Have you watched Nick Zentner at central Washington University geology depth and his online lectures and field trips? Those geologists explain how much material has been added along the west coast from oceanic volcanic zones and also some from other continents .
The video identifies the Middle Teton as Mt. Moran starting around 34:37. It then shows the real Mt. Moran in the next slide. Both have an basalt dike running up their eastern aspect. Mt. Moran has Leigh Lake & Jackson Lake at its base. The Middle Teton is set back into Garnet Canyon.
The Tetons are a very young range. They have little to no foothills. Absolutely beautiful mountains, and very are very assessable. The valley, Jackson Hole, is just paradise as well. The Tetons were lifted up along a fault on the Wyoming side, creating a "hinge" on the west/Idaho side. On the other side of the fault, the valley fell. The valley has since mostly filled in. On the Idaho side of the Tetons, one can walk up to and stand on the hinge where the Tetons begin. Incredible.
Thanks, and glad you found it interesting! I haven't posted those other lectures publically. This is just one of many that I made for my Geology of the National Parks course that I teach.
So,the Grand Tetons have about the same vertical relief as the peaks at the Eastern end of the San Gabriel Mountains (Cucamonga pk,Ontario Pk) but far less than the Mt San Jacinto just West of Palm Springs or the Eastern Sierra Nevada. And the Grand Teton's are about twice the age San Gabriel Mountains just North of Los Angeles.
If the process was extension, how did the tetons rise to 13,700 feet? That block must have started at that height, then the eastward block dropped. Or did the western block become uplifted since 40Ma? Then the mountains are not left from extensional processes.
It would appear that the Western Block was dramatically uplifted, with the Eastern Block only moving up as the rest of the continent rose. Note the lack of some of the other older rocks on the Western side of the Tetons. The mountains ARE what is left of the extensional process... All the other rock has eroded away.
The other lectures are part of an online course that I teach at my university. Unfortunately, I don't plan on posting that entire content. I'm glad you found this one useful.

Thanks! I appreciate the correction.
Very helpful - great slides and explanations 👍👍 Thank you
Excellent overview of the geology of this remarkable park. Thank you!

Excellent presentation - love your details, tempo and voice. very understandable! thank you!
Fantastic lecture. Thank you very much!
Excellent generalized lecture. Thank you for taking the time and expending the effort to share this video.
Wonderful presentation by a teacher. There are a few minor inaccuracies, but that happens with professional presenters as well. Great job overall. A-
Hi Steve. Appreciate your comments. Can you let me know of the inaccuracies you mentioned? I'm always interested in improving my lectures.
Fantastic...... Thank you for this.
Very interesting. How I can view other lectures on Yellowstone, Hawaii and glacier national Park?
Thanks, and glad you found it interesting! I haven't posted those other lectures publically. This is just one of many that I made for my Geology of the National Parks course that I teach.
@@Kec103 can I ask where do you teach?
@@AnshumanGoel28 University of Kentucky
Exceptional class. Would like to see others posted if you have others on the geology of the National Parks.
I have a bunch of other lectures available, but you have to enroll in the class I teach at the University of Kentucky to get them all! :)

Well done.
Hey there Greg. Thought that picture looked familiar.

Thank you for posting this great video. I has very great information just the kind of things a amateur Geologist like me loves
Thanks for your kind comments! By the way, I removed the replies that were posted to yours, as they weren't very helpful.
I really enjoyed this! You mentioned other lectures, are they available somewhere in some capacity? I'd love to learn more!

PLEASE UPDATES MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
excellent!
You mention other lectures, but I don’t see them on your channel?

Really interesting....but I hope there’s not a quiz.... lol. Thank you! TJ
What about glacier water melting.
Can you be more specific?
Do you like The Grand teton national park
