I LOVE THIS.... as an adult I love watching this and recalling all the lessons I learned as I was going to school. If course I also love seeing a place I love develop as a land mass and city. San Diego is my heart next to my family.
So what bothers me is the fact that when they show the sand come up from the Tijuana River valley to form the Silver Strand, WHY do they show it filling in Spanish Bight and the north edge of North Island? Those areas were not filled in until the aviation era (1930s, 1940s or so). This may lead some to think the shape of our bay was natural, but a LOT of dredging has been done over the past century and a half.
These videos is everything I was looking for. Living in San Diego you can tell big body’s of water shifted the terrain and the plates. Especially going into Ramona how did those boulders get up there in the Hills and mountains.
I thought of a man-made island offshore of Mission Beach for a airport/hotel/fishery, connected to the 8 (road and rail) and via bridges and tunnels to the 52. Based on this video it would need to rise over 400 feet above the water.

Thanks for the upload! I'm familiar with all branches of science, but I never knew the specifics of the formation of the San Diego area. Thanks again!
Dr. Pat Abbott, you sir, are a wizard.
I wondered why you can find hand size samples of nearly every rock type in San Diego represented on the slopes of the Soledad. Alluvial fan lifted up.
Very cool. Reading Pats book on SD right now. Nice to have this visual.
Really nice video, great, thanks so much.

One of the freshest mustaches in the game.

What ever happened to the SD National Bank building??? I'm just now missing it.
What's the group name of that surf music...?
Possibly The Ventures.
They don’t teach this these days
