- From 2017: CWU's Nick Zentner at West Bar in central Washington. "Nick On The Rocks" is a series of short geology videos that air on Public Television stations across the Pacific Northwest.
This is another gem in the 'Nick On The Rocks' series.
But aren't they all? 😊
Nick is getting everyone up to speed for the Fall lecture A-Z series.Yup I have done my prep work .I expect also to be learning news things about the Ice age Floods Some of what I am learning can here in the UP of Michigan .15,000 years ago The UP was under a mile or more of ICE.
Love the use of animation - very educational!
Great series. You e been killing it with this short content lately. Thank you.
I've seen my share of shows at the Gorge and had already been fascinated by the geology of the whole region, so I really appreciated seeing this animation of where the flood would have cut through the landscape.
Thanks Nick, for the great episode. And, let's not forget to thank all the folks that support the series, and those "behind the scenes" that make the series possible.
Very impressive! I didn't want it to end. Nice touch, the flood behind the amphitheater.
I was watching your videos a couple of years ago, then somehow you disappeared from my radar. I'm SO happy i found you again. Nobody makes geology as interesting as you. You make me wish I was a young man so I could sign up for your classes !
Measure the dates of the rocks, knowing the rocks, knowing about Faults, Sudcion Plates, Ice Flows, River Flows, so many things i learn on the canal of Nicks, awesome
Thank you, Professor Nick! Love your lectures!
Excellent video as always. Thanks Nick!!
WOW the last animation of the flood was very good. thank you, ALL stay safe
very nice editing @ around 1:29 - air shot slow diss into man walking. nice
I love how this series is produced. Reminds me of something I'd see on PBS Nova.
Breathtaking spot - great video!
Nice animation, but you didn’t include the icebergs that would have been in it! Flown over West Bar many times and looked at the Mega-ripples. The age dating technique is interesting!
Such a great series. Thanks again for reminding us of these gems!
One of your greatest enthusiast, John Young from Rhododendron ,just passed. He took great pleasure in your series and pride in immersing himself in your guidance. Do keep up the great service. Thanks.
Another great presentation! Thank you!
Love this stuff Nick. Great prep for what is to come soon to your channel.
Almost all of us don't realize the drama that unfolded to form the beautiful landscape before us no matter where on the earth. :D
Interesting animation. Would be something if a CGI company went to the effort to create an animation of the whole Ice Age Floods epic. I think it would be pretty dramatic. I'd even pay to see it.
These are FANTASTIC Nick! I recall my geology professor at WSU, E K Peters, talking about you to our class. Glad I came upon your channel!
The animation really helps to see how it happened.
Dramatic visualization. Neat. I have been to the silica mine to look for common opal, but have never driven down to the amphlitheatre.
I can watch these episodes over and over and still learn or see something new every time.
14000 years ago?!. Wow, that's really close! Didn't realized it was that iced up not too long ago.
Another Interesting thing you could point out is that all of the boulders you noted have been rounded (no sharp edges), which is a feature created through transport by water, resulting in all of the rocks banging into each other and smoothing the edges, much like a tumbler does.

Holy crap... that was some wave....
I can't get my mind around how incredible the flood must have been. Will we ever see another?
Love these!
I would've thought the floods would be even more voluminous & earth rippin'
I thought I saw ripples west of Denver, north of Salida, recently.
Good.
Just started watch nick’s series’ and college talks about a month ago. Knew about Randall Carlson and his ice age flood stuff. This all jives with his timeline too. Very interesting. Great content. Because of a religious upbringing, on my college vulcanology field trip I argued for the “religious” view of a 6000 yr old earth. That God “made it that way”. But now older and wiser I don’t see how/why God would do that. This stuff is fascinating. Also Gobeckli Tepe.
Randall Carlson interpretation of the floods is completely wrong, he believes their was only 1 flood that was triggered by a meteorite hitting an ice shelf. Their is no evidence for this, his younger drias impact theory was recently debunked by a research paper refuting his claims. Missoula floods happened around 100 times during the retreat of the glaciers but also weren't the only megafloods in the area during the whole ice age.
Great segment Nick and Team! Powerful simulation of the water flowing. Great to learn about the radio isotope exposure measurements, how many years have these been used? What methods were used to calibrate the measurements to "reality of geologic time"?
YES..
Nickis it east and west of the Rockies or north and south of the Rockies.
Paleo Indians were around Wyoming, nearly at the same time, 14,000 years ago?
Wow.
Ice age flood....😂😂😂
GNEISS ILLUSTRATION WITH THE POTATO CHIP. MUST BE CLOSE TO LUNCH TIME.
Never take a great pun for granite.
Gneiss choice of words.
❤
Gee more ology nick!
