The Great Basin: A Fractured Land

- The Great Basin is a super unique geologic region within the US; it is the largest continuous region of endorheic basins (regions where water ways do not lead to any major world ocean). This video will detail the formation of the Basin, as well as a brief Native and European history in the region. This video is a slight change to my usual format so I hope you all like it!

Great video. It's nice that you are not an AI voice, and everything you say is obviously something you understand and probably wrote yourself.
I'm studying geology currently and yes I do script stuff out! Thank you very much for your comment; I appreciate you!
I am from El Paso, Texas and I too love hiking. I just randomly found your channel and it makes me so happy and is educating me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and interest!
Look at a map and find a isolated range then follow the road. That is the best way to explore the Great Basin.
As a man who loves staring at google earth for hours on end; I 100% agree (:
Born n raised in Reno. Great video dude. Fallon Naval Air Station, Area51, the Nevada Triangle, the Lovelock Giants, and the densest population of ski lifts in the world are located in the GB.
Interesting! thanks for sharing! I am a Reno person myself
Great presentation….Thank you.
thank you!
This is great! Learned so much!
Such a great video! Well done my friend. Happy to have found your channel fellow lover of ecology
Sooooo interesting. This is fantastic info.
Thank you! I got a lot more stuff coming like this; stay tuned (:
Your research amd presentation are great. Thanks for the video. Keep it up!
thank you! i'll do my best to keep it comin!
Great video! Thanks for all the info!
thanks for your comment! I got more on the way!
Thanks Jack. Good information.
Nice job. Thanks!
I appreciate that! Stay tuned for more (:
Great video!
How about a video on Colorado National Monument! It's grandeur is amazing and underrated.
Believe it or not I actually got something in the works for that already! Stay tuned! (:
Very good and interesting video. I could understand every word
I appreciate that
My favorite too ! Ty 😊
Well done. Informative, interesting and entertaining. I want to go.
thank you! I got more content coming soon!
I was wrong! Tahoe IS in the Great Basin. Humble Pie for Me
Learning is good!😅
that's what this channel is all about! (:
@thenaturalexperience2140 Great video and info. I am very interested in what may be either a railroad map or Pony Express map shown between 8:48 and 9:45. If you can please share the location where that is from and if it can be obtained by us viewers how to do so if you are familiar with that. Thank you!

I replied with the link for the source! The sources for all my videos are in a google doc that I linked in the description; the pony express was sorta like the oregon trail; it wasn't necessarily a railway it was more of a well treaded path
@@thenaturalexperience2140 Awesome!. Thank you!
Good stuff
I appreciate that
I have been interested in the great basin for years, only drove through Nevada a couple of times.
I live in Nevada; so I experience it everyday! Plenty of amazing spots to check out; if you need any recommendations let me know
Thx for the pix of Utes... tiniest horses I've seen, especially the white one. Looks like an alfalfa deficiency.
GL
I never really thought about it, but you're right; those horses are tiny!
Mongol ponies were said to be small.
Home. More accurately, Las Vegas is home, but technically the metro area lies in the Colorado drainage. However, the Basin is a short drive away.
that's what I like about Mount Charleston; it's right along the boundary of the great basin! Thanks for your comment!
@@thenaturalexperience2140 Funny. I never really thought of the Spring Mountains as a Boundary Range, but you’re right. One of the craziest transition Zones in Nevada is the Meadow Valley Wash. It’s that finger of the Colorado Drainage that stretches North into the Great Basin that by some freak of crust fracturing nature drains into the Colorado. All the flora, fauna, and geology are pure Grat Basin but the water does eventually reach the sea, sorta. The other interesting transition zone is up near Tonopah, which is dry dusty high cold rain shadow desert. Not that far to the east , the clouds seem to get their mojo back an everything turns back into Sagebrush valleys and juniper/pinion pine mountains. It’s mind boggling to consider Ely and Tonopah are roughly the same distance north and the same elevation.
@@williamolliges2622 Yeah that finger area of of the colorado drainage is quite interesting, I did notice that when making this video. I live in Reno currently so I totally know what you mean! If you drive in a straight line from Reno to the eastern part of the state it's 10 times as green!
You should make a video talking about mt Charleston or spring mountains, and sheep mountain rancge. And southern nevada in general. I know it may be near cross over but would be great to touch on i seen a video on how st George area is a cross of 3 different environments. Great basin, mojave, colorado plateau
I actually have been thinking about making a Mt Charleston video; it's my favorite mountain the Great Basin. Stay tuned!
@@thenaturalexperience2140 the video is called “ triple junction of southwest utah” . Not enough info talked about around this amazing region. Most ppl caught up in the hustle bussel of L.V. It would be a great video if you made one!! Spring mountains seem under appreciated. The sheep range seems spooky lol then the mountains near Caliente Nevada. Many layers and ecosystems. I love the pinyon-juniper. Spirt mountain and Mount mccullough seems cool. And how maybe the basin connects to Az ? Im not sure 🤔
The Great Inland Sea
Lake Lahontan is super fascinating, so is lake bonneville; I think i'm gonna do a video on em soon
“Their cries are being overlooked”. (1:12) Overlooked implies something accidental, while IGNORED is much more accurate.
no doubt, perhaps it was a poor choice of words... although in Thacker passes case the Native voices were listened to and councils held; but the amount of money the project is projected to generated proved to alluring of a prospect to respect the faith and territory of our nations original inhabitants... it's a sad situation all around
Tahoe drains west. Not in basin. I lived on both sides. Sorry dude!
Tahoe drains into the Truckee River on the north shore that drains east to Pyramid lake east of Tahoe..... sorry dude
ghosttown is correct, but hey I still appreciate the comment
Geologically, Tahoe is straddling a boundary. In one sense it's located within the Sierra Nevada batholith, and is part of that uplifted granite block which defines the western boundary of the Basin and Range province. But it is also located within a graben, structurally related to the Basin and Range extensional tectonics. It leaves the western shore of Lake Tahoe, but loops east, into the Great Basin. Without the Truckee River, Pyramid Lake would not even be a lake, just another of the many isolated dessicated valleys that populate the Great Basin.
Noah's flood. The Bible is true.
not bad but too wordy to watch. maybe next time hire someone with a voice to narrate for you.
I'm working on it Steve, geo concepts are sometimes very hard to condense in a digestible way; and my voice does suffer a bit after hours of exams and masters level work
Lame comment that serves no purpose. Tearing people down and their hard work is despicable.
go to hell "steve"
Yo Steve I know where you live buddy, maybe next time you should hire someone to hide your personal information before runnin your mouth. Oil yourself up lil bro I'm on my way
Okay I thought his voice was fine but since you think otherwise why don't you man up and narrate for him I wanna hear the real Steve.
