The rise of the Himalayas affected more than just the immediate area. Turns out, we may have them to thank for everything from the rise of giant flightless birds in Madagascar; to the disappearance of plants from Antarctica; to the expansion of the great grasslands of North America, and more.

All subduction zones on Earth have this characteristic. When Darwin walked on the Andes in South America, he found exactly the same remains beneath his shoes.
Thanks PBS Eons team
pounced on this episode like oaks, plums, and maples on the himalayas
?
@@flufffycowugh at least watch the vid first and you might get it
Can u please link it here @@Makabert.Abylon

The power of nature is phenomenal.
From someone who has lived in these sacred mountains , they are truly amazing. But because of the tectonic plate still pushing, earthquakes are very frequent.
Tectonic Tales sounds like a great series!
I had no idea the Himalayas were once at the bottom of the ocean.
Whales went from land to water around the same place. Imagine that.
Well, yes, and India was island.
They are called as the forehead of the ocean by locals , sagarmatha
Wie immer großartig! 👏🏽
I’ve been waiting for this since the India was an island episode!
I live in these Himalayas 😊
Nepal?
@@1queijocas no I live in kashmir between greater Himalayas and pir panjal range 🌷
its crazy how much some rocks folded by plate tectonics can influence the world!
Now consider the effects that will be caused by the mountain range that will be built up once the Australian Plate has completed mostly subducting the Indian Plate, tens of millions of years from now. Which will likely be significantly higher than the Himalayas ever reached!
Amazing content
The name 'Himalayas' originates from the ancient Sanskrit language of India. In the Sanskrit language, 'Himalaya' means 'abode of snow'.
Yeah , everyone knows .
Finally, an episode with no disclaimers.
One of the most beautiful fossils that one can ever unearth is that of the ammonite that one finds abundantly in the foothill areas of the Himalays. These mesmerizing stones have neatly preserved the outer shell designs of ammonites. The stone is considered sacred by Hindus and Buddhists. Every stone tells the story of an ammonite that once lived in the warm and crystal clear waters of the Tethys sea. When you hold the fossil, you can almost hear the story of the ammonite being told to you by the cold breeze that blows by. Another piece of history that the Himalays hide is related to the origin of the whales. Bone fossils of an ancient whale ancestors was found in the Himalays as well.
Stay safe Floridian’s, from Aus 🇦🇺
*Floridians, but agreed!
Himalayas makes grassland. Does it means Himalayas plays a indirectly role in origin of human?
Yay!! Rock facts!!!
1234 1234 ROCK FACTS ROCK FACTS ROCK FACTS
I’ve been waiting for this one
26 min team reporting for duty!
Thre "Crazy Eocene" when the Geology of the Planet went....Crazy.
That was fascinating. Thanks 👍
So amazing
Much like the Himalayas did, I am so excited to see the people of the word rise up.
great episode!♡
Life long learners will see this and just be like “hell yeah”
Can you do a video on the western ghats and how they were formed and how they affected Indian climate? I find very little videos on them.
Great video BTW
Always look at your rocks. You never know what you're looking at!
💜💜💜💜
There's also the Arctic Azolla theory to explain that dramatic global cooling at the exact same period
is there like a channel like this but more payshology focus?
but this PBS Series thing is US only if I'm understanding this correctly?
certainly yes. Not even sure if it's available for the unincorporated territories.
Nope, watching from the UK.
Sir Edmund Hillary was actually the first human being ever to climb all the way up to the very tippy-top of Mount Everest! 😳

This was one of the greatest Eons in a while. 😎

Underrated comment 😭😂
Shallow sea is generally ideal location for oil and gas discovery. Not in this case.
Really? So the Himalays are responsible for Windows XP desktop background?
Nice to know who to blame!😋
Oh no it’s the Indian subcontinent with a steel chair!!!
So the Himalayas caused the emu war
@7:00 "(...) raise a huge-@$$ mountain range to stop climate warming and reduce CO2 on the atmosphere..." noted! *turns around to the crowd*
Guys! Guys! We have it figure out!
Another problem with evolutionary psychology it assumes the environments ancestors evolved in . And how does evolutionary physiology
and this one time, at changed the world camp
Wow, first time I'm this early
So we’re at lower CO2 levels than at any time in Earth’s last 200 million years or so, with a colder, more arid climate than ever? Plus, we’re in an interglacial period. And here I thought CO2 from cars and such were going to end the Earth and destroy climates. Truly, the more we learn, the more humble we must be and refocus our attention on the major effects we can actually change, like trash pollution, poaching, chemical waste, and willful ecological destruction.
Yes, the Pleistoscene glaciations probably had the lowest CO2 levels on Earth's history, ever.
They're so low that if something like this happened, say, 500 million to a billion years from now (with more sunlight and thus weathering) the CO2 levels would have dropped so much that C3 plants could go extinct.
Yes, we all know that the earth used to be a lot hotter in previous geological eras. The problem is that humans and all the life around us is adapted to the current, cooler climate. I sure as hell don't want to live in an environment where summers go above 30C on a regular basis, regardless of if it has an effect on other plants and animals.
eh? c3 vs c4 vs c??? photosynthesis?
So early 😮

Carbon dioxide blocks heat both ways
Carbon dioxide doesn't block heat. It absorbs and emits it. Much of this heat is emitted back towards the surface when it was being radiated out into space, so in effect this heat is "trapped".
Hawk tuah, spit on that mountain range
