I like to think that if another civilization were to view the Earth much like we viewed Mars or other planets for significant geological formations or interesting features, the Grand Canyon would stick out as something that they would choose to send a probe to. We are so used to the Grand Canyon as a common "feature" or Park, that we don't realize how crazy and significant this thing really is!

Great video! This is one of my favorite topics to learn about! I remember back in July of 2021 on our way back from Glacier and Grand Teton we drove through a canyon in South Dakota with rocks from the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian periods and it was awe inspiring to be just 10 feet away from rocks formed over 300 million years old! It really goes to show, along with the geologic calendar, just how short of a time we've been on this planet and just how important it is to protect and preserve it for future generations to enjoy! I haven't been to Grand Canyon in a while but I'd love to go back some day just to really spend some time there to take it all in! i know you like to visit the parks you do your videos on and if you ever find yourself in that area again, one of the things I had planned for my trip out there before I broke my leg was to kayak in the canyon a few miles upstream of the actual park at a place called Horseshoe Bend. You get to campout in a tent on the banks of the Colorado River in designated areas obviously but it sounded like an awesome experience!

Geology has progressed so far since the late 1970s - when I learned of those 'new' Precambrian subdivisions.

Dr. John Whitmore and associates have thoroughly, completely, debunked any notion that the Coconino Sandstone was a desert sand formation. It was marine. It has particles in the grains that can't survive any amount of time in a windblown sand movement but do survive fine in marine sand, its grain sorting and shapes are consistent with marine deposition, its crossbed angles are consistent with marine, not desert, formation, it has dolomite which only forms in marine environments, the preserved animal trackways are too well defined for dry sand, it has types of folds in it that are not known to occur in desert sand formations but do form in marine sand formations. The notion that it formed as a dry formation is just over. It was just assumed without taking a close look and the detailed work to understand it was never done before Dr. Whitmore started with it.

Learning to read a book is an apt way to describe learning to understand geological history. Throughout history, countless groups of geologists and kin have debated - sometimes hotly - about how certain formations came to be. Then, as we managed to put more puzzle pieces together, we began to see and understand how these formations are literally the history of our planet. Sure, much of this history is gone, vanished into the fiery bowels of the Earth courtesy of plate tectonics, but so much of it is visible today, ready for us to open its pages and read what is there. The Grand Canyon is not the only example of such prime geological reading spots, but it is definitely among the most accessible. As you mentioned, when you stand on top of the youngest layer at the Grand Canyon and literally gaze down into the depths of Earth's history, it's hard to think of a way to leave a more lasting impression. So no, geology isn't just 'looking at rocks' :)

Thank you for that information. I own a tour company in Sedona, but have done many Grand Canyon tours in the past. I learn more all the time.

That layer seems to cap off the plateau and rim country around the Flagstaff/Sedona area, but not sure how far north it extends, or if it affects any part of the Grand Canyon region. Does that chapter fit anywhere into the story of the Grand Canyon?

Those volcanic are quite young (4-8 million years old) and fairly localized. To my knowledge, they don't make it as far north as the grand canyon. I'm not sure if that's a depositional extent or an erosive one...given the age, I'm thinking the former.

They usually don't cross layers. _"Not sure where if you go outside but here in the desert the landscape changes drastically."_ That might be true if you are living in an area that specifically offers little resistance to wind erosion (like sanddunes). This isn't true for almost any other type of landscape. _"Each layer is completely flat for hundreds of miles."_ Don't know what you like to suggest with that but this is simply not true. The thickness of the different layers even varies within the Grand Canyon by magnitudes. The Bright Angel Shale is only 57 feet thick at places while elsewhere it has 450 feet thickness. Same for the Coconino Sandstone which varies between 60 and 600 feet thickness. BTW: Layers that have been deposited in a marine environment like a continental shelf sea can certainly stretch out for hundreds of miles. Why shouldn't that be possible within common geology? The Muav Limestone, the Redwall Limestone and the Kaibab Limestone were all deposited in such an environment. _"How is there no hills, valleys, canyons within canyons if it's a billion years?"_ There are. The Temple Butte Formation is exactly that - a paleovalley (look that term up in Wikipedia) that was cut into the underlying Muav Limestone. The Hermit Shale (another layer in the GC) as well as the Kaibab Limestone have lots of paleovalleys in it. (Edit: In Wikipedia it is called palaeochannel).

The time gaps can happen for multiple reasons, but the main ones are that the materials deposited in that period of time have later been eroded, and also because there could be no deposition at all, you need a source of sediment transport (for example rivers) and a accomodation space in order to accumulate sediment. For example, right now the grand canyon is being eroded by rivers, that gives us the privilige too see all the layers of the sedimentary basin. In many cases you can see in other places that the rocks you step on are 1 billion year old, and its because all of the rocks above it have been eroded.

You should the mirror image of the gaspe peninsula. Why?

A very dramatic presentation with beautiful pictures. At 4 min 13 sec we see Steno's laws. At many pictures we see the hundreds if not thousands of layers one on top of the other. How did all these layers occur so nicely horizontal 11,000 feet on top of each other all over the planet? Ancient knowledge from various sources tells us about a celestial body that causes disasters all over our planet. And that happens at long time intervals, although this are very small intervals for geologists.. That celestial body, a planet, has a very strong gravitational force when it is crossing the ecliptic plane of the other planets at a very high speed, close to our planet. That gravitational force pulls up water even above the highest mountains. When that gravity decreases the water falls back onto our planet mixed with sand, clay, lime, fossils of terrestrial and marine animals, shells and a deposit of dust and meteorites from the cloud that is surrounding that planet 9. A several feet thick mud layer remains. The confusing fact for geologists is that every layer contains organic matter from animals and vegetation that lived and grew at the time the layer was formed, but also very ancient deposition from the dust cloud that is surrounding planet 9. And this deposition must be the same age in each layer. Thanks to James Hutton and Charles Lyell, geologists took the wrong turn.

God's 'book of nature' remains closed to those who CANNOT read it aright...but only because The Best Book of all remains closed to those who WILL NOT read It at all.

I assume that with "the best book of all" you mean that book of religious myths, written by late bronze age peasants. No, you don't derive any scientific discoveries from this book. And certainly not any unfounded claims of a young earth if that's where you wanted to go.

@@elguapo2831 There are no 'kinds'. There are species. And we have ample evidence for the process of speciation. Which is a slow process and has nothing to do with the clueless ramblings of Creationists suggesting a dog giving birth to a cat. One example for which we have lots of fossils as evidence is the evolution of whales from a land mammal called Pakicetus, living about 50 million years ago. _"Like a dog into a cat."_ That won't happen. The common ancestor of dogs and cats lived about 60 million years ago. An example for a much shorter speciation process are today's dogs. Their ancestors were wolves and they lived only 30,000 years ago.

@@elguapo2831 Which exactly shows the problem Creationists have. Anything that is a bit more complicated than to be answered in a simple yes/no question goes right over their head. I'd say that's the disadvantage of being homeschooled. You only learn what your parents want you to learn. If science is not within their field of expertise or is even rejected due to their religious fundamentalism (unfortunately quite abundant among Creationists) then you will not be able to take part in a meaningful discussion about biology. Or any other scientific discipline, like geology for that matter.

Why are fossils only in some area's? Like only perfect conditions allow organizms to become fossils. If there is any truth to geologic time, Then many imaculent exotic deposts from upper jurrasic 'lower creataceus became exposed, for centuries, Then eroded. Because fresh sediment minerals, did not perculate fossil area. Third symposium on advanced crocodilian locomotion. Skin impresions are more bumby, leathery hided reptile related. NOT scale patterens that change into feathers. LMAO. Dinosaurs are CLOSELY related to REPTILES, end of story. Fin

I think you are off a billion years or so. No erosion between layers means the layers were layer down within a few years or less of each other. If they were layer down over billions of years we would see erosion between the layer. We don’t see that there so why tell people the billion years fantasy ?

Erosion leaves soft sediment. Layer after layer piles up over millions of years. Each layer stays soft until the weight pushes out the water and time (lots of time) turn the compacted minerals to stone (for sedimentary rock). Can you provide documentation that shows erosion isn't reflected in the geological layers?

So for the most part what I see is you really don't know
