Both the lakes region and Tyrolean Alps in Austria have incredibly similar peaks in multiple areas, though in a slightly smaller scale. I thought it was a pic from near Mont Blanc at first, but that dagger shape is too distinctive. I realize it was in Patagonia just from seeing other photos.

I wonder sometimes if the presence of sea creature fossils in mountains, due to the plates' advance seafloor winding up high up, led to ancient people devising flood stories. They couldn't know then that the bit of rock with the seashells at the top of the mountain used to be seafloor, so they figured the water used to come up that high so there must have been a big flood. It makes sense in my head, anyway :-)

I didn’t know I didn’t like the word Crustal until today.

The northern and eastern entrances of Yellowstone are closed because of 2-3 inches of rainfall. That's good enough evidence for me that rainfall is the primary variable affecting erosion.

I feel that if earth was covered in water, wouldn't it aid cooling the surface layers, and possibly start plate tectonics by causing cracks in the slaggy layer up top, where the lightest magma oozed out and began forming the proto continent. An ice age could possibly pile up enough ice to cause cracks in this continent? Idk. I'm as much a geologist as randy marsh

I learn almost as much from sci show as I do from my 6 year old nephew.

Rock paper scissors? Nah let's play mountain, river, tectonic plates! River erodes mountain, mountain squashes plate, plate cuts off river.

Quite the "range" of videos there... :P

The highest mountain on Venus is a bit taller than Everest even though Venus has a thicker atmosphere, so from that we can infer that the width of the mountain and the gravity of the planet are the main factors that determine how tall a mountain can get, and the atmosphere is a much smaller factor

I've been wondering... Something completely different. Could hydrogen powered planes increase the chance of forrest fires? Like how your not supposed to water the plants at certain times when it's really sunny because the droplets can have a magnifying effect and burn the leaves. Could the hydrogen from a plane influence some similar effect on a larger scale?

There is an old saying in german: Steter Tropfen höhlt den Stein. (Constant dripping wears away the stone.) It took quite a while to proof that long know fact. I don't expect the evolution theory to be finally proofen by scientific standards ever. So people, who don't understand what a theory is, will keep saying:"But it's just a theory, bro."

Wegener made no mention of ‘plates’ and therefore no plate boundaries.

I would have never known.

I have some questions about Hank's first video in this compilation. At 9:18 he says "far from plates' boundaries," and the first example he gives (Utah and Idaho) IS at the interior of a plate. But then the next examples -- Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, Himalaya -- are a mixture (the Rockies are interior; I'm not sure about the Sierra Nevada; the Himalaya are definitely on a plate boundary). He then mentions that those are examples of the kind of fault that caused the Alaska earthquake, which is another plate boundary. And the last example -- the San Andreas fault -- is purely at a plate boundary. What point was he making? Did he lose track of what the examples were supposed to be examples of? And at 10:07 he refers to southwestern Europe and then mentions Turkey (with a map). Turkey can be southeast Europe or it can be southwest Asia. It can't be southwest Europe. This was an old episode (judging by Hank's exaggerated delivery). I think the quality control is better now.

Uluru is an example of erosion of an ancient mountain range into finer particles that were washed down and sedimented by overlain land. Under high pressure and temperature the 'rock' was created and then the softer land eroded down to the level we see today. There is still so much Uluru under the land level today. St Michaels is granite, which by it's nature is molten rock cooled slowly under ground and then uplifted and the land eroded so we can see it. Good try. Geology is wonderful.

I have a question sci show. If the worlds water level rose one kilometre. Woukd that allow mountains to grow another kilometre or just half as much since water is almost half as dense as crust rock.

@Darkstar.....

Жыл бұрын

Dam that's a good question dark star from the past. There might be something in that although I doubt it would be linear. 1 kilometre one way or the other by some metric. If the crust acted like a boat I can see your theory having something there. But what stops mountains from rising is the pressure the mantle and surrounding crust can exert on that break in the crust. Water shouldn't be involved at all but that's only because the water doesn't currently cover the entire planet. I can't decide. If the world was flattened out would it stop continental drift or simply start again from the beginning when earth was created from cosmic hellfire and liquid rock. like a lava lamp turned on. Mars is a lava lamp turned off billions of years ago. I learned a bit since I last saw this video. Fist pump 😁

thanks love geology!

Short AND thick? Daaaaamn

22:49 you know I heard this theory about that, I don't remember all the wording exactly, but I think it involved a decree something to the effect of "let there be land"

Weel...it's like this so far as a mountain itself arising at its base is Mauna Kea in Hawai'i. She is some 10.203 m in true height under mean sea level. So honestly that is 1'355 in difference from looking down upon Mt Everest which is from her base is 8'848 m..
