Just as an idea, you might follow up with the very spiffy physics and engineering that let us establish the velocity of convection currents in the mantle using seismographic equipment. As long as I'm bothering Henry about it, I may as well bother you, too. Loving your most recent material!
That does nothing to explain the more than 100 million cubic miles of consecutive layers of water deposited sediments over a mile deep around the world that buried samples of everything that was living on earth at the time. You people are fed a bunch of garbage and you eat it up.
You kind of made it seem as if the ocean crust dives under continental crust because continental crust is thicker. It would have been nice to hear that the ocean crust is far denser, and when it pushes up against continental crust, the denser material is forced under. Nitpicking point, and a great video overall.
He didn't really comment on it so I doubt many people even thought about it (myself included ;) ). I think it's just a relevant thing that could have been said but it probably didn't mislead anyone.
Too add as well, usually you'd find more volatile volcanic activity at these subduction zones due to the crust displacing magma and forcing it upwards to eventually for composite volcanoes.
Eemeli Bergström you wouldnt notice, this would happen over 250 million years not a day. the map printers would simply move how the map looks by like 1 cm every million years or something of the sort
I heard that super-continents are actually bad news for life. Seas and oceans act as climate moderators, so we experience moderate climate. Super continents on the other hand will bring in extreme weather (i.e. extremely cold winters and scorching hot summers). But this is stock knowledge, so I'm not so sure. :/
I really love how you explained all of this :) and the drawing/animation is really creative xD! (like how the plate tectonics are "moving itself") I really hope your channels get alot of supports and subscribers!
this changed my life, when i watched it on full volume i didnt hear my dad screaming in the other room if i wasnt watching this he could still be alive :_:
I did not expect to learn something new here as I thought I had a pretty solid handle on how this all worked. I was (as is often the case with videos produced by Henry Reich) wrong. You should watch this, I'm sure you'll learn SOMETHING
Man, I searched about this in about 3~ 4 books, It was all getting over my head. I couldn't understand that if tectonic plates moves then how the hell continents can merge and devide, But a simple example of conveyer belt solved it all in second ❤️ thanks a lot
The thinner plate doesn't sink. it's the denser plate that sinks. The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust and that is why we see trenches only underwater.
I spent too much of my life understanding the process, but unable to visualize. Thank you! This knowledge feels much more grounded in reality now. (No pun intended)
This is just an average of all movement. But if it really moves, it moves really fast. In some worst cases many metres in a split second. This is what we call earthquake.
Can you please please do about tectonic boundaries, an example of where they can be found in the world and what land formations and events can be found there? Love your videos ^_^
I literally just learned about this in school and already took extensive notes on it and only missed one question on a 30 or so question test, but I want to write really fancy aesthetic notes on the topic because I'm bored, so I'm watching this to do it because I don't have my binder with all of my papers and stuff in it
This is a really really well explained video, thank you so much!! the way you described the mechanics of how it all works is the best that I have ever heard.
Fun Fact: The oil that we drill out of the ground is actually what causes the tectonic plates to move smoothly otherwise there would be too much friction and the plates would not move.
*This is completely false.* Plate tectonics are a secondary effect of expert teams of geologists going into the mantle using nuclear powered trains made out of a material that converts heat energy into structural strength, headed by a laser/vibration generator that will liquefy and blast away rock in front of the train. Once the train is deep enough, a series of thermonuclear bombs are released and timed precisely as to cause a massive wave that keeps the core spinning at precisely the right speed. Please next time don't spread ignorance around, every serious geologist knows this. In fact its even hidden in most books about this: "most of the energy in the earth's core is generated through nuclear fission". Next time do your research and do it right.
Jacob Furrow Well really for a Hollywood movie it had a good bit of physics, I mean the fundamental idea of generating a spin flow of the core with precisely timed warheads isn't completely out of town if you believe in the current most widely accepted theory on the nature of the earth's inner structure which is sadly taught as a fact while really it's just a theory much like a lot of other things in today's scientific community. I watched the movie when I was about 12 or 13 and haven't watched it since so I can't tell you for the corniness, but at least its a good Hollywood movie for children interested in science. I just found a really good movie on youtube by the way on crime and gangs, its quite beautiful, sort of like American history X for black gangs (which if you haven't watched, you should, it will really move you), just type South Central 1992 HD 1080P FULL on youtube, and give feedback if you do check it out.
super job. A bit fast, but really liked it. I will show this to my 7th grade science students. :) My favorite part was the crust breaking off.. and the suction.. and the continents ARE baggage. Do more!
shist thats gneis Geologists yay! I just like to mention, cause its easily misunderstood when talking about "flowing" plates etc. The mantel is not liquid, only the outer core is liquid, the rest is solid. Tho every medium has some viscosity to it wich makes the "flow" possible.
Yes, once the dinosaurs died out and stopped pooping into volcano craters, there wasn't enough matter being deposited to sustain the earth-swelling process. But TH-cam comments may be a promising new source of shit.
Was looking for a video about tectonics. Didnt find anyone especially good... except for this one! Very pedagogic, awesome. I only wish it was longer. :) Cheers!
Great video!!!!! I am in school and learning science, I am definitely going to start watching these. Very cute and helpful!!!!! 💖🥰 Grabs my attention very well.
The Lower 48 U.S. States are not considered by most a continent. However some definitions do agree that Australia is a continent of which I disagree. But overall a great video!
I haven’t paid attention in science class for the past month (the teacher is boring and I’m sitting next to my best friend). I now know practically everything I missed from a two minute video.
two points: 1. oceanic crust (basaltic) goes under the continental crust (granitic) because it's denser, not because it's thinner. 2. Google Earth is either upside down according to its rotational direction OR it's spinning in the wrong direction if the orientation of its axis was intentionally placed with the South Pole in the "up" position.
Great video! Very cute drawing. I wish you made this video in my freshman year taking intro to geology. I would've appreciated the subject more. And also I would've loved it if you added something more about how converging plates can create mountains and volcanoes, and how diverging plates create new crust material on the ocean floor. Other than that this video is awesomely cute.
I'm writing an essay about this so thanks for the video P.S. I'm not plagiarising like the odd one out I just needed some idea on what they were again thanks
Studying for an exam using old tests, one of the questions was about plate boundaries. Hilariously, I tried to remember 8th grade science before trying to remember freshman year geology. Still, this was a nice refresher.
thanks for teaching me something in 2 minutes my teacher took 2 weeks to teach
This is so true it's funny.
👍
Lmao
Tooo truu
ya and he explained it better
A Wilk lol true
Great video! I definitely learned something here.
Just as an idea, you might follow up with the very spiffy physics and engineering that let us establish the velocity of convection currents in the mantle using seismographic equipment. As long as I'm bothering Henry about it, I may as well bother you, too.
Loving your most recent material!
So the mantle is like a lava lamp. Hmmm....
That does nothing to explain the more than 100 million cubic miles of consecutive layers of water deposited sediments over a mile deep around the world that buried samples of everything that was living on earth at the time. You people are fed a bunch of garbage and you eat it up.
Jungle Jargon Was this meant to explain that? The composition of the crust seems a little beside the point here.
Elliott Collins Yes, plate tectonics is used to try to explain away the evidence of the global flood and that argument fails miserably.
As a geologist, I approve of this very correct piece of information.
As an anthropologist who studies specifically geologists, i can confirm
As a physicist and a nuclear chemist I can confirm
***** liar
Shaibah Tito1337 Light Yagami
Not quite sure if I like where this is going...
***** As a professional joker i can confirm
You kind of made it seem as if the ocean crust dives under continental crust because continental crust is thicker. It would have been nice to hear that the ocean crust is far denser, and when it pushes up against continental crust, the denser material is forced under.
Nitpicking point, and a great video overall.

Gravity, not gravy
yeah, only mistake I caught (which makes a nice change for video on internet about geology).
he_who_is_nobody
the real question is, how long till the next pangea
***** Wow found that really interesting, thanks
Eemeli Bergström you wouldnt notice, this would happen over 250 million years not a day. the map printers would simply move how the map looks by like 1 cm every million years or something of the sort
Next Monday. I'll let you know when my earthquake doomsday device is ready.
I heard that super-continents are actually bad news for life. Seas and oceans act as climate moderators, so we experience moderate climate. Super continents on the other hand will bring in extreme weather (i.e. extremely cold winters and scorching hot summers). But this is stock knowledge, so I'm not so sure. :/
space would implode before that happens.
Fun fact: The velocity of a chain sliding off a table is a hyperbolic sine function :)
Your little knowledge snippets are great at making something one already kind of knows much clearer.
okay, so we use satellites to work out the speed on the plates, how do we calculate the mantle's speed?
This is done via seismology.
v=s/t
so we get the speed of the mantle from slight vibrations in the crust? Or am I missing the nail here?
derLPMaxe - Generischer Name, Generischer Kanal. Much explanation, wow
kedwardsTWO v (speed) equals s (length) devided by t (time).
I really love how you explained all of this :)
and the drawing/animation is really creative xD!
(like how the plate tectonics are "moving itself")
I really hope your channels get alot of supports and subscribers!
We spent 2 weeks on this in school. This 2 minute video has made me learn more than those 2 weeks ever did.
oooh..... so thats why i didnt pass geography. youre a better teacher than my teacher.
this changed my life, when i watched it on full volume i didnt hear my dad screaming in the other room if i wasnt watching this he could still be alive :_:
A whole month of my geography classes explained in 2 minutes, damn!
geographgdsioy is fake you mouth breather
@Maxwell Sherman no badd
I did not expect to learn something new here as I thought I had a pretty solid handle on how this all worked. I was (as is often the case with videos produced by Henry Reich) wrong. You should watch this, I'm sure you'll learn SOMETHING
and this, my friends, is what I call “studying for a quiz”
Man, I searched about this in about 3~ 4 books, It was all getting over my head. I couldn't understand that if tectonic plates moves then how the hell continents can merge and devide, But a simple example of conveyer belt solved it all in second ❤️ thanks a lot
I’m using this vid for a science report but I’m home schooled:)
I can’t belive that you have translated this videos in arabic, we need that , thank you so much
i learnt more by watching this video than what my teacher taught in 3 lessons XD
same
Botdfandbfmv Fan You must have a terrible English teacher as well with that spelling.
Yeah agreed Music dork
Thought I was gonna bomb a quiz before this thanks boo 💓💓
Edit: um I watched this 87 times 😂😂
Not me being here because the link on my school’s assignment doesn’t work so I had to search it up 👁👄👁
great video
How did no one see this
Oh u play pubg?
@@rnbwgamer9595 yes
...
I'm going to fail that Geography test tomorrow.
How did your test go?
Rien B. Bad... Got one of the worst results in the class...
le tiggo lol
le tiggo I got a 96
Lmfao R.I.P
We were learning plate tectonics in class and I remembered this and sent it to her. She said that she loved the explanation
You know what is the weirdest feeling? When you watch a video in school, then watch it at home. That is what I did with this.
I literally can't even begin to explain how much I love these videos
The thinner plate doesn't sink. it's the denser plate that sinks. The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust and that is why we see trenches only underwater.
I spent too much of my life understanding the process, but unable to visualize.
Thank you! This knowledge feels much more grounded in reality now. (No pun intended)
10cm per year? Is it me, or is that really fucking fast?
Well, human hair grows at about 15cm/year, so it's kinda fast relative to some stuff, but still slow relative to other stuff.
But for the movement of the face of the earth.... fast!
This is just an average of all movement. But if it really moves, it moves really fast. In some worst cases many metres in a split second. This is what we call earthquake.
Compared to how fast Iceland gets wider (about 2 cm a year), it's fast.
it's faster than my internet. took me fifteen minutes to watch this video. thanks obama
Can you please please do about tectonic boundaries, an example of where they can be found in the world and what land formations and events can be found there? Love your videos ^_^
Could I get my foot stuck in that crease if I tried?
You'd need a diving suit and some time to waste as it would take a while and you'd be miles/kilometers below the ocean.
no becuas ut not realy
If you were immortal yes because you would be miles beneath the ocean and the pressure would make you implode.
I literally just learned about this in school and already took extensive notes on it and only missed one question on a 30 or so question test, but I want to write really fancy aesthetic notes on the topic because I'm bored, so I'm watching this to do it because I don't have my binder with all of my papers and stuff in it
Finally. It's about damn time my country became a whole continent.
What country?
This is a really really well explained video, thank you so much!! the way you described the mechanics of how it all works is the best that I have ever heard.
Tell me Im not the only one doing this for one of those stupid online lab thingsn in science class ._.
Thanks @MinuteEarth, helped me out on some last minute geography revision
What happened to stop motion marker animation? Cool video nonetheless.
The continents are baggage. Classic! Love it. And great job of explaining slab pull. It’s something I wish was taught much earlier in school science.
0:15 what is this drawing of south America dude. Sorry but I had to point it out
Fun Fact: The oil that we drill out of the ground is actually what causes the tectonic plates to move smoothly otherwise there would be too much friction and the plates would not move.
I guarantee you there are no oil slicks between plates.
Fun fact: The moon does indeed have the texture of cheese.
I don’t understand a thing he said
real
facts
Yeah
He's trying to summarise everything and not explain so ya, this is useful for people who learnt the topic long ago
It means your dumb cant understand science
This should be enough studying for my test tomorrow. Wish me luck!

is it uh. the illuminati?
That's the plot to the movie The Core
Nick Hernandez See ! There is even a hollywood movie about it !
Adrien Perié And it's a cruddy one with no physics!
Jacob Furrow Well really for a Hollywood movie it had a good bit of physics, I mean the fundamental idea of generating a spin flow of the core with precisely timed warheads isn't completely out of town if you believe in the current most widely accepted theory on the nature of the earth's inner structure which is sadly taught as a fact while really it's just a theory much like a lot of other things in today's scientific community.

I just found a really good movie on youtube by the way on crime and gangs, its quite beautiful, sort of like American history X for black gangs (which if you haven't watched, you should, it will really move you), just type South Central 1992 HD 1080P FULL on youtube, and give feedback if you do check it out.
i failed a test in earth science and it was on this. my recovery is tomorrow and this saved my life man
Thx
My teacher would have taken 3 weeks just to explain that
And I’m in a honors class
bro i learned nothing from this i just drifted off in space while the video played and i do not want to watch it again lol.
That was one of the cutest little videos I've ever watched. I definitely understand plate tectonics now
Anyone here for a school assignment?
Yeh all tho im 3 years late 🤣
Really informative! Thank you for putting this simple but very educational video together.
can you be my new teacher please, i dont want the one i have. please give me a refund fast
super job. A bit fast, but really liked it. I will show this to my 7th grade science students. :) My favorite part was the crust breaking off.. and the suction.. and the continents ARE baggage. Do more!
shist thats gneis Geologists yay! I just like to mention, cause its easily misunderstood when talking about "flowing" plates etc. The mantel is not liquid, only the outer core is liquid, the rest is solid. Tho every medium has some viscosity to it wich makes the "flow" possible.
Should be saying fluid, if anything.
In a nutshell in plain English! Great video! It clarifies it and gets right to the point.
1:10 laughed my ass off
Wow! This video did a amazing job 2xplaining tectonic plates! Thanks minute earth!!!!!
The earth grew in the past, plate tectonics is the same as flat earth theory, incorrect.
Yes, once the dinosaurs died out and stopped pooping into volcano craters, there wasn't enough matter being deposited to sustain the earth-swelling process. But TH-cam comments may be a promising new source of shit.
idk if the music has been the same in some other videos but i really enjoyed the music in this one! :)
Meh, the USA is not a continent. It was a good video though - as it is anytime on this channel.
Had to look pretty closely to find where this was implied. Nicely spotted :D
Yes!
***** One thing is sure. Continents are about large land masses. And the US is a country, a political formation not a topographical.
***** Australia is a country which owns most of the area of the main land mass (continent) Australia. It sounds weird, but it's like that!
Neither is a lava lamp, why aren't you complaining about that?
I really appreciate what you're doing. Please keep the videos coming.
Who’s here for science homework 📚!! 🙄📚😆😫😭
The opposite Sisters me 😪
I understood this better than my teacher’s lecture, thank you so much!
All BS. God moves the continents, and by the way, the earth is flat.
No.
Aliens did it
Look their minute physic and vsauce's video
No, the surface of the Earth is actually on the inside of a sphere. You can use a telescope to spy on the other side of the world from above.
But is it a flat square or a flat circle?
And we are the center of the universe
Was looking for a video about tectonics. Didnt find anyone especially good... except for this one! Very pedagogic, awesome. I only wish it was longer. :) Cheers!
i dont like it becuz he talk to fast :(
there's a speed changer
You're right. I slowed down the speed and had talk almost like a drunk.
Just showed my students this! (year 6) They've learnt a lot!!
This was pretty cracked, Tectonics are top tier. would smash
my geography test is tmr and this really helped me :)
This was more than I knew about plate tectonics. Thanks for the video!
thank you, i understand what plate tectonics are now thanks to you
Just did this in class today and makes much more sense now!!! Thank you !!
warms my heart when i see this video i watch it all day and it feels nice
Great video!!!!! I am in school and learning science, I am definitely going to start watching these. Very cute and helpful!!!!! 💖🥰 Grabs my attention very well.
The Lower 48 U.S. States are not considered by most a continent. However some definitions do agree that Australia is a continent of which I disagree. But overall a great video!
I haven’t paid attention in science class for the past month (the teacher is boring and I’m sitting next to my best friend). I now know practically everything I missed from a two minute video.
That tectonic plate moving itself with their little arms made me laugh so hard idk why it was just too cute.
two points: 1. oceanic crust (basaltic) goes under the continental crust (granitic) because it's denser, not because it's thinner. 2. Google Earth is either upside down according to its rotational direction OR it's spinning in the wrong direction if the orientation of its axis was intentionally placed with the South Pole in the "up" position.
Thanks for helping me with my research prgect -P.S. I was sopposed to go on youtube
This video got me an A+ on my science test
THANKS FOR THE GRADE
this is my work for school
Thank you for teaching me something in 2 minutes I've been learning about for a month and will still continue to learn about it ._.
These videos tend to be great because they typically can hold everyone's attention spans' whether very good or very bad; unlike school.
You explain it so simply, thanks.
Can i ask what's the difference of plate tectonics and plate boundaries? I thought this was plate boundaries?
Ariana plate boundaries are where plate tectonics meet😊
Thank you so much i have a school project and this really helped on it.
This video is from 2015 and Im here from 2020 watching this for class
Great video! Very cute drawing. I wish you made this video in my freshman year taking intro to geology. I would've appreciated the subject more. And also I would've loved it if you added something more about how converging plates can create mountains and volcanoes, and how diverging plates create new crust material on the ocean floor. Other than that this video is awesomely cute.
shut ur mouth
Ayyy, this was gr8! I loved the conveyor belt analogy. "We are the baggage" just lol
Lupet
Plain and simple. Love it.
Look forward to this every time, beautiful, informative and entertaining, please keep it up.
I LOVE IT WHEN I LEARN MORE FROM THESE VIDEOS THAN I LEARNT AT SCHOOL THAT DAY XD
That's so cool!
There's a lot of interesting information here to build what we already know (or think we know) about tectonic plates!
Very helpful and fun
I'm writing an essay about this so thanks for the video
P.S. I'm not plagiarising like the odd one out I just needed some idea on what they were
again thanks
Great video! I learned a lot 🥶
Nothing like a dose of sweet sweet science to go with my coffee in the morning.
Monday left me broken
Tuesday, I was through with hoping
Wednesday, my empty arms were open
Thursday, waiting for love, waiting for love
Great video!!! Helped me on my geology exam!
My teacher showed us this channel now I am addicted.
Great video! I felt like I understood 65% but thanks. No pun intended
Studying for an exam using old tests, one of the questions was about plate boundaries. Hilariously, I tried to remember 8th grade science before trying to remember freshman year geology. Still, this was a nice refresher.
Great video. Also, loved the end music. It was kinda relaxing. Very nice. :)
