Enjoying your lectures so much. I am a semi-retired physician. I am older by 20 years. These changes were in the news. Like you,, I realize there is so much to know, that we do not even know what we don't know. This is so true of medicine. Huge changes in details of biochemistry and genetics have developed in the 50 years. So many people are so arrogant that they cannot accept not knowing that they don't know. This world wide virus problem has revealed to me that those in positions of power are not being honest or even reasonable. Boy, could we converse. I will binge on your videos.
Nick, recent watcher, 73yr old, was studying archeological, but now picking up geology because of you. Live in St Louis area, studying New Madrid. I've been keeping track of tremors for years. Love the broadcast.
From a 71 year old in North Yorkshire England so many thanks for a wonderful series.It is great that you make the time to do these broadcasts and give knowledge to a subject that so many enjoy and wish they new more about. Toast to you Nick on the rocks.
I'm an 80-year-old retired geographer. I just love your presentations. I especially enjoyed your San Andreas presentation. My late wife and I made a San Andreas Fault trip in 1985. We traveled from San Francisco to Palm Springs, spending the night in Coalinga where we interviewed a few people about the 1983 earthquake that destroyed the downtown of Coalinga. We heard some wonderful stories about people's reactions to the quake and how it impacted their lives. Thank you for what you do. Great job!
I was stationed at NAS Lemoore at the time and it did some damage to base housing as well, my wife and I saw the devastation in Coalinga and the damage to I5..
1st year Geology student here. I'm glad I came across your feed. You're explanations help me break down what I'm learning a little better. Thank you so much I look forward to more sessions.
As a person who has never been out of the eastern time zone in my life I find these lectures extremely interesting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and inspiration!
The more I learn about geology, the more I realize I don't know. Refreshing that even Nick is not afraid to admit when he doesn't know all the answers.
Nick, thank you for the work you have done to provide these interesting presentations. I like your presentation style. I hope you are enjoying your work as much as your viewers are. Your classes offered from your back yard during lockdown were very fresh. Thank you.
Hello Nick, Virgil V. Jr. From Ferndale Wa., checking in with you. It’s been quite a while, and I remember you suggesting to check in and say hi once in a while. Professor, I wanted to thank you for everything that you have done with all of this very important information that would absolutely be beneficial for the public to have this knowledge. Nick, I’ve had some conversations with important people, and have used your teachings to share this important information with people in very high places, that need to know about all of this, ahead of time, and keep it stored and filed for that day in the future, where cause and effect will already have an explanation through your teachings. So thank you Sir. Take care, have a great day, all the best, and God bless. Sincerely, Virgil V. Jr. American Patriot, For God and Country, Ferndale Wa, 98248
I had a fantastic geology teacher back in college (Mrs. Bradshaw). Your enthusiasm is like hers and rekindles my own excitement for this branch of science.
Another great lesson!!! Being from Southern California this episode is most appreciated. Atwater's new paper with the two layered underwater land slides is fascinating, scary, so complicated. Thank you very much for your amazing presentation. Really enjoy all your lessons!! Be well and stay safe sir!!!!

With every teaching - this one on a rerun, even - by Nick, I gather tiny droplets of knowledge, that finally manage to reach my brain… "The American plate, from the San Andreas fault, all the way to Iceland"… and I finally realized that my friend who emigrated from the Netherlands to Iceland (Reykjavik) might live in a country that is partnered to the European Union, but lives ón the American plate, as Reykjavik lies west of the Atlantic rift…
I was 9 years old in 1952 and lived in Bellflower California when the Kern County Earthquake occurred. My bedroom had a wooden floor and I remember my bed sliding across the floor and hitting the opposed wall. I woke up and tried to run to my parents bedroom but I could not standup. I remember a lot of vibration and the noise cause by our doorbell chines what were like organ pipes five foot in length and slamming into the opposing wall. The epicenter was 102 miles from Bellflower. I will never forget that morning. I was traumatized as a child. The Sylmar quake in 1971 was a roller as I remember. I was living in Fullerton California at the time married with three children. Fullerton was 49 miles from the epicenter. The Nisqually earthquake in 2001 was the first time I witnessed the ground waves. I was in the dental chair in Federal Way, WA when the motion started. My dentist said oh S that's and earthquake he jumped up and spilled are his dental tools on the floor. I got out of the chair and looked out the window. The ground outside was like waves, really amazing sight. A friend of mine was with FEMA and his specialty was inspections after and earthquake. He said the 1995 Northridge, Ca event was the first time he had witness sliding glass doors bowing to the extent that they exploded and shot glass fragments into opposing wall. I he said several homeowners had been injured or killed by the shrapnel. I enjoy your lectures.
I have always had many interests, and geology is one of them. I'm a professor of small animal clinic, and a law student, but I'm still going to take a geology course. Gratitude for providing so much information, and for your so stripped-down way of teaching! I have learned a lot from you, Professor Nick!
I love your videos Nick, I discovered them last year, but somehow your live videos eluded me until two days ago😞, I have a good friend that I went to college with and we decided to "take" your exotic terranes lecture class, we ordered our "textbooks" (roadside geology of Washington) and we are both genuinely excited for it! I was a geology major at Sacramento State and have been on field trips all over the Golden State, I have stood on the San Andreas at Point Reyes, and have walked the streets of Hollister observing faulrt creep damage
i grew up in the north-end of San Bernardino at the foothills of the San Bdno mtns. We had the San Andreas running thru our backyard. Hot springs, clay fields and mud caves were in the vicinity too!
I worked for the Stocktons when I lived in Spokane. Truly wonderful family. Your words must have struck a cord about the flood and the ocean. The family moved to higher ground.👍😊
I love these ! I've been watching your CWU video's and just stumbled across your own channel. Even though I'm not in the US, it's still enjoyable to learn something new.
Californian living on the Pacific Plate side who recently stumbled onto your NOTR show and these lectures, have been fascinated with your lectures on PNW geology as it is, so thanks so much for this! Carrizo Plain is also one of my favorite places here in CA!
Love your program it's always in her it's always helpful and entertaining as well to see a professor of your statue that can produce and video and keep in touch with people as well and the audience at the same time thank you
I'm 41 years old and still find this highly interesting , who says you can't teach a old dog new tricks lol great job Mr zentner... 🇨🇱 Location north east Texas just short of the new Madrid fault line . . .
So interesting, Nick. Couldn't get to see you live-streaming this, but am enjoying the catch-up. Learned loads as is usual with your talks. Thank you so much for all your time and efforts. Cheers from Jane in Hereford in England.
Hi Nick, thank you so much for doing all these wonderful lessons. I just discovered your UA-cam and Live streaming videos last week and I wish I had known about them before now. I can't stop watching! I've been trying to catch up by binge watching but it will take me a couple of months. Love your cats, too. Jerry from Portsmouth, Virginia.
I was just wondering if you would be able to tell me why Enid, Ok and other small towns around it are have so many earthquakes? I mean this is Oklahoma this is crazy train right?
I remember being in grade school and my teacher told us that part of california would one day fall into the ocean. That was so scary to a little kid, even though i lived in Indiana, no where near it. It made me wonder what else could happen.
I live in Yucaipa California (just east of San Bernardino) very near the San Andreas fault and it was good to get a better understanding of how the faults work that are around me. My father in law used to joke that we may have beach front property here someday! Thank you for all the work that you do to bring this to us.
Good job Nick! As a Southern California-trained geologist (UC Riverside '80 & '83) we had easy access to all things San Andreas Fault (SAF) since it was only about twenty miles from campus. One of the things I found impressive are the hillsides and large exposures of fault gouge and completely shattered rock produced by the movement of the SAF. For example Blue Cut near I-15 at the entrance to Cajon Pass. Or take a drive on Big Pine Highway north of the town of Wrightwood and marvel at the hillsides and zones of ground up rock. To me, this is one of the more profound and sobering field examples of plate movement representing the tens of thousands of earthquakes it took to produce these small mountains of gouge. You put a lot of effort into your videos and I very much appreciate it!
The SR-14 cut just outside of Palmdale is another stark example of the twisting movement of layer upon layer of rock along the fault line, not too far from Palmdale Lake, which I'm sure started out as a sag pond. Despite my general knowledge of the SAF, having gone through the Sylmar quake in 1971, it still took 50 years to find out what I was driving over -- and along -- every winter weekend driving to Mammoth Lakes, for the entire 360-mile journey. That entire route from our home in Long Beach to Mammoth was and is a never-ending treasure trove of geologic history and features and makes history almost daily.
Why in the world was the year not included in the prominently displayed and portrayed date ? Complicate my entire thought process needlessly . Thank you ! Looking forward to this presentation always enjoy and profiting from this geologists talks !
So very interesting to learn about places I drive through regularly. Lived in a house that was built on the fault. Still work in the post office there. USGS has a seismograph in our office. So glad you popped up
It's cool to know that my house in Oxnard plays a part in world changing events, Santa Barbara looks like it's on a ride though. Just another a couple hundred million years to go and I can call Washington home too. Thanks Nick.
I really appreciate your enthusiasm in your lecture series. I've learned so much and enjoyed each one. My only wish is your institution would give you more monies for better quality production. Keep up the great work!
The question about the mouth of the Colorado river changing, I know several million years ago it emptied where Anza State Park is now, to the west of the Salton Sea. Much farther north of where it is now. There is a prominent feature in the park, called Font’s Point, which is the residue of the ancient mouth of the Colorado River. Learned this at the visitor center in Anza Borrego Park.
I missed the live stream again today. I havent missed any of your shows, Im not going to start now. I have watched most all the stuff on youtube about The Pacific coast when I was planning my rv trip there three years ago. This included most of Nicks videos. I enjoy the live commentary that Nick adds to these livestreams. Keep up the good work.
Nick - yet another great production. Speaking of the San Andreas and other Bay-Area faults, there is a good UA-cam series featuring a guy named Brian Hackney (TVBAYAREA UA-cam channel) called: "1906 EARTHQUAKE•WHERE DID IT RIP?" & "THE NEXT GREAT QUAKE" - he did an areal/ground survey of the SF EQ, "WHERE THE FAULT LIES Pts 1-4", survey of the San Andreas, Hayward and other Bay-Area faults.
Life long Rock Hound in Edmonton, Alberta here. My Dad was in the Canadian Armed Forces so I grew up all over Canada, from Comox on Vancouver Island to Goose Bay, Labrador and many places in between. It's geology has long fascinated me and I have collected rocks along the way. I also spent quite a few years in SE BC in the Columbia Valley along the Western edge of the Rockies. I've gained many insights into the processes that have shaped the region from your lectures. Thank you Sir!! I too have to ask what you think about the theories Randall Carlson presents about the Scablands! Cheers Nick!
Love your lectures! Can you do something on the Klamath river? Happy Camp resident/gold miner. There hardly anything on this area. Thanks if you do, we'll be watching for it.
You need to watch these and learn about, mostly about the Cascades. I never realized what information was available on the Cascades that tie together but can be shown individually. His students are fortunate. Thanks for helping an east coast gal learn more as she ages. I have family in CA and living in the Cascades so very helpful. Hopefully, your governor will ease up on his draconian COVID rules soon.
I learn more from your videos than anyone else! With the San Andreas fault continuing to move Northward, cutting off the subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest, what if any could the implications be on greater plate movement around the world? With the slab pull along the west coast, would this possibly affect the Mid-Atlantic Ridge since the impact of slab pull from this part of the plate not existing anymore?
Lived along the faultline for a few years out in the southern desert parts. It is strange to see a green line of trees and vegitation going through a normaly dry and brown enviroment. Naturaly this isthe faultline trapping and raising water to the surface for those plants. It is also the reason for the famous hot springs to be found from the Salton Sea to parts north.
I live in San Martin, CA just north of Hollister. The Calaveras Fault is pretty close to me on one side and the San Andreas on the other. I was living in San Francisco while the Loma Prieta earthquake ripped, and witnessed a bunch of damage. It took me 3 hours to be able to catch the Geary bus home to the inner Richmond from the Financial District because my regular Fulton bus line is electric! My then boyfriend had bare property near the epicenter, probably a mile as a crow files on the east side of the fault, and there was no damage to the bridge over the creek. We went to Sveadal up the road with a bunch of cabins on post on boulder foundations and expected mass destruction. Nothing. All the little cabins were still standing. Meanwhile just over the hill and where I was working and living in San Francisco miles away was mass destruction. Looking forward to the next rock and roller!
I used to live in Japan for a few years, lots of earthquakes! I also used to live 2-6 miles from the Hayward Fault in the Oakland Hills. At UC Berkeley the Football stadium is half on the North American Plate and half on the Pacific Plate!!
Nick, love this rewatch! I have to laugh you're like the "Joel" in Mystery Science Theatre 3000 🎥 Props and all. btw Dorothy (Dot) Foresburg jumped otta' my styling chair @Trendsetters one Friday.(1995? I made all the old ladies watch it on cable 😳) Of course she knows the Joel Hodgson's folks, teachers in THE Cozy Fort (Atkinson.) Ya' Gotta Love it! ❤
Professor, how can the North American plate heading SW & the Pacific plate going NE collide without subduction fault ? It would seem that something has to give with 2 of the most gigantic plates hitting each other like this. Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hated missing you this morning But I was on the Etoah River just a paddling away. Not much in the way of geology but we do have a mound dated to along time past. And...and a smattering of placer gold here and there. Those field trips and guests were da bomb.
I really hate it when people in the chat leave blatantly political comments. C'mon people, leave your political baggage at home. This is about geology.
Loved this one it was the earthquake in the 80s that got me interested in San andrais and earthquakes. Never thought I would experience one living in the middle of a plate in the UK but 11 years ago we had a 5.2 a 70 year event
You are one of the most humorous and watchable teachers that I have ever had the privilege of watching. Thank you!
Enjoying your lectures so much. I am a semi-retired physician. I am older by 20 years. These changes were in the news. Like you,, I realize there is so much to know, that we do not even know what we don't know.
This is so true of medicine. Huge changes in details of biochemistry and genetics have developed in the 50 years.
So many people are so arrogant that they cannot accept not knowing that they don't know.
This world wide virus problem has revealed to me that those in positions of power are not being honest or even reasonable. Boy, could we converse. I will binge on your videos.
2 1/2 years later ( 2-19-23) and in loving this. I’m in the greater LA area and am very well aware of the fault!

Despite my general knowledge of the SAF, having gone through the Sylmar quake in 1971, it still took 50 years to find out what I was driving over -- and along -- every winter weekend driving to Mammoth Lakes, for the entire 360-mile journey. That entire route from our home in Long Beach to Mammoth was and is a never-ending treasure trove of geologic history and features and makes history almost daily.
Why in the world was the year not included in the prominently displayed and portrayed date ? Complicate my entire thought process needlessly . Thank you ! Looking forward to this presentation always enjoy and profiting from this geologists talks !
Lived in ca. when 1971 earthquake hit, and again for the 1994 earthquake. Rock and Roll!
So very interesting to learn about places I drive through regularly. Lived in a house that was built on the fault. Still work in the post office there. USGS has a seismograph in our office. So glad you popped up
It's cool to know that my house in Oxnard plays a part in world changing events, Santa Barbara looks like it's on a ride though. Just another a couple hundred million years to go and I can call Washington home too. Thanks Nick.
No joke, was watching this video when an earthquake just hit us here in Long Beach, CA! 11:38 PM
Thank you! Been thoroughly enjoying your videos and livestreams -- fascinating!
I really appreciate your enthusiasm in your lecture series. I've learned so much and enjoyed each one. My only wish is your institution would give you more monies for better quality production. Keep up the great work!
Was it John Stockton? I gots to know
Thank you for sharing with all of us.
The question about the mouth of the Colorado river changing, I know several million years ago it emptied where Anza State Park is now, to the west of the Salton Sea. Much farther north of where it is now. There is a prominent feature in the park, called Font’s Point, which is the residue of the ancient mouth of the Colorado River. Learned this at the visitor center in Anza Borrego Park.
I missed the live stream again today. I havent missed any of your shows, Im not going to start now. I have watched most all the stuff on youtube about The Pacific coast when I was planning my rv trip there three years ago. This included most of Nicks videos. I enjoy the live commentary that Nick adds to these livestreams. Keep up the good work.
Nick - yet another great production. Speaking of the San Andreas and other Bay-Area faults, there is a good UA-cam series featuring a guy named Brian Hackney (TVBAYAREA UA-cam channel) called: "1906 EARTHQUAKE•WHERE DID IT RIP?" & "THE NEXT GREAT QUAKE" - he did an areal/ground survey of the SF EQ, "WHERE THE FAULT LIES Pts 1-4", survey of the San Andreas, Hayward and other Bay-Area faults.
Nick you are a legend. Love your work.
Thanks Nick, busy catching up on all your stuff! Hopefully I'll get to see a live show, but as you start so late my time, I doubt it :)
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Greetings from a new subscriber - Rio de janeiro. Outstanding job Sir.
Hi Nick would Newcastle in australia keryn would we be due for earth quake
Life long Rock Hound in Edmonton, Alberta here. My Dad was in the Canadian Armed Forces so I grew up all over Canada, from Comox on Vancouver Island to Goose Bay, Labrador and many places in between. It's geology has long fascinated me and I have collected rocks along the way. I also spent quite a few years in SE BC in the Columbia Valley along the Western edge of the Rockies. I've gained many insights into the processes that have shaped the region from your lectures. Thank you Sir!!
I too have to ask what you think about the theories Randall Carlson presents about the Scablands! Cheers Nick!
Love your lectures! Can you do something on the Klamath river? Happy Camp resident/gold miner. There hardly anything on this area. Thanks if you do, we'll be watching for it.
You need to watch these and learn about, mostly about the Cascades. I never realized what information was available on the Cascades that tie together but can be shown individually. His students are fortunate. Thanks for helping an east coast gal learn more as she ages. I have family in CA and living in the Cascades so very helpful.
Hopefully, your governor will ease up on his draconian COVID rules soon.
I learn more from your videos than anyone else! With the San Andreas fault continuing to move Northward, cutting off the subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest, what if any could the implications be on greater plate movement around the world? With the slab pull along the west coast, would this possibly affect the Mid-Atlantic Ridge since the impact of slab pull from this part of the plate not existing anymore?
Lived along the faultline for a few years out in the southern desert parts. It is strange to see a green line of trees and vegitation going through a normaly dry and brown enviroment. Naturaly this isthe faultline trapping and raising water to the surface for those plants. It is also the reason for the famous hot springs to be found from the Salton Sea to parts north.
That offset happened in Alaska in 1964. You probably saw those photos.
I live in San Martin, CA just north of Hollister. The Calaveras Fault is pretty close to me on one side and the San Andreas on the other. I was living in San Francisco while the Loma Prieta earthquake ripped, and witnessed a bunch of damage. It took me 3 hours to be able to catch the Geary bus home to the inner Richmond from the Financial District because my regular Fulton bus line is electric! My then boyfriend had bare property near the epicenter, probably a mile as a crow files on the east side of the fault, and there was no damage to the bridge over the creek. We went to Sveadal up the road with a bunch of cabins on post on boulder foundations and expected mass destruction. Nothing. All the little cabins were still standing. Meanwhile just over the hill and where I was working and living in San Francisco miles away was mass destruction.
Looking forward to the next rock and roller!
Hi from Ipswich in the UK. You're welcome 😀
Scott Cronk's last name is popular, there's a family of Cronks that live near Mt baker that have been in the area for over 100 years i've heard.
Love your videos thankyou so very much
I used to live in Japan for a few years, lots of earthquakes! I also used to live 2-6 miles from the Hayward Fault in the Oakland Hills. At UC Berkeley the Football stadium is half on the North American Plate and half on the Pacific Plate!!
Nick, love this rewatch! I have to laugh you're like the "Joel" in Mystery Science Theatre 3000 🎥 Props and all. btw Dorothy (Dot) Foresburg jumped otta' my styling chair @Trendsetters one Friday.(1995? I made all the old ladies watch it on cable 😳) Of course she knows the Joel Hodgson's folks, teachers in THE Cozy Fort (Atkinson.) Ya' Gotta Love it! ❤
Professor, how can the North American plate heading SW & the Pacific plate going NE collide without subduction fault ? It would seem that something has to give with 2 of the most gigantic plates hitting each other like this. Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hated missing you this morning But I was on the Etoah River just a paddling away. Not much in the way of geology but we do have a mound dated to along time past. And...and a smattering of placer gold here and there. Those field trips and guests were da bomb.
Here in Tennessee we have a town called Etowah.
Cool. I think it is a Creek Indian word. The mound dates to the Mississippian people around 1000AD very talented no doubt
Since San Francisco is also moving north won't The Dodgers & the A's be crosstown rivals? And the giants & the Mariners be crosstown rivals?
Thank you Nick!
Hi Nick melbourne just had 5.9 in australia I live in Newcastle
I really hate it when people in the chat leave blatantly political comments. C'mon people, leave your political baggage at home. This is about geology.
Thank you.
STFU lib
Missed the live cast, but checking in from the beautiful brown 559! Hadn't realized I was jumping plates traveling back and forth to SoCal.
What happened at the junction of the northern and southern segments of the fault in 1906? Did they drift 20ft?
Loved this one it was the earthquake in the 80s that got me interested in San andrais and earthquakes. Never thought I would experience one living in the middle of a plate in the UK but 11 years ago we had a 5.2 a 70 year event
I could not make saturday or sundays lecture... making up for it now.. new record for views?? great posts as always.. many Brets to you, THANKS NICK.
Another great show from the Carl Sagan of geology.
New to you but I really like this great work.
