Oh my goodness you help me so much on my science project because for over an hour I was trying to understand it but there was too much information. This helped me greatly THANK YOU!
This was one of the best overviews of east coast geology I've come across. Thank you for a beautiful and clear presentation. I live near Philadelphia and have been working on understanding the geology around me. ❤
Learning about the Geology of the US East Coast and the Appalachian Mountains is my passion! I cannot stop learning about it. I am so interested in plate tectonics. More specifically, the Wilson Cycle and how it shaped the Appalachian Mountains. I am fascinated how this same cycle of oceans closing, orogenic events, and subsequent rifting occurs over billions of years. I am very interested in the details of how convergent plate boundaries transition to rifting. And how a pristine ocean like the Atlantic, possibly forms subduction zones in the future to complete the Wilson cycle. I am also interested in why this cycle seems to repeat over and over again with the same land masses (generally speaking).
That first 2D diagram showing the different ways of thinking about the earth: chemical versus mechanical really clarifies a mystery about geology that I have always had. I have always seen both separately and have long wondered about how they matched up: your presentation clears it up immediately! Thank you. It’s always good to cover the basics.
GREAT OVERVIEW OF APPALACHIAN GEOLOGY! I'm relocating back to the southern blue ridge province (- just south of the NC/GA line). So I'm really excited to get out there to see those ancient mountains again! As a former park ranger in Yosemite, Yellowstone, and other western parks, learning the geology of the west was a wonderful bonus. Any suggestions about any other high quality presentations on this subject and other aspects of Appalachia will be greatly appreciated!
Minor question - I heard somewhere that Long Island Sound started as a river valley outlet from the ancestral Appalachians, if anyone has more on this.
I think it's a giant moraine, marking the maximum southern extent of the glacier. Till can flow out of any glacially suped-up river, but the melting glacier dumps these long bands of sediment called moraines.
That’s what I thought at first about Long Island but turns out it’s way too big and was there before the glaciers - the low hills running down Long Island are the actual Moraines from the glaciers.
@@johnwatson3948 Oh interesting! Glacial geology--ie., glaciers--are so fascinating! I've been walking around on my local drumlin swarm and loving it.

We need an animation showing every orogeny, accretion and rifting event to fully see it all. Maybe. Thanks for so much insight!
Something like the Christopher Scotese work? (for example, th-cam.com/video/bzvOMee9D1o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AFS3dyfO4i7DbwCq)
@@hertzer2000 shoot I just watched a good one the other night. Lemme see if I can find it for you.

Im going diwn the same rabbit hole the last few weeks .
Me too! So incredibly fascinating.

Thanks for a comprehensive history, from the piedmont region of South Carolina.
Very cool.
Great presentation. thx
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent presentation!
Very interesting, from Nova Scotia in the Avalonia Terrane
Very interesting from Cornwall (UK), also in the Avolonia Terrane!
enjoyed this!
Excellent! Thank you.

Google assistant recommended your video
Uuummm!!!

What do you mean by the word "ah"? You seem to use it quite often.
Man, your camera is tripping me out. It's as if the video was filmed by Robert Crumb.
