This was interesting and informative. It would be nice to see it done with more advanced animation showing more detailed "time-lapse" representations inclusive of subsidence, uplift and fault-induced relative movement etc. (...oh and better audio quality on the commentary) One of these should also be done showing the generation of our oil and gas deposits as well as the pitch lake...but that would probably be a full length movie. I suspect however, that it could be done in about 30 mins with the right recruitment and implementation of technological and financial resources.
Thank you, this is helpful. Am I understanding correctly that only the Northern Range is a proper chunk of the South American mainland and that the rest of Trinidad is largely erosion deposition and subsequent uplift? Or is it a combination of oceanic inundated areas, deposition, and uplift? Or did I just mash up the whole thing? :)
Replying to this 2 years later! The Northern Range and parts of the Central Range can be considered a 'proper chunk' of the mainland, and much of the older rocks can be found here, with equivalents in Venezuela. Much of the remaining landmass is due to the erosion, deposition and continued uplift of these older rocks.
@@hasleyvincent5589 No worries :) Thank yo for the reply. I'm actually an anthropologist, not geologist, and I do cultural research in Trinidad. I just happen to have a side interest in geology. I also bring college students to T&T, some of whom have these kinds of interests.
Great video! As a former geoscience student it was a nice refresher!
