@@myroncook Myron ! What a great journey you took us on ! It's truly amazing that so many clues are still visible to anyone, in plain sight ! Now, there is just one tiny issue, and I hope that you take this as a form of well-mannered constructive criticism, sir. The title is just every so slightly misleading. To me, in my mind, "How Geologists Discovered [the Seaway]" would lead me to think that the video would be about those specific geologists and the actual specific discoveries made by them over time, in a historical context. This was especially true for me since you mentioned the 1869 expedition by John Wesley Powell. I expected more specific historical details to follow in his footsteps. Alas, we did not get that. Now, I know that this is not a true historical channel, in the normal sense. Instead this is a great, shall I say spectacular, channel about geology over a much vaster historical timeline. Keep up the amazing work, and I speak for everyone when I say, NEVER STOP !!

Hi Myron! I am an engineer with a railroad out here in Grand Junction and my route goes through Thompson Springs, Helper, and all along the Bookcliffs. I get so excited riding along these beautiful features every day and wondering about the ancient landscapes that made these mountains into what they are today. So glad to see you made a video about them. I just bought a book about this very thing by Ron Blakey! PS, you met my boyfriend, Jason at a restaurant while you were here in town, thanks for the photo! We were so excited! If you ever make it back to GJ, I hope to meet you, too!

Thank you for your videos!

We actually use the metric system frequently in the fields of medicine. Remember 1 in = 2.54 cm exactly. 1 foot is 12 inches or approximately 30.48cm. For example 1foot which is actually 12in* 2.54 cm/1in = 30.48 cm I mile = 5,280 feet 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers. Definition: A mile (symbol: mi or m) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is currently defined as 5,280 feet, 1,760 yards, or exactly 1,609.344 meters. By using stoichiometry, u just cancel matching units until you can’t cancels any other units. Now multiply across and divide. You get the answer with the correct dimensions. 3 teaspoons tsps = 1 tablespoon = 14.787 ml.

@persephone342 well more or less I know about the imperial system but it's not immediate and it doesn't make following an education video smooth at all.

@@myroncooki eatvhed your video about the fans coming from river deltas and how far they go out to see, as well as the channels you noted running across the bottom of the ocean. I believe you said they were caused by the rivers and underwater currents, but it wasnt fully understood. I disagreed, its my understanding that the paths the major rivers follow were not originally carved by the rivers themselves, the eater just took the path of least resistance. I adhere to the electrical model of the universe, in said model its understood from accounts of the ancients that great cataclysms of an electrical nature happened. These events occured before life even existed here. These planetary scale electrical storms literally carved out huge swaths of land and killed untold numbers of species in the known catacylsms (it wasnt a meteor it was a global electical storm and a scale we can hardly imagine). Look at electrical excavation experiments done by many experimentalists. It shows the exact same fratures we see on he surfaces of every celestial body we observe.

Having visited places like Capitol Reef in younger days, I found that I was easily overwhelmed by the various landscape formations, not able to understand the subtle clues of structure - so I simply remained in awe of the aesthetic beauty of such places... And now, many decades further, I am able to virtually revisit these in a new light even though I may not be able physically to do so. A subscriber thanks you!

It's so interesting, and holds so much information about why the current configuration of land is the way it is, and why plants grow where they do. I love to read rock formations and try to visualise how they formed and what might have lived around them, your videos are like learning to read. I'm in an area that was repeatedly flooded and reforested through the Carboniferous, I've got chunks of fossilised rainforest from alternating layers of mudstone, shale and coal capped by massive slabs of sandstone that I can now visualise better thanks to your video. Feels a bit like deep time vertigo. It's also really interesting to see formations that are nothing like what we've got since our landscape was scraped smooth by ice.

As a child in Colorado we camped in an area that we found a lot of fossilized sharks teeth from a now extinct clam eating shark. I also lived in Paradox Valley that was formed by the collapse of a large salt dome. There are major salt deposits left over from this ocean. Thanks for sharing such fascinating history of our world.

Recently recommended this channel and can’t say enough nice things. From the lovely visuals, informative content and most of all the inviting, soothing and, I cannot help but make the connection, Mr Rogers evoking cadence and intonation, I’ve been loving to listen to these presentations. Thank you for sharing!

Thirty minutes in, and I just had to pause to say Thank You. From a retired Brit with an interest in geology ever since my first visit to Scotland. (edit: and reading John McPhee too!) Living on the South coast, on a dark chilly evening but a very good Scotch to hand, it's good to be in your company. Just as absorbing as any David Attenborough, bless him. edit2: and what a poetic ending. If there was ever a poetic science, perhaps geology is it, because it can be directly observed, but only with understanding. which comes from teaching.

Ron Blakey maps are indispensable. What an outstanding performance of his calling they are. It’s inspiring to me.

Absolutely wonderful video, me and my family used to go camping all the time when I was a kid and I never cherished the vast knowledge and deep care park rangers had for the lands around them. Now that Im older I find my self missing that, and this fulfills that curiosity in such a calming way. I think its all to easy nowadays to get swept up with life and forget to slow down and enjoy what nature has to offer, and this has helped me take a breath. Thanks myron, you've brightened many days, and filled many minds.

The topics you cover in this video can be difficult to grasp sitting in a classroom or reading the literature. You have a gift of explaining and your videos and presentations are satisfying and getting better. I am sending anyone interested in learning geology to this channel.
