Hike with a geologist and learn how erosion forms beautiful landscapes

Your public speaking skills are next-level. Very interesting! Thanks!

I grew up in Cody and spent most of my childhood in the Big Horn Basin and the Beartooth Mountains and now I work in the northern end of the Beartooths in an underground mine. I've been enjoying these videos as a history lesson on stuff I looked at my whole life!

I made it.

Prehistoric Air traffic control.🧠

Maybe before humanity there were Hyper human being with magical powers. Maybe they lost their power and became human. Maybe that's who we were.

Easy, water.

Ran out of Myron Cook videos, better start over 👌

Absolutely gorgeous video and education. There is 80 plus feet of sediment here in southwestern corner of Indiana, the earth according to the Bible was covered with water, God said let there be dry land, boom 80% of H2o freezes at the ends of the earth in one day? This would cause a great flow sweeping sediments down low and causing areas to be deep. Then the ice melted in fourty days in the days of Noah causing all sediment and soft rock areas to be swept clean away? Just uneducated theory. But I'm teachable and I like to hear all theory's of geology. Thank you so much!

Erosion by wind...

In a tub full of ai dialectic errors good to experience an animate being.

I always feel bad watching you hike away from your camera, knowing you need return to collect it.... love your videos

I love your method of teaching through fractal patterns.

Myron, that grass in your yard is pristine!!

Following the exploits of the Perseverance rover as it explores the Jezero Crater on Mars has been incredibly fascinating. That geologists have been able to accurately interpret this alien landscape, is thanks to the knowledge of Earth's erosional processes. They know it was an ancient lakebed due to seeing orbital photos and now video showing the crater up close. Because erosion works the same on any scale, science can learn a vast amount, without having set foot there. By knowing what rock, cut by water erosion through bedrock, looks like on Earth, Mars must have once had water also. An incredible leap in knowledge. Even better, the terrain you showed in this video, really looks similar to Jezero! Have you had any input with the JPL and NASA geologists?

Along with being a most excellent teacher it is obvious from your photos you are an artist fer sure!

I wonder how much salt was created as that region eroded away?

Worried I'm starting to get a bit of grey in my beard, but after watching this... it's just the start of my new Journey. THx

One of the biggest problems with geology is the passage of time, it's hard to get your head around it. But, when you slow it down a bit, i get it. Thank you. 👍

Top notch! I’m a software developer who’s done backend and front end work over my career and I can’t help but want to make an erosion game with layers you can select as well as some well known geological columns. It would obviously be difficult to simulate in order to produce the great visuals you’ve been sharing but I’m half tempted to try.

Wait, what about erosion from wind.?

I love Geology. I did have a class and a few field trips in college. I love archaeology and paleontology as well as astronomy. It is all so fascinating. Geology makes you stop and see the deep time of it all. Erosion is just as fascinating. Water is very powerful.

Looks exactly like Mars.

Don’t know why it took me so long to watch this amazing AMAZING video.. But I did now, and I am happy and overwhelmed by the beauty and the processes that created it all! I Love this planet so much ! It is so fascinating! But sometimes it hurts, that we, as a spieces doesn’t appreciate how miraculous it is that we even came to be.. But -Today I decide to be happy and in awe! (and tomorrow too) 🥹😀 Thank You!

Greetings from Europe. This guy makes me wanna roadtrip the us

Your lovely voice is right up there with Sir David Attenborough's, Myron! And your geology videos are wonderful to watch and to learn from. Thank you for making them for us!

It's cool how in this video you get to see the badlands, AND the development of a supercell in the background

Thank you Myron for the wonderful information. I am a recent subscriber and I have to say, your video on the salt deposit in Gulf of Mexico has inspired me to pursue a degree in geology. I have always been fascinated with the subject and have some wonderful experiences looking at the world with those eyes, but now I want more.
I love the way you present the information (reminds me of some of my videos) and the mellow energy you share. Looking forward to watching all your videos complete.

Spectacular production, Myron. Virtually seamless, makes it easy to watch.

The flood still makes more sence to me .

I am so impressed with this video. I like this collection of work and I've watched a lot of it. But this, I think, is Mr. Cook's best work. The locations are gorgeous. And the instruction is top notch. I love America's southwest. I think this work will help its beauty win many more hearts.

Thank you so much for the informative and fun video!

I'd love to set up a time lapse camera on that formation and then watch what happens after about a thousand years or so.

Have you ever looked at the stromatolite beds in the book cliffs south of vernal Utah.

Time is meaningless in geology :)

Cool. Im doing it tomorrow morning.

I love the repetitiveness of the word “Erosion” is used. My brain is super excited to feel the washing presents. Most interesting thing found by most open minded researchers is Biology is Geology.

I LOVE how you love geology. You make it so interesting. I love it too, and thank you so much for all you do. :)

These are great to watch !
Thank you for producing them Myron !
Just wish I could be there with you.

Simply wonderful. Thankyou.

Very strange case, isnt it?? Veach said he would get sick as he approached it... Also, i feel as if there are probably decoy caves... Like having hatch or veach scratches on the wall, or the military sign within the debris on the floor.... I am willing to bet there are probably more than 1 that are generally shaped like an "M"... But i dont think anyone should go looking for it. You, sir, have nerves of steel.

Were you a geology professor?? It seems like you have a very particular, but effective, method of teaching and so im guessing you have a lot of experience teaching it??

I actually do have a question... Last night, i was watching some nature/weather videos... And i saw something i have never seen before, i didnt even think it was possible!! There was an active volcano spewing out the top of the peak, while there was an apparent storm simultaneously, because i saw lightning strike very quickly and sometimes times in multiples and sometimes solitary... It was a moment where i thought about witnessing the raw power that God demands from nature, and how perfect nature is... Im often reminded daily at how God has given us something perfect and were always ruining it, even when trying to 'improve' our own lives. It feels so greedy to me.

Love your videos. I wish more of my professors presented geology the way you do, with similar demeanor. I might have taken a career path as a Geologist. However, I want to give you the kind reminder that the erosion off your driveway won’t stop unless you get it vegetated. Also, think about what tends to happen to unconsolidated slopes when they become too saturated with water. Hint, it just happened along a popular river in Canada a few days ago.

The mesas in Golden CO formed similarly via volcanic eruption. I wish I could show images in the comments here because there is a really neat lava deposit on the north mesa but here's the late long
39°46'43"N 105°13'14"W

What about wind

If I ever wanted a geo teacher this would be the guy I’d want. Good work man appreciate jt

I have seen this in miniature hunting arrowheads with softer material pedestaled under the points.
