid older than me lol

Quite. I flunk him.
Meh. He fails to mention what didn't need to be mentioned...that you're not in California.
Didnt you hear the earth is flat
A scientist who can't say arctic. So 😮😢sad.
👍...
I always knew it was calis fault of its own that will do itself in.
Lol
Jk

Arbitrary obfuscation is not an indication of intelligence.

@ 18.18 : there is no evidence for subduction; it is a scientific -religious dogma
