I've learned a lot about geology over the last few years but never heard a key point that you make: the story of rocks is very different from the story of mountains (though the mountains are made up of the rocks). They're very different phenomena and events at very different times. That clarifies why geology can explain a lot more than might be immediately apparent. The mountains are important, and the rocks are important, but the rock composition of the mountains is important in itself!

Anyone know if the narrator for this documentary (Chris Yorath) did a geology series? He's a very good narrator. AND an actual geologist, unlike nearly all other such narrators. In other words, he's not just reading a script, pretending he knows what he's talking about. He does know what he's talking about.

This guy is a great educator snd has those cool 70s-80s vibes. As someone who lives in Vancouver and adores the gorgeous landscapes, as well as the flora and fauna of BC, it was great to learn the history of how it all came to be. It's truly humbling to think of the magnitude of the timespans involved and to discover that the land that I live on was once as warm as the tropics or that there was a time when the ocean came right up against the border of Alberta. Really reminds how you dynamic Mother Earth is and her many faces. Long may the beauty of this bejeweled blue pearl - the only oasis of life we know in this gigantic cosmos - endure! We humans, despite all our arrogance about being « special » are but a small transitory species in the vast stage of life.

If you've ever been to the Yukon, and walk some of the trails in the Yukon, you'll notice that you're walking on sea shells. They are everywhere up there. Clear evidence, it was, at one point, the ocean floor. Pick one up, and you're holding something, billions of years old! It's quite a spectacle to see this, that far from the coast. If you're in Whitehorse, go for a walk, and "sea" for yourself. I live in British Columbia, and live in these mountains. Good vid👍

The even more interesting question is where on the globe was the land when it was collided with the land masses have been crashing together and running away from each other the entire time.

it is now known that the collision of the plates was westward not eastward as we were always taught. the north american plate moved westwards the pacific plate did not move eastwards as much as we thought. it was to do with the old continent of Pangeia which moved westward as it broke apart. if in doubt see Prof Nick Zenter's talk on the new discovery and evidence.

I don't get it.I have looked at this several times. A potter for 40 years and know very well temperature and silicate materials relations, but Geology has me stumped by all the moving parts. Its like the earth is firing itself.Answers lots of questions and that's great.Too many answers are all over the place and have gaps. It can't be this simple. This kind of heat acting over this timescale.At least as much interaction in the mantle as the crust.Also, shouldn't we be cooked by now?I mean apart from the fact we have been,we are here now.I need to take a course.Also a strangely compelling desire to hammer out and to fire various rocks in my kiln.Never done that because the water, both entrained physically and chemically makes them explosive,but what the hell!

Heat? Yes. But, you forgot to include pressure. Get ordinary water hot enough under enough pressure to keep it liquid and it can and does dissolve gold and platinum! Two of the most stable elements we know of, impervious to almost all acids and yet they dissolve in good old H²0! This is but one example of the power of heat AND pressure. Then, you can add geological time periods and the magic really begins!
