Bro touches the fault and unleashes a massive earthquake
🤣
No nuts involved
Yeah, just errupted here in iceland and its a big one, coincidence?
"My fault."
It’s his villain power, he is known as the “Thug Shaker” and he Quakes the Earth with his evil plates.
Put your finger on the fault ❌
Repair the fault ✅
;-)
Ah yes, casually applying flex seal on it, with several strips of flex tape for reinforcement, on a geological fault.
Earthquakes are no more, millions will prosper.
@@verticalflyingb737earthquakes have fallen; billions must prosper

You can't repair any plateau boundery fault.
Makes me wonder how strong that damn squirrel was.
We pay respects to the beloved squirrel 🐿🥜
Scrat is a giga Chad, no one can kill him, even god because he's literally the god

It's really nobody's fault, sometimes these plates just break. 😁

Arrrgghghhhhhh!!!

I never knew plate boundaries could be seen this easily on the surface! That's so awesome!!
Yep!
have u even seen the san andreas fault?
And so thin at the same time, I thought they going to be huge tho, like the boundaries were like 1 kilometer huge line of hilly rocks, or smth like that...
If you have seen a mountain or mountain range before there normally where the two fault lines meet
@outtherelearning cool channel and answers, you deserve way more subs. should be allowed to transfer a couple million subs over to you from the hundreds of other useless brain-rot channels!
What did one plate say to the other when blamed for an earthquake? "It's not my fault!"
😄
Awesome
🤣
GET OUT
😂😂😂@@mikehawk6918
OP: *puts a finger and the plate break
People in Japan: YAMEROOOOOO!!!!!!
*Japan sinking intensifies*
why did i read this in a anime voice 😂
*Fukushima is recreated in 2024*
Bro 😭
why i imagining the terrfied nhk news reader on 311 videos😂
Truly amazing to think that a seemingly innocent-looking "little" crack could actually be a profound Earth structural feature. I mean, you could literally miss that without a thought if you didn't know just where you were at and weren't looking specifically for it.
Indeed so!
A good example of Looks can be decieving
@@CTzons Yep, happens a lot in nature
@@OutThereLearningyou should watch Tom Scott’s video on this
is this a joke are are yall dumb?
when tectonic plates were taught to me in preschool, I thought my teacher meant that there were invisible dinner plates hovering around in the air all around us
I hope you have a different idea now?
@@OutThereLearningNo, no, this is objectively funnier.
I thought they were shaped like plates but more spherical so as to fit around the earth
We can make a religion out of this
my dad taught me them when i was very young and he used dinner plates as a demonstration so i didnt get the idea out of my head for years
Never knew plate boundaries could be very easily seen like this.
I think seeing this plate boundary during an Earthquake would be very awesome.
Even though the Alpine fault is hundreds of kilometres long, there aren't many locations at all where it is exposed like this. This is the best known. Cheers
You should look at the San Andreas Fault in California. Because it is a transform fault line, you can see where hills have been split and offset from their other halves.
Legend has it, the squirrel is still causing it
that damn squirrel
Hey..his name is Scrat!
And he's a sabre tooth squirrel
immortal tectonic god
Imagine if just putting a slight bit of pressure on that fault intersection could cause entire earthquakes in multiple countries 😳
Sshhh! :-)
If that were possible the USA would have weaponized it already
I am glad that's not the reality! Imagine that kind of "godly" power in human hands.. :s
That would be very "bad" wouldn't it
It requires the most unexpected tool to do so
A nut
And click on this man’s video, “The Greatest Ever On-Land Fault Movement.” He is right there measuring the fault movement on the land, with both a drone and a long tape measure. It’s awesome 🏆🏆.
Why thank you very much!
0:18 you can say the earth is biting his finger
My tiny country (Costa Rica) sits on like 5 plates. I'd LOVE to see the fault where most of em' come together and grind and shift against each other
Why does your description sound sexual to me? Have I been on the internet too long?
Wait what? You love to see them grinding? 🤔🤨⁉️
my condolences for the earthquakes
@@DBT1007 I would love to see the spot where they all/most come together and witness it, yes. The fact that it happens is tragic and inevitable, I'd just like to see the fault with such detail like in this video.
Costa Rica only has one plate: Casado.
The other ones do not matter.
This reminds me of a time when I was at a small evolution conference in Kaikura. We took a side trip to see the K-Pg boundary in a little gorge carved by a stream. The problem was that, while we knew it was there somewhere, we didn't have a geologist with us, so we had troubles locating it. Eventually we decided it was where there was the highest density of drilled holes, which we figured were from (probably student) geologists taking cores.
Sounds like Woodside Creek. You are quite right, the KPg boundary is where the drill holes are.
There's a K-PG boundary layer exposed near Trinity Colorado. No drill holes, but you can see where the boundary's been dug out by collectors.
I legitimately thought this was some 3D mountain range model you had until I noticed the wet mud. Very cool stuff!
Reminds me of the Doctor Who quote when he was talking about a crack in a wall: "two pieces of space and time that should never have touched."
can't wait for this to get 1 million views.
That would be great :-)
This is the coolest thing that ive seen in a while! Never thought id see something like this ... Kudos!
Thanks! That's great!
Thank you for sharing. That little clip made my day!
Great!
one of the touchings of all time
This is what I wanted to study along with Paleontology.
It always fascinated me to see clear as day the physical evidence of the changes our world has gone thru.
That damn squirrel again
Wow bloody brilliant pal
I love learning from these posts you upload. Thanks kindly for sharing knowledge 👍
Cheers!
I really need to go here. So cool
Interesting. So interesting in fact, that I may or may not randomly remember this at some point in the future.
All that needs to happen now is for that squirrel from Ice Age to wedge his acorn in there and let the chaos begin
That is why squirrels are banned in NZ...
@@OutThereLearning hehehe
From Costa Rica - thank you so much Julian for wonderfully presented videos! While on my one-and-only visit to NZ North Island a few years back I was constantly amazed at the unique rock formations which abound over there. 'Castlepoint', situated on the Eastern side of the Island was for me particularly fascinating.
My pleasure!
Fantastic !
Cheers!
Please a video marking a spot to see the spots move away from each other. Never doubted faults before but might as well prove it.
In New Zealand the faults are mostly locked - meaning there is no movement along them except during earthquakes. Here is a GNS video that illustrates the point ua-cam.com/video/RrxsmIHake0/v-deo.htmlsi=jxIAmic-A_kll2-M
And here is another to show what happens to a marker across the fault when there is a quake: ua-cam.com/video/JVttCngC-ko/v-deo.htmlsi=caZBhf13POytQbcj
@@OutThereLearningthanks for that. Very kind
I took a class on earthquakes and volcanoes in college, and we had a field trip to FREMONT, CA to look at the Hayward fault. We walked all over town tracing the fault and seeing the surface effects, and the last stop was in a bar that was right on the fault and had a crack going through the concrete floor and into the ladies room.
edit- my bad, it wasn't Hayward, it was Fremont which is the next town southeast of Hayward.
Nice one lol!
There's a small creek in Oakland that flows down a hill, makes a 90° turn as it then follows the Hayward fault for maybe 50 meters, and then another 90° turn as it continues down its "original" path from about 50 centuries ago. I took a picture of my standing with one foot on each side of the creek, as the earth ripped my feet apart at the blistering speed of one meter per century.
@@d4b We have many similar offset rivers and other landforms in NZ too ua-cam.com/video/LUsIIJwxPYU/v-deo.htmlsi=xuLN7Lzyqd1zeFRS
@@OutThereLearning Neat video; thanks! I think the difference is that the Hayward fault is constantly moving, more or less steadily, so the water was able to gradually follow the fault and use the same exit channel.
Hi, I'm the female crack inspector
Second door on the left...
I can't believe these are in our stars. Amazing
I'm sceptical it's that simple, wouldn't there be many cracks running in the vicinity of the double plate joint making it difficult to determine which belongs to which?
Thanks for your question. The rocks on each side of the fault are absolutely distinct. You can see better on this more detailed video if you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/rJS2ZQFqRug/v-deo.htmlsi=yqtK0PBgUiSinaJJ Cheers
@@OutThereLearning Thanks, that video's certainly very well explained and convincing.
Nothing a little hot glue can’t fix😉
aye!
wow that's so cool!
It is!
This is SICKKKKKK
I”ll take your word for it
If you would like to see more context, this vid should help: ua-cam.com/video/rJS2ZQFqRug/v-deo.htmlsi=CrNPZ3NpuwnjXF5Q
these are just some rocks bro
There's more to rocks than meets the eye :-)
Oh wow that’s so cool!!!
I guess that's another valid reason to want to go to New Zealand.
The way the camera shakes when he touches the fault, making it look like an earthquake is gonna happen 😭
Interesting, I'm surprised that it would be so well defined.
I work in a greenstone shear zone type gold deposit and our shear zones are much less distinct. The fault zones are composed of hundreds of smaller faults and there isn't one single contact, but just many smaller ones and deformed zones.
I'd really like to go here myself!
Same! That would be awesome.
Geology rocks and geography is where it's at.
So would I. I want to put my finger right there at the junction of the two tectonic plates!
Very cool
Cheers!
Me: *pokes the crack of the fault*
People probably at the other side of the world: Something's wrong I can feel it
Bros bound to become the next earthbender
Fascinating
It is!
Thats cool
This guy: Today imma be the squirrel for m the ice age.
Maybe a dumb question, but how would one know that this is the exact boundary line, and not just some random crack in a random rock? Both sides look similar to me
Very fair question. The location has been studied by geologists for years. If you are interested this video should provide the answer: ua-cam.com/video/rJS2ZQFqRug/v-deo.html
Its all just really big rocks with cracks that shift all over at the end of the day
Bro thats so amazing 😍😮
That top surface of the Australian plate, is exactly how I'd imagine the surface to look like. All ground up, fractured rock as though it's been through a stone crusher.. 👌
Yep
Two reasons to "subscribe", the excellence of what is offered on this channel, and the wonderfully irreverent comments below :) = "it was already broken Mum, it wasn't me"
Thanks!
Why did the thumbnail of this video make my day?? 😂😂😂
No idea...
I wonder why I clicked on this, but I don't regret it.
that’s cool
Bro is a Giant
Never point fingers at someones faults
Keep an eye for a squirrel with an acorn. He might just be lurking around near this fault
To the average person this would have just been another rock with a crack
Thank you for pointing out the significance of this
True - you would easily walk past it without realising!
and you can see a tiny little side fault caused by the main fault. Just like there is on other large faults (like all those little side faults near the San Andreas.) cool.
“And now I can put my finger on that fault” famous last words
🙂
I would do that many years ago when I was in Iceland, but not with a finger. I would just jump back and forth: "Now I'm in Europe." - "Now I'm in America." - "Now I'm in Europe", etc.
Imagine he touches a side and he accidently pushes an entire tectonic plate.
Me pulling up with a duct tape:
*Applies a strip of duct tape and pats it in a reassured manner*
"That ain't goin' nowhere."
:-)
someone with an acorn has the chance to make the funniest thing ever
How can we tell you are not just pointing towards a random rock there?
That is a very fair point. This video should show you more of the context: ua-cam.com/video/rJS2ZQFqRug/v-deo.htmlsi=dNJxg_27_oh3IhxC
I've touched the boundary too between Philliphine Sea Plate, Amurian plate, and Okhotsk microplate in Boso peninsula, Japan. Cooler than country boundaries.
There is something really cool to it
Sure is!
Subscribed, Sir .
Imagine plate just decided to shift at that exact moment 💀
Hmm...
Bro forgot he ain't scrat
So interesting.
Cheers!
useful video :)
Interesting. Would've been nice to see a wider shot or more panning of your surroundings. I couldn't feel the scope of such a planetary feature with the angles.
This video has wider views: ua-cam.com/video/rJS2ZQFqRug/v-deo.html
@@OutThereLearning Thank you, just checked it out!
You can see where the textures meet in the simulation.
Oh boy!!!
Cool.
Make several photos and come back next year to see if there are differences. Ther have to be slight few centimeters of shift.
No gradual movement. Been tested.
That damn squirrel!
“Heh, I wonder if I push just a WEEEEE bit harder…”
*crack*
“Oh SH**!”
I would love to go there and touch these plates for myself, just incredible. I am lucky enough to live in Aotearoa NZ, and I have walked/tramped/struggled!! up a river near Seddon where earthquakes tumbled massive boulders into the river, ( I'm not sure now of the name of the river), but now sadly unable to. Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge with us on these amazing videos on this channel for us to learn and enjoy.
Thanks for enjoying the videos and sharing your enthusiasm! !
Having the power of stopping whole planet from evolving:
Please someone put some glue on it, so we can avoid earthquake. lol
dude would've split the planet in half if he pushed a bit harder
*brings a jackhammer*
That damn squirrel
I know...
Looking right at a tectonic plate boundary makes my autistic mind explode
*Of course, the Australian plate had to be the one that is 'Down Under'* 😂 🦘
:-)
When he touched the fault line I swear I felt a shake
Bro crossed the border
earthquakes are when people do this but it goes wrong
I expected him to mention that he could feel some kind of vibration
What type of rock is that?
Relatively young gravels on the right, fault gouge and cataclasite on the left.
This is so damn cool
So is your comment! Thanks!
*touches tectonic plate* causes massive earthquake cutely
Wouldn’t want to drop your keys in there.
