Really appreciate these lectures, Sir. I'm basically teaching myself geology for fun since I've been interested in rocks and fossils since I was young (I've got several university level textbooks that I try - sometimes in vain - to understand) and these lectures really help to fill in the holes. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this video.I studied Structural Geology last year and ended up with a confused mine due to the poor teaching skills of my professor. But what you presented in this video was exciting and interesting and hooked me back to study Structural Geology once more. Thanks for this well presented and explained subject 👏🏼

Folds, faults, and joints are a tough subject for so many beginning students so I am thrilled that this approach seems to have worked out well. I am also working hard on getting it fully subtitled...a very tedious task but well worth getting done. Once that is completed, I'll be on to the next new video.

Late on my response as I was without internet for a spell. I have watched numerous dissertations on Geology as I believe it is clearly one of the most important awareness's we can retain. I watch a lot of Nick on the Rocks, and Randall Carlson, for the most part. I came across your work and it just clicked. I think you should make a video series between 3-4 videos, and market it to all educational facilities everywhere. It should be used as a standard curriculum across middle/high schools and colleges across the US, as well as other countries. If we are ever going to understand any other planet anywhere in the universe, then we must understand our own. It is by far, the most complex planet that we have acknowledged thus far, as it pertains to geology. If we understand our planet as thoroughly as possible, then we are clearly capable of understanding all others. It is such a fluke thing that we are here to begin with. Without our earth's tilt, the magnetic field, ozone layer, our oceans, plate tectonics, meteorite impacts, volcanism, as well as countless other factors, we would never have come into existence. We must realize this if we are going to continue to exist. We must eradicate narcissism, as nothing intervenes more with the progress of scientific awareness than that.

Wow! The examples you showed us with the explanations were just amazing, I have heard those terms before but with all the pictures and explanations i can visualize it now. This is the first of your videos I have watched I will subscribe so that i can see more of these lectures. Thank you so much, I am 78 years old and so appreciate this training.

When you’re 18 and you can see a barb wire fence tilting from the impacts of slope creep, and you can see which part of the hill side is stable and where it isn’t, that’s a 4 on the awesome scale. When you’re 35, and you get to drag bored kids around, you get to stop and look at examples of things you read about in a text book.

Nice Video! My family is getting into gem collecting in AZ . My understanding is that if you can find faults or fractures in the earth you might come across some gems. Any feedback would be helpful and thanks again for the informative video, it will take me a few weeks to best understand it, I wish there was more time in a day haha!

I understand, fracturing and faulting, something that is hard enough when pressure is put on it will break. But something that is hard and you put a lot of pressure on it, will not fold . Thats an implication that the material was not hard but soft at the time when the pressure was applied. I think I heard you say something like that very briefly?

It would be really great if you could show us the folding in real time. Would it be possible to replicate under lab conditions so it could easier to comprehend? Also wondering if there is any book's on how this occurs (photos, not diagrams &drawings) because this is truly fascinating. Thankyou for posting.

Long story there. lol I'll probably do a historical geology series that includes a full description of that situation.

If faults reactivate can they switch the type of fault they were or do they remain the same type of fault

Architect here. Unreinforced concrete can bend over time with loads lasting decades or more. Without even cracking. Just like rock. In structural engineering they call it creep or long term deflection. Geology often works in very long time frames of course and bending rock it turns out is easy given enough time and force, heat probably helps also.

Excellent lecture as always. Why does basalt form such ridged lines when it cools? I get that it is due to a contraction, but why is it nearly always around the same diameter of about a foot and vertical to such a large depth? If I'm not mistaken, this is the same phenomena that can be observed with soils containing a high clay content.

Yes, well done !! 😍😊😎🎶😃✨

This is a very good lecture with many inetesting pictures. It also shows the the earth layers are created perfectly horizontal.

tnx sir send ko to sa anak ko gusto maging geologist

folds are caused by magma dragging on the crust compressing it right?

Have you thinges for geo techniq and soil mechanik for sturctures safty?

If we write a geological history about folds faults and unconfirmity so which can i write . plz guide me

Apparently I can't read.... Since pressure is difficult to put on liquid or solids, the effect on the targeted material would be related to nature of that material. Heat would have more direct effect.

You should learn to map the geology in that region. There are lots of mineral resources there.

Very good talk of the typical explanation for those formations, but they are NOT the only possibilities - especially concerning anticline and synclines. They can also be caused by Mega-storms. In some of the examples used in this, the location of where cyclonic source updraft & downdraft can be identified. When it's tightly layered A & S forms, you are literally looking at the petrified hypersonic sawtooth shockwave pattern.
