@@Ellensburg44 I don't understand what happened to Jessie Bunker-Maxwell's link she put on here earlier this afternoon (and sent to me and to Nick).

I also got a screenshot of it so I could look later after grabbing comments from the live chat.

Paul, You might really enjoy looking at this site, which explains beautifully what was happening and what is the Col. Embayment. burkemuseum.org/geo_history_ wa Stay well
Nick, I keep visualizing your need for frosting & a cake decorating sleeve - kind of a triangular tube made out of nylon with a metal tip at the end they use to load up with frosting & squeeze it out the tip for cake decorating. It would make a perfect pluton analogy for stitching together the fruit cake. I'd speed mail you one before Friday, but just haven't the where-with-all right now. Maybe one of the other readers of these comments who live closer to E-burg can. -- I always love what you're doing!
For those of us under the age of 80, the June Taylor Dancers were a dance troupe popular in the 1950’s & 1960’s, most notably for performing on the Jackie Gleason show...quite the modern cultural reference, eh? 🤣 come for the geology, stay for the cultural history and the occasional midwestern idioms. You gotta love it!
Watched the China volcano Utube. Fantastic. Also shows young people with artistic abilities that they can get into animations for science programs. Fantastic depictions of moving plates!!
Lol i remember one geology teacher in highschool that was fun like you lol Much love xoxox thanks for the show and learning experience but i need to start this series from the beginning to catch up ;)
I really enjoyed this I watch crime pays Botany doesn't I like how hes trying to teach about the habitat and the rock that plants and animals interactive with i love the rock part of plants but know almost nothing about the rocks Someone recomended your channel so i can learn more Here in Ontario we do have bedrock so close to the surface And lost of Diggin and exploring happening its cool I don't like how the highways blow the rocks apart but it gives us a peek inside its very interesting Thanks hoping to binge watch your videos this winter learn some more
The strange smell from the green rock must come from one of the minerals and makes me think of the young man from New Zealand who was doing research on Ellensburgh Blue gates and he said that he could not get garden flowers to grow in soil derived from some of the metamorphic rocks (presumably because the content of some mineral is much higher or lower than the requirements of most cultivated plants).
The terranes were together when accreted then cut in half by the Yellowstone hotspot. The hotspot melted the “melange” and built a wedge of magma between the terrain and redeposited part of it as flood basalt (German Chocolate Cake)
As always, great lecture Professor Z. Interesting reveal when you showed the map of the humongous pink blob of pluton where the Sierras are. Is there any way you would come early next Friday and answer all the questions in the live chat and in the comments here, that didn't get answered? Thank you very much!
Oh, Nick! This is getting wild now! I just read about the OWL, never heard of it before. My new theory; the owl is a lower section of the SCF(Straight Creek Fault), below that comes the KBML (Klamath-Blue Mountain Lineament) They line up over a West subduction zone much like the San Andreas, Cascadia and the Queen Charlotte Fault. After all we need something with right lateral slip to bring Baja to BC! Something caused the NA Plate to hesitate and break the SCF and flip the West subduction to an East subduction. I am going to hedge my bet on a hot spot located in a peninsula of the Kula Plate as it drove under the NA Plate effectively cutting the subducting floor off. This wedged hotspot forced the SCF to break and the Columbia Embayment to form just as the volcanic island arc was accreting to become the North Cascades. It is likely that this peninsula is now stuck under the Rocky Mountain Orogeny and is pivoting with the JDF/Pacific Plate causing the clock-wise rotation. Well I like dreaming!
It gets hard to comprehend mixing time lines too When contents or plates collide or rub or move eachother in ways its hard putting this back together Some can be predict able but others is like muffin batter or folded bread here in Ontario like we have been squished up but we have been really wore off too Up north they are finding 3 billion year old banded iron formation Rock rock! Lol
This stuff is great for fuzzy areas cuz people like me ask silly questions to make ya think a little different?? Like before the glacier after they melted when does this fit in the time line ? And the metor creator around mexico?
Has anyone looked at correllating the coal deposits from the Nanaimo in British Columbia, from Washington state (Centralia, etc.), and from Oregon (Coos County), with a view to determining if they were one belt at some point when the terranes were restored?
Interesting the Alberta's bad lands have dinosaur fossils But up north in British Columbia we get fossils of coral And dinosaur prints on the river banks getting erodid This was Tumbler ridge BC close to the 0 marker of the Alaska highway

Nature makes more of a mess of the fruitcake than this fruitcake mess. People finally learned long ago that earth wasn't flat, but some still somehow still see it all as flat with straight lines. If it's not flat, there has to be bending and mountains / valleys are not straight or flat. The more pressure from all sides in one area with less pressure elsewhere makes a difference. Without bending, nothing would come full circle. :)
This is a interesting way to interpret the slip fault information. However I believe the entire story is much more complicated and involves breaking up of at least some of these terrains offshore before they and the North American plate come together.
This subject desperately needs animations, to work backwards through all these events, showing each one at a time, but within the context of the whole area (ie - panning in and out) and also switching between geologic and geographic perspectives. ........imo

I wonder if the Columbia Embayment is how some of the terranes took the geologic elevator down, deep down...

Thank you WIliam Smith for your field report! Just drove by there on my way from Colfax to Tahoe this am.
Speaking of too many hours, these 2 hour lectures are serious eating into my nap time. It's a good thing can pause U-Tube.
I really enjoyed this
I watch crime pays Botany doesn't
I like how hes trying to teach about the habitat and the rock that plants and animals interactive with i love the rock part of plants but know almost nothing about the rocks
Someone recomended your channel so i can learn more
Here in Ontario we do have bedrock so close to the surface
And lost of Diggin and exploring happening its cool
I don't like how the highways blow the rocks apart but it gives us a peek inside its very interesting
Thanks hoping to binge watch your videos this winter learn some more
I'm old enough to remember when we had to make do with the built-in mic on the iPhone.
that was fantastic thank you
Is it a coincidence that the Northern "border" of the Columbia Embayment is strikingly close to the position and layout of the OWL?!?!
So sorry to miss! On an errand of mercy for my grandkids. Catching up at 12:56 pm from the sewing room computer.
The strange smell from the green rock must come from one of the minerals and makes me think of the young man from New Zealand who was doing research on Ellensburgh Blue gates and he said that he could not get garden flowers to grow in soil derived from some of the metamorphic rocks (presumably because the content of some mineral is much higher or lower than the requirements of most cultivated plants).
Wow! One sentence!
That Columbia Embayment has me really curious now. Hope he does a future video on it. Would be 🔥🔥🔥
I did feel the power of that! Thank you so much!
The terranes were together when accreted then cut in half by the Yellowstone hotspot. The hotspot melted the “melange” and built a wedge of magma between the terrain and redeposited part of it as flood basalt (German Chocolate Cake)
Wow, these are getting harder and harder, compared to what we were doing on St Patrick's Day

It gets hard to comprehend mixing time lines too
