Thanks. Learned a lot.

please make a tutorial guide how you make that column with software you used.

They mine volcanic ash in calvert kansas for borax or something

Great video excellent subject matter and classification of major rock strata. I would have enjoyed hearing about why there are no dinosaur bones to be found because of all the significant rock layers containing them have been eroded away and now rest in the gulf of Mexico. You mentioned the Triassic period of sedimentary deposition was missing but not how these layers were stripped off. I live in Kansas City Missouri and Missouri suffers from the same fate, no dino bones to be found here either. I look forward to hearing about Missouri's geologic past as well. Please be sure to mention the ancient meteor impact sites in south Missouri:) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decaturville_crater#:~:text=The%20Decaturville%20crater%2C%20also%20referred,Decaturville%2C%20Missouri%2C%20United%20States.

What a great video! The us has some incredible variety of geology, and this way of breaking it down is excellent! Looking forward to the Kentucky video!

Anywhere there is industry, there are environmental concerns. Anywhere humans interacted with the world around them, there are environmental impacts. Anywhere humans put their waste, guess what? The author is probably correct in his assessment of geologist licensure. The Department of Health and Environment requires licensed professionals to oversee work that is performed for the benefit of the public in relationship to the world around us and is either financed in part or whole by us. Industry, you see, was so responsible that it literally took an act of Congress to get them to clean up their act. That was over fifty years ago. Now that regulations and oversight are in place, is it time for enforcement to shift to the state and local levels, with people who are more closely invested in those areas? The EPA will always be here when a big stick is necessary.

Hope you make one for PA, NJ, Maryland (my geologic playground) someday!

Portland Cement used to be a decent sized industry in southeast Kansas, as supposedly the mix of clay, limestone, and gypsum is ideal. Even though that's tapered off a bit, there's still two big plants active around Humboldt and Chanute. Lots and lots of rock quarries in that area. Supposedly the coal mining around Pittsburg + the zinc and lead mining around Galena supposedly fueled big time production of WW1 and WW2 ammunition, and the Tar Creek superfund site, as technically part of it is in Kansas. Southeast Kansas also had it's own methane boom in the late 1800s, but they have been mostly depleted due to the rampant waste of the era. One town was even named Gas because of that era.

I can assure you, Kansas State is NOT considered to be the best school for geology in the state lol - probably ranked #4 behind Kansas (where the Geologic survey is located), Wichita and Fort Hays State which still have their own field camp courses.

Very good overview of Geology in Kansas.

So Kansas has been under water longer than it's been above?

On your map upper Michigan is not part of Wisconsin

Hey! You should definitely keep producing videos like this. Please do one on Texas.

Southeast Kansas, mostly Cherokee and Crawford counties, had extensive strip mining for coal that ended in the mid 60s due to the high sulfur content. The lead/zinc mining fields extended into Oklahoma and Missouri and were considered the worst environmental impact area by the EPA Superfund. Tailings from the hard rock mines were returned to the shafts about 20 years ago. The town of Picher, OK a mile or two south of the border was evacuated as unfit for habitation.

Great video thanks for sharing , I want to know what software you used to make the stratigraphic column such in the beginning of video.

crystaleen

Did u know if u hydrologically press sediments u can make a rock instantly and it will carbon date to up to millions of years old sometimes (sometimes thousands) and u can even make “synthetic fossils” the same way that are basically indistinguishable from “natural fossils”. Makes u wonder how much of the “fossil record” (bones in the ground) is accurate vs we just want to believe what we already believe.

Awe had to stop cuz of music

Maybe you're pertaining to vesicles for vesicular types of basalts or with trapped water like connate or frothy basalts like pumice..

Thanks a lot for your teaching.

Two semester of Geology at Wichita State back in the 70’s. I absolutely loved these classes more than any other classes taken. I actual got A’s. because of such intense interest. This video is the best overview I’ve ever seen or heard. I don’t care what people think of Kansas, I love it here. 15 minutes in any direction and I’m out in the open spaces with massive open sky and vistas of thirty miles. Colorado and Missouri aren’t that far away and my favorite destinations for anything outdoor related. Back in September kayaked and camped the crystal clear Courtois river in the Mark Twain National Forest of Missouri. Alpine Rockies west and hardwood forests east, north or south pretty much the same as Kansas open range land.

Got any good sources that cover this line of subject matter?

clear and easy explanation.

Nevada is west of Kansas

Kansas producers 28 million barrels of oil per year

Thanks for your efforts about improving geological map reading . I suggest to develop geological map readings with steps from simple to advanced maps with exercises.

good info, but the music was distracting

Good job, alongside, can I know the title of the music in the background, :)

Hey bro thank u for this video. Ur channel will be very big

This playlist helped a lot with my hydrology midterm exam. Thank you!

You're carrying me through my Hydrology class!

Your videos are carrying me through the most of my Hydrology class

Dude! This video was great. Thank you for creating and sharing.

Thanks for highlighting our aquifer! This hydrology is crucial to understanding the Memphis Sand Aquifer and our work to protect it.

happy to be your thousandth subscriber - thanks for the great content! 🙏🏼

Can a dug well yield any meaningful amount of water?

Please do Missouri, surprisingly there is hardly a damn thing on the internet related to Missouri geology or natural history, and what nature stuff there is on Missouri or the Ozarks is always related to human resources and not science and nature. I can't even find a cohesive explanation of how the Ozarks uplift formed. I'm from south west Missouri, so I learn alot from Arkansas and Oklahoma stuff.

Thanks!

Iowa please! GG

Thank your videos are great and better than of my lecturer which is terribly unclear and complex

Great video, thanks for it. When measuring one stratum, How do you determine its thickness? As strata are not uniform in thickness, Do you use the minimum or maximum value or an average? My question is referring not to the true thickness (i.e., dip angle etc.). Thanks!

Thank you for the video, I am interested in taking a master in geology specialising in hydrogeology. May I please have your email address I would like to discuss with you more about the programe.

Loved this

Hi, im interested to conduct a study related to this topic for my masters degree. May I know your references? Thank you very much

Very cool! Thank you!

Good Video, i hope you can do the geological rule of V’s, its an important and interesting topic

Nice video man👍

Wow those were easy… makes me feel better about taking the test
