    It's like a "present" at the end of the day to find a new edition of PNW geology from Nick. THANK YOU!

    Keep following your instincts Nick, strongly believe this concept is the future of teaching. Future generations will "stand on the shoulders of giants" to make connections and accomplishments based on information that is this accessible and delivered in a way any enthusiastic person can engage with.
    Very grateful for each of these, and absolutely love when you connect , reinforce, and solidify ideas and thoughts back into the bigger themes so effortlessly.

    Ok so its now thursday morning, 2am mpls Swakane Gneiss and also opened nick's Exotic S from one year ago, also the Swakane Gneiss with both open now listening to my favorite person talking Geology with examples; what fun! thanks Nick.

    Great stuff Nick! As a Mechanical Engineer I'm not much of a "Rock Licker" - but heck, I'm almost willing to give them 'taste' when watching your videos.
    It's quite exciting to step out of once's area of expertise and learn something new. If for no other reason than to be humbled by how little we still know and understand about the big living rock we all live on. Thanks for dedicating your time and effort to share your knoweledge, expertise and passion on the subject.

    Thanks for taking your time, demonstrating how to look at the scene, how to break the rock and then how to dissect the components. It’s teaching at its best (and I’m learning more and more).

  • @Mahukaawenui
    @Mahukaawenui 2 роки тому +2

    Good video again. Thanks. Im driving thru there on the 10th and hope to have time to take a look for what I'm learning. The only humble suggestion I have is when breaking open the rock with your hammer I find "Hassan Chop!!" tends to work better than a simple "Haiyah!!"

    Nick Nick Nick! Thank you brother. I appreciate you very much. You have turned me on to a whole new exploration of nature. I hike pretty regularly in Santa Clarita California, and the geology is very different here, but I am listening and watching to your videos, and applying what I can in my explorations locally. It is so exciting man, thank you very much!

    Went to bed too early! At least I got to wake up to Geology class! Thanks again Nick for another look at the Swakane Gneiss which is now embedded in my word suggestions but had my closed captions on and it still hasn't figured out what we are talking about. That is what I get for watching historical Chinese Costume Dramas. Happy Anniversary Baja-BC!🎆🎉🎊! Again, Nick, thanks, and I'm looking forward to the class next semester!

    look forward to learning more. Mr Z is okay with me

  • @Rachel.4644
    @Rachel.4644 2 роки тому +2

    This is really interesting, thank you! Not only is it pretty and historically intriguing, but "swakane biotite gneiss" is the one term I remembered from Charlie Mason's WVC adult ed class years ago. (Not that I understood it.... 😉 )
    Joy!! 🌞

  • @thegoodstuff8717
    @thegoodstuff8717 2 роки тому +1

    Wow --this is great. I was a geology student at SOU --years ago. We did a field class to the Grand Canyon with a side trip to that slice of granite pluton in Arizona that makes one see these intriguing connections.
    I've been fascinated with these exotic terranes ever since.
    Looking forward to the Baja.

  • @douglasfur3808
    @douglasfur3808 2 роки тому +8

    Well that's a lot of stuff going on in one road cut. The metamorphic rx there might be cousin to those in the Siskiyous, or California or Mexico? Could the quartz vein be similar to the mineralization that produced the copper mine up at Holden? Nice stuff.

    Olalla, BC. comes from the chinook jargon for berries. A refernce to the abundance of Saskatoon berries.

    Very pleasant surprise, mid- week class with the "Rock king "Mr. Nick. So how fast, or slow did the Baja Xpress, move? How big are we talking about? And how did it manage to stay relatively intact? Yes, I know too much too soon thank you ALL stay safe

    @johnnash5118 2 роки тому +1

    Considering the minimum of transport, could the Swakane be part of the missing link between the rotated Klamath and Blue Mtn.Terranes? (Mathematically, the distance is @390 miles to S. Oregon- 47.64 deg. N. minus 42 deg. N.= 5.64 deg. One full degree equals @69 miles. Of course, this doesn’t account for topographic variations. -Rain Man.)

    Here's another article from these guys. "Provenance and metamorphism of the Swakane Gneiss: Implications for incorporation of sediment into the deep levels of the North Cascades continental magmatic arc, Washington" Kirsten B. Sauer; Stacia M. Gordon; Robert B. Miller; Jeffrey D. Vervoort; Christopher M. Fisher Lithosphere (2018) 10 (3): 460-477. Fascinating article with maps I followed while listening to your lecture until you brought out your map (then I came back).

    Around 1:40 it looks like there is a very dark grey layer of hard rock up the slope a bit, with much lighter rock below. Is this all Swakane Gneiss? What accounts for the very different colors/albedo?

    G'day from old stable Australia. There is a huge movement story in the geology of W and NW North America. Not much going on here, if you discount Australia crashing into SE Asia in the future. Maybe we could drive from Melbourne to Siberia and reverse the path of our indigenous peoples.

  • @AvanaVana
    @AvanaVana 2 роки тому +1

    I don’t think I’d call it “Mojave BC”-“Baja BC” comes from the fact that if the theory is true, part of BC would have traveled northward on a continental-scale dextral transcurrent fault, which is exactly analogous to the way “Baja California” has migrated northward on the dextral San Andreas fault. It can’t be “Mojave BC” because it’s the migration of “Baja California” that the theory is referring to, not the Mojave.
