20,000 Feet Deep; The World's Deepest Canyon

Рет қаралды 72,976

Күн бұрын

There exists a canyon on land which is almost 20,000 feet deep in specific sections. I am not referring to the Grand Canyon, as despite how impressive that geologic wonder is its maximum depth is only 6,093 feet. Instead, I am referring to the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, which is up to 19,714 feet or 6,009 meters deep. This feature formed due to differentiated uplift, a tectonic plate collision, and a high rate of erosion in the interior of Asia.

When I was in Afghanistan, we would fly over mountain ranges that were so steep and raw that they looked like crystals and there were huge valleys that had twisting river cut chasms that looked like they had been cut with a band saw. You couldn't even see the bottom. That whole region is the most geologically spectacular area of Earth.

It's also relatively flat on top, giving a much better impression of scale than just being a valley between up and down mountains. Also avoid the cop out of "up to" depth just going by the tallest mountain along the valley, while much of the valley is substantially lower vs the Grand Canyon depth being fairly uniform.

Even that is not true as uniformitarianism is nearly always wrong regarding geologic features we see. 1 large earthquake moves land upwards/downwards tens to hundreds of meters at a time. Look at Japan's coast in 2011, it dropped 2m and one of the reasons the water innundation tsunami was so bad. Alaska's earthquake in 1947? Saw 20m land slips all over the place and new jutting rock formations. 1 large mega water event creates what we see as the erosion rate is 10,000X greater than any uniformitarian baloney which essentially does nothing. Uplift per century is like watching the Hudson bay empty out due to thousands of meters of ice vanishing over it and the isostataic pressure is pushing the Bottom of Hudson Bay upwards of 3cm a year.

The Grand Canyon isn't "unique" though. There's other canyons formed via the same erosion process on plateaus such as the Fish River Canyon (Namibia), Canyonlands (Utah), Goosenecks State Park (Utah), etc. In my opinion, this Yarlung Tsangpo Canyon mentioned in the video is much more unique in the fact it's the deepest canyon embedded in the highest and most expansive mountain range on Earth.

@longlakeshore Ай бұрын

@@vxyz5219 The only way Yarlung can be said to be 19K feet deep is to measure from the tops of mountain peaks. Same goes for depth of the other mountain canyons he lists. Measuring from mountain peaks introduces bias in the measurement because as I've said gorges already existed between the peaks before the mass erosion event began. That's why a mean elevation is required to get an accurate depth. Even the depth of Grand Canyon depends on where it's measured. The North Rim is higher than the South Rim so measuring depth from the mean between them gives a more accurate figure. If Yarlung was on a flat plateau cut 19K feet deep then I would accept it in comparison to Grand Canyon.

All this ties back to Nick Zentner's controversial lecture on the Rockies being the result of a continent-continent collision starting from 100 million years ago instead of the Farallon plate's shallow angle subduction. Sevier and Laramide orogenies look similar to the overthrusts and folding at 3:16. Karin Sigloch et al also found broken slab remnants far to the east of the Rockies, as if an island arc hit western North America as it moved westward and the subducting slab broke off, just like in this animation. The story of the Rockies might be closer to that of India, Tibet and the Himalayas, instead of flat slab orogeny like in the Andes.

Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust, so where the two meet, the continental plate ends up overriding the oceanic plate, creating a subduction zone that produces volcanoes. In the case of the Himalayas, it's a collision of two continental plates of similar density, so instead of one being subducted, they crumple up like two cars colliding, pushing up mountains without creating volcanism.

As a note, this collision between India and Asia started some 50 million years ago. Before then, the oceanic crust between them would have been subducted and produced volcanism. India, before colliding with Asia, would have been surrounded by oceanic crust. As India moved north ward, this oceanic crust subducted beneath Asia producing volcanoes and eruptions. That stopped once India itself started to collide with Asia.

Why don’t you make a video explaining in depth how it’s possible for plate tectonics to consistently create lichtenberg fractals in the majority of mountain ranges? Lichtenberg fractals only occur when there’s electricity, either something burning when electricity moves through an organic material that’s conductive, or when an organic living being is powered by electricity such as with trees roosts and branches, or the human nervous system/arterial and venous systems, River systems because of the static electrical charge from the moving water, etc. I’ve heard theories that it’s rain and melt, but this isn’t true because you see it even in regions that have no precipitation for thousands of years, or have been frozen for millennia, and on mountainous terrain that has no sign of water erosion. To me, a person who’s gone to university for physics, these mountains are impossible if it’s indeed true that plate tectonics causes mountains to form, leading me to the conclusion that these are the result of an entirely different process.

So? Do you have evidence that supports your call of excrement? Probably not.

Why use an AI voice ? It completely destroys the video

@blankstares4355 Ай бұрын

interesting. but this doesn't seem like a good comparison. Grand Canyon is a canyon with a river in the bottom. that thing on China is a river next to a 20,000 ft tall mountain.

@vxyz5219 Ай бұрын

The only comparison is the depth of the valley which is a perfectly reasonable comparison. The Grand Canyon is not as deep. Simple as that.

I will not watch your videos because of your voice

@davidcranstone9044 Ай бұрын

Good riddance then. A minor example of natural selection at work, since someone more intelligent than you would have either A realised that GH was probably autistic and refrained from exposing your prejudices publicly. B simply have muted the video and followed it on the transcript, or C both of the above.

He uses his normal voice. Stop being a dick I beg you

@funnyperson4027 Ай бұрын

He honestly has since I started watching two years ago

@mani24k86 Ай бұрын

I don't understand why people always take everything in a negative way, it's my feedback and suggestion for him to make videos more watchable and entertaining. So it matters to me how he speaks if you still happen to disagree with me then it's alright.

I might have watched but you started speaking! You sound ridiculous

@davidcranstone9044 Ай бұрын

Good riddance then. And see my reply to someone else a few replies up (if you sort by newest), I can't be bothered to repeat it for the likes of you.

As a priest of the religion of science, you can erase all of my replies with a solid foundation. By censoring others, your integrity and honesty are compromised and your “scientific” illusions are still just that, fantasies.

More proof of this than anything "god" related.

What do you consider a "better" source?
