  • When did Pangea form? What mountains built during the formation of Pangea? How did Pangea affect climate and sea level?
    Continents colliding near the south pole in the Carboniferous period underwent major glaciation. This Carboniferous glaciation marked the greatest ice age of the Phanerozoic Eon (or the past 500 million years)! Coal swamps characterisitic of the Carboniferous period dried up in the Permian due to increased aridity as Pangea formed. There were two main ways that Pangea caused dryness: 1) much of the land was far away from the ocean, and 2) Pangea'c crust was very thick due to all the conintent-continent collisions, which prevented epicontinental seas from transgressing onto the continents. The dissappearance of the coal swamps led to less organic C burial and therefore increased atmospheric CO2, causing global warming. This global warming brought the Carboniferous ice age to an end.
    In terms of tectonics, the Appalachians continued to form along the margin of Euramerica (previously Laurentia) as plates continued colliding with it during the Alleghenian Orogeny, which followed the Taconic and Acadian Orogeny. The Ouchita Orogeny also occurred at this time as a southwestward extension of the Appalchian mountain building collisions. The Ancestral Rockies also formed due to forces associated with the Ouchita orogeny during the late Carboniferous. These mountains caused a rain shadow to their west, leading to large evaporite deposits across that region. The western margin of Eurameria was also undergoing mountain building with the Sonoma orogeny starting in the Late Permian and continuing into the Triassic.

    I think it's absolutely amazing that an entire separate mountain range existed before the Rocky Mountains, in the same general area, then completely eroded away. It's also fascinating that both mountain chains were formed while the area wasn't along a continental boundary, but resulted from plate impacts further southeast and west. Geology is so cool!
    But I'm a little disappointed that you talked about the Guadalupe Mountains right near where you live, but you didn't go show some geological features there. That would be a GREAT addition to this geology channel - a geology field trip! We need to see you wielding that geology hammer and hand lens you always mention in your video notes!

    I just came across your channel from a recommendation. I really enjoy how you implement the graphics into your videos. It syncs very well and provides a lot of insight as you are going over the information. Very well done. I would only say that once you get going the narrative is very fast and continuous. I know you are covering a lot of information in each video but if pausing a bit between divisional subjects under the main topic or slowing down may help the pace. After a few videos I found myself zoning out to the drone of some much talking. But really, a super channel and as I stated, the insertion of the graphic content is extremely well done!

  • @MendTheWorld
    @MendTheWorld Před rokem +2

    Another small point,... I'm perfectly happy for you to use term "coal swamp", as coal will eventually form from the sediments deposited in that tectonic setting (assuming environmental conditions are favorable), but strictly the organic matter rich sediments initially deposited would be more accurately described as peat not coal. The transformation from peat into coal takes place as the basin subsides and the peat becomes buried by overlying sediments. At the increased temperature and pressure beneath the surface, the peat is transformed into coal through a process termed coalification.
    Most of the major coal deposits in the world accumulated in foreland basin settings, which form between tectonically active mountain belts and the adjacent continental craton, due to downward flexure of the continental margin.
    But I think you covered it in enough detail. I was just adding additional info in case anyone's interested, which they probably won't be.

    • @GEOGIRL
      @GEOGIRL  Před rokem +1

      Yes, this is a great point! I didn't make up the term coal swamps, it's just what we call the Carboniferous swamps because they ended up generating so much coal after burial, but this is a great point to make so people are aware that the coal is actually only generated after millions of years if the rihgt burial conditions persist! :D Thanks for pointing this out!

    I lived in Val Verde county for many years.. The surface is primarily caliche (hard packed limestone) that I assume was originally under an ocean. I just got back from a motorcycle trip to Big Bend and the Fort Davis region so your presentation answered some of the questions about the local mountains and surrounding geology. Much of the rock has a rough red-brown hue that suggests vulcanism. These are surrounded by much lower desert plains which suggest they were part of the inland sea of what is now North America. I assume from your presentation that the mountains are remnants of the Ouachita range. Was this area very volcanically active as Gandawa and what would become North America began to collide.. Was there oceanic crust that subducted under the two plates as they collided?

    It is not setteled that increased GH caused the mesozoic warming. This is of the often occuring hen egg question. I think that the CO2 was absorbed by the Karoo ice age and when Antarctica left the pole, the albedo drasticly dropped and Antarctica melt and the warming oceans released the CO2 as a RESULT. In this video too, the tectonical movement as a global temperature FACTOR is not displayed. Which is suprising since we later on (now) see that when Antarctica moved back to the south pole, our Ice age began, which is well documented.

    A mountain range so close to the equator would have some major climate implications and smack dab on the ITZZ, probably leading to a cold and wet Nothern Hemisphere and a drier Southern hemisphere, and also creating a lot of major river systems as well as so many microclimates.
    This had to be a contributor to the mass extinction, since it would probably have lead to the evolution of many species that are narrowly adapted.

    "Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, mainly caused by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels." That's not even a correct statement. They are confusing natural climate change with human caused climate change. 99% of the climate change in earth's history had nothing to do with the actions of humans or the burning of fossil fuels.
