I received my undergraduate degree in Colorado, and I am currently pursuing my PhD in geology. Your video is very accurate in terms of all accounts of the geologic history of the region. Colorado is the most exceptional area in the United States for learning geology, and I make sure to come back every year to visit all of the fascinating locations available to the geoscientist.
I have lived here my whole life and so has my family dating back 5 generations. I got really emotional during this documentary and I am so happy you did such a stellar job in making it, the respect and care you put into this production is without flaw. I had no idea about 99% of what was told in this program and it really showed me how I cant take for granted the epic history lying under my feet that supports my life and the lives of everything I love. thank you so so much.
I can only imagine the amount of work that went into making this all come together. brilliant. I agree with Gondwana " This video sets a new standard for any self-respecting institution when it comes to describing the geological history of any region they wish to study."
I took a few geology courses including geomorphology decades ago. Over the years I always look at rocks and landforms, especially when I visit Colorado and remember those fascinating lessons. Thank you so much for this wonderful refresher!
Can’t believe it took me so long to find this video. I moved to Boulder from Chicago, and lived there for 4 years. To this day wish I had never left! Great video. Also kudos on the timeline box in the lower right. Plus, you used Christopher Scotese’s incredible animations of plate tectonics. Again, very well done!
Dubthedirector hehehe I see watch you did there.😂 Oh wait I mean they did nothing they are telling the truth it’s terrible my friend was frozen in a block of ice on his way to school and bears ate him
Sure, just go to Shell or Chevron. Their executives would love to your shake your hand. It would give them another opportunity to tell you how awesome oil in in Colorado, the jobs it brings, blah blah blah. I didn’t once hear oil portrayed negatively
This is amazing. It really illustrates how dynamic the Earth's surface is. I bet the vast majority of people had no idea that the land of Colorado was once south of the equator. I didn't know that the area was mostly flat "only" 18 million years ago. I had always assumed that the mountains were revealed and generally shaped 60 million years ago when the rock formed and uplifted. Colorado's climate started warming 20,000 years ago at the peak of the most recent glacial period. I enjoy hiking and climbing all around the state. I'm always looking at the rock and amazing geomorphology of the landscape.
Every aspect of this presentation is a class act! I lived in Colorado for ten years and I learned much more from this presentation than I did when I lived there. Thank you, keep up your good work.
I am in gratitude and respect for the people who have made this video. The way it is laid out to show where the cities are all along the time line , the geological movement in respect to now and the million year ticker on the side ... excellent. .. will share this to many. 😊
I live in a small town surrounded by giant mountains in co and I swear some days when everything is going wrong... I just look at them, breath deep and everything feel right again. They are so unbelievably beautiful it feels like taking a drug, it's a really comfortable protected feeling.
I have no words to describe this breath-taking, stuningly beautiful video. From the tectonic history of the area to the level of detail in the graphics and the voice over. This video sets a new standard for any self-respecting institution when it comes to describing the geological history of any region they wish to study. This must be the first time I get genuinely emotional watching this kind of documentary. Thank you so much for the upload and my utmost respect, admiration and gratitude for the people involved in the creation of this video (including the past and present generations of geoscientists that gathered the data that made this possible).
It take a certain amount of maturity to appreciate the amount of work that goes into this kind of production. But don't worry along will come an ignorant democrat voting millennial and make a stupid comment about how bad or wrong it is. Because the dumb ignorant uneducated stupid millennial is trying its best to look smart by down talking everything it comes across. Democrats will ruin Colorado in less than 50 years. Colorado will be just like California very soon.
Have been a visitor to Colorado since I was a kid and always marveled at the geology and topography. This was outstanding in giving a brief history of forces and change to what is seen today. Great work folks!!
Wow! THE best geology video I've ever seen. Incredibly comprehensive, extending far beyond Colorado. I'd love to see this creator expand their content.
That bit at the end there where the pattern left by the credits mirrored the different directions of the strata in the final shot . . . brilliant. Just brilliant.
This was SO informative, thank you!! Thinking about all of the discovery and innovation that went in to understanding all of this is mind boggling and incredible!
that was such a good documentary. Easily followed, lots of extra details, like the moving geologic timeline, great pictures and names of places I wrote down. thanks
This the finest geographic history of Colorado ever !!! I’ve vacationed and explored Colorado for nearly 50 yrs. I’ve been to nearly every National Park. As a Kansan this my get away state for recreation; skiing, hiking and just plain sight seeing. Oh and I want to thank Colorado for all the dirt provided.
I’m trying to plan a trip so see national parks. I am based in Colorado and will be traveling by car. Which national parks were your favorite? We recently got back from moab and dead horse national park and it was all breathtaking. I had never seen desert like that before.
I was just about to start working/being productive and TH-cam threw this at me. The temptation. Powerless and ashamed i clicked and began watching. You got me again! Seriously though, great video.
Really freakin' cool to see the timeline of geological history for my home area in such a comprehensive format- Thank you to all involved in this video's creation. Will watch this several times.
❗🤔❗ Well, let me offer up a more realistic, "alternate" timeline: Approx 6,000 years ago, on a Wednesday, God wished the Earth into existence. That next Saturday, he took a rib from Adam and created Eve. For the first few hundred years, it was just Adam, Eve, and dinosaurs roaming the land. Then God got angry, and all the dinosaurs died during the great flood. But Noah saved ALL of the hundreds of thousands of other living creatures on his ark. 👉 Then, when there was but 1 giant continent called "Pangaea", Jesus and the Israelites moved from Israel to Utah. They walked because buses hadn't been invented yet. Then Columbus discovered America(again... Jesus had already been here, remember)! Joseph Smith later learned about Jesus already having lived in America, when the angels showed him the golden plates, which he used to write the book of Mormon. Oh, I forgot to talk about all that geological stuff. Well, it was all created during the 40 days and 40 nights of flooding created by God's angry wrath, when Noah saved all the animals but decided not to save ANY dinosaurs(because he was worried they'd eat all the other animals on the ark). Doesn't that seem like a more more logical explanation? Any questions? 😁
Thank you for an extremely entertaining and informative video. Now I understand the history behind all the world class scenery from our national park trip.
Outstanding! I never realized that mountains weren't simply pushed out of the ground... I had always assumed that's what plate tectonics was saying, that one plate pushes rocks up and that's how we get mountains... I never realized that it pushed up relatively flat ground and then water carved out the mountains we see now. I've lived in Colorado all my life... I've visited all those parks... I saw Metallica at Red Rocks on my 16th birthday... this was sooo fascinating, nostalgic, informative... and just outstanding.
When I took college geology in 1964 they were still working on plate tectonics, in fact I wrote a short paper on isostaic disequilibrium, the early interpretation. Amazing they can figure out the details examined here.
Being a colorado Native, I knew part of it had once been submerged by an inland sea, but that it was an island, an equatorial rainforest, deserts, sea floor, had glaciers and been underwater almost as long as it's been above water, that's amazing! Just to hear the phrase "Colorado's East Coast" is mind boggling... I wonder what other places have had so many different geological ups and downs and have turned out so beautiful for us to witness today.
Yes, all land was submerged during the great flood. It's amazing how videos like this, although misleading in the areas of how things were formed, it does confirm a lot of the Bible's teachings.
@@raydavis108 - amazing how gullible you people are. Do you realize that there are hundreds of billions of stars in the milky way galaxy (where we live, in case you didn't know it), and now due to the Hubble telescope, we also know that there are hundreds of billions of other galaxies in the universe? And you think that the humans that occupy the earth are significant? Get over yourselves.
@@terryrust4973 Amazing you believe all that although you have zero physical evidence from which to make such claims. You believe the Hubble telescope is where you are told it is and it sees what you are told it sees. I do not know one way or the other what is true and what is not yet you are totally confident everything they tell you is 100% true. On various parts of earth you cannot use a cell phone for communications yet you believe Billions of miles into space Hubble can send back signals we can pick up crystal clearly. And you say those who believe the bible are gullible. Maybe they are but you are even more gullible for believing the photo of earth from voyager1 taken how many millions of miles from earth yet it never took a picture of earth any closer. And what did it show? 1 pixel on a huge background with an arrow saying " We are here". And you believe such rubbish.
@@raydavis108the flood of the Bible has not been documented by geology (There is no geologic evidence of a global flood during the time man has been on earth).
My goodness, I am 63 years old, and when i was, oh maybe 22 or 23 i lived in Leadville and worked at Climax Mine. WoW From what i have seen on the pictures of the town, Man has it changed. After the mine i worked at Taber restaurant washing dishes. I don`t know if the Side Door is still there, i worked there as well. Had some really good times in that town. some or i should say most i will always remember,,,,,,,,
Starting BEFORE pangea, this geological history of Colorado fascinates with great maps, excellent research and consistent attention to detail by knowledgeable scientist/geologists.

On a recent tour around Colorado I was fascinated by the variety of rock formations and beauty of the landscapes. Thanks for the clear explanation of how these came into existence by way of excellent graphics and animations.
The history channel should make a video like this for every state and countries too. This is a real improvement on the whole do it in your imagination that I learned with.
Grew up in Basalt ( AKA Ute Junction As to Aspen was first known as Ute city ) Gramps was one of Colorados' first wild life officers , Showed me many places, From east to west & North and south... Been to all of these places and all are even more awsome in person ! I still have places I would like to go here in Colorado !
I since have move to southern Colorado.. wouldn't live any other place ... too many people have taken over that valley ... I was very fortunate growing up there , Give my reguards to the Hot Springs... Our Mom MADE us kids take swim lessons there , Because she was deathly afraid of the water , and she did not know how to swim... 50 years later .... still swimming ... and going to ) other ... smaller ... more relaxed ..hot springs ... Swim on Sage :)
Wonderful visualization of geological processes and their embedding into the plate tectonics. Really shows how mountain ranges that to us human observers seem eternal in fact are built up and eroded away when given enough time. Thanks from Germany for this video.

The epidemic left me without a job, but with time to watch documentaries like this! I agree with others that the background music is not distracting, grateful for that, and the graphics are super. This video is nicely paced, informative, and I really appreciate the work that went into creating it. I'll watch it again and try and absorb more of the interesting info here!
As a third generation native this had me hanging on every word. It is now saved and will be shared with family right after this comment. Love Colorado history and learned a lot from this. My father would have loved this! My grandfather, his dad, was a surveyer in the state for the National Geological Society. I remember backpacking in and camping on Gore Creek without seeing anyone outside our party for a full week. The one drawback to the beauty, everyone who sees it wants to stay. Can't blame them though. I live on the front range again but also spent many years on the eastern plains. I would have liked to seen more about that also.
I thank you.i had made it thru Walsenburg,Gardner,San Isabel,Lake Guffy,7 waterfalls,Idaho Springs,Central City,Monte Vista,Pueblo,so so many wonderful places.i heard Pikes Peak has no snow yr round anymore,wanted to cry.kat,ct

Scott T I’ve grown up in Glenwood Springs. Couldn’t have asked for a better area to live.
I since have move to southern Colorado.. wouldn't live any other place ... too many people have taken over that valley ... I was very fortunate growing up there , Give my reguards to the Hot Springs... Our Mom MADE us kids take swim lessons there , Because she was deathly afraid of the water , and she did not know how to swim... 50 years later .... still swimming ... and going to ) other ... smaller ... more relaxed ..hot springs ... Swim on Sage :)
Great video and presentation! Perfect for us recent residents with geology backgrounds.
This deserves an Oskar for best geology documentary and education.
It's disinfo
Wonderful visualization of geological processes and their embedding into the plate tectonics. Really shows how mountain ranges that to us human observers seem eternal in fact are built up and eroded away when given enough time.
Thanks from Germany for this video.
Incredibly beautiful portrayal of Colorado's geologic history.
Nice to see the place I grew up--near Morrison--explained and given its day in the sun. Wish my dad and grandad could have watched this.
This is how you make a geology history video. this must have taken so much time! I would love to see others.
another more believable perspective of the geologic evolution of Colorado and the world th-cam.com/video/fFrLkNrATGA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/NovvYzzOI70/w-d-xo.html
"this must have taken so much time! "
I see what you did there.
With oil company propaganda? Isn’t it suspicious how positive they were in the video about oil?
@@technusking If it's that obvious, it's not suspicious, by definition.
@@srats56 Oh!!!! Right!!!! GIGANTIC TREES!!! And all scientists are deluded. That explains everything!!!! Thank you. Now I'm woke!
The epidemic left me without a job, but with time to watch documentaries like this! I agree with others that the background music is not distracting, grateful for that, and the graphics are super. This video is nicely paced, informative, and I really appreciate the work that went into creating it. I'll watch it again and try and absorb more of the interesting info here!
I live in Mexico right now I’ve always wanted to move to move to Colorado it’s so pretty 🥺
You certainly knocked this one out of the park! Awesome presentation. Thank You.
Excellent graphics and clear explanation of amazing geo-history, thanks, I learned something today
This is very well presented, outstanding.
Magnificent job in describing historical geology! Bravo!
Awesome compilation. Makes you feel tiny and so wise at the same time.
Wow. Excellent work. We can all easily see so much more now in the landscape of Colorado just from one well done 24 minute video. Thank you!
I grew up climbing all over South Table Mountain. So cool to see & learn about its history.
As a third generation native this had me hanging on every word. It is now saved and will be shared with family right after this comment. Love Colorado history and learned a lot from this. My father would have loved this! My grandfather, his dad, was a surveyer in the state for the National Geological Society. I remember backpacking in and camping on Gore Creek without seeing anyone outside our party for a full week. The one drawback to the beauty, everyone who sees it wants to stay. Can't blame them though. I live on the front range again but also spent many years on the eastern plains. I would have liked to seen more about that also.
I thank you.i had made it thru Walsenburg,Gardner,San Isabel,Lake Guffy,7 waterfalls,Idaho Springs,Central City,Monte Vista,Pueblo,so so many wonderful places.i heard Pikes Peak has no snow yr round anymore,wanted to cry.kat,ct
So good. I wish more documentaries were like this. They are too slick with nearly non stop dramatic music.
Look at who funded the video. You will understand why it was “so good”
Dayum! Last year I took an undergrad class on the but it wasn’t nearly as thorough, concise, or informative as this 25 minute video.
Worth every second of my time in this Colorado history. Thank you.
That was the most fascinating video! I learned so much. Even the end credits were brilliant! Thank you!
Brilliant production! As a longtime developer of collegiate Geology texts (Tarbuck, Hamblin, Skinner, etc.), I deeply appreciate the power of this production as a teaching tool. Bravo!!
"teaching" more b.s. for indoctrination?
This was one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam in a while. Great education about the State I live in. I loved it.
Great doc. Missing closed captions however
Terrific production. Thanks very much.
Stunningly brilliant piece of work. A benchmark moment in education. Nice touch, the credits being laid down in strata, complete with periodic seas.
Fantastic. Really opens your eyes. Great job.
Extremely informative and well-produced.
beautifully and technically produced great use of applications, music, geological history and presented in an interesting and informative way.
