    I started following a geology teacher, Nick Zentner, during Covid. He helps quiet my brain so I can sleep and I learn a bit about geology before I fall asleep.
    Granite, along with a lot of other rocks, is volcanic in origin. There was a lot of volcanoes or a big one with feeder dykes there. Lidar has helped them find what are actually the remains of massive calderas that were unnoticeable from the ground or from flying over.

    The Trek Planner directed me to Ruins and Ridges today. These two channels and my favorite geologist youtuber Myron Cook allow me to hike through nature's terrain, visit unusual and unique places, see remnants of ancient human living, and learn how to interpret land formations.

    Another viewer referred here by the Trek Planner. You’re doing great work. Very enjoyable. Not intending to be critical, but I don’t think you’re correct about the age of the rock in the Dells. Aren’t they about 1.4 billion years old? Vishnu schist at he bottom of GC is about 1.8 billion, as I recall.
