0:02 Great presentation! We have several 'love notes' from the glaciers here in Ohio. We have glacial grooves on Kelley's Island. River valleys were filled in by the glacier. One named Teas (tayes) River flowed west to empty in the Mississippi River. The curve of it still shows on topographical map. The glacier dammed up one of the rivers in Pennsylvania. The river used to flow into Lake Ontario. It found an outlet to the south and joined another river to form the Ohio River. There are geological formations in New York state carved by the overflowing lakes as they sought an outlet. There is a large erratic in the state park northeast of Springfield, Ohio. Fascinating information.
Bravo! Very informative and excellently presented! Best of luck!
Good video. I took a couple of geology classes at Washburn, taught by someone from the KGS. I don’t remember his name, this was during the 1980’s I think. But fun to revisit the glaciers with you!
Great video! Very informative.
Kansas used to be in an Ocean full of life and stuff. Researchers and things learned about the way it used to be by coming up with scintillating guesses and stuff.
Great evidence, especially the striations map.
Very interesting. Excellent
So interesting -well done indeed!
Great video!
well done
A few rocks/boulders didn’t quite make it to Kansas. Nebraska has about 3 or 4 of them.
Just subscribed!! Beloit resident here 🍻😎
Yep, great video. :)
I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN AN LARGE RED GRANITE ROCK IN JOHNSON COUNTY KS ON WEST 167TH RD , 3/4 MILE WEST OF EDGERTON ROAD!!
The question is, "What formed the 'Rock City' boulders in Ottawa County?"
I've been to Kansas many times...didn't see one glacier.
I've been fascinated with glaciers since I was a tiny kid because I was always told the last ice sheet ended a few miles from my home, at what is now the Missouri River of northeastern Nebraska. However, so many stories about the many ice ages seem to contradict other stories, even various documentaries from the same source. PBS, for example. Many documentaries will show an illustration of the first ice sheet. Then it shows the next ice sheet millions of years later. the next, the next, the next, AND THEY KEEP SHOWING THE EXACT SAME IMAGES. This makes me strongly think some geniuses aren't taking this very seriously. -- As near as I can tell, only one person ever documented WHERE the various Moraines are in North America--the massive hills formed at the end of an ice sheet. That was in 1906. I own a copy of the guy's book. What current documentaries are saying doesn't match where the moraines are. -- So, WHICH Ice Age did its thing in Kansas?
Interesting.Whats the name of the book?
I'm certain that is why I'm findin dinosaur bones (even possibly eggs) here in Oklahoma red sandstone. Thanks for the informative vid 👍
I’m in Oklahoma and my buddy’s dad owns a sand plant out west..He gave me several mammoth tusk fragments.
Thankyathankya!
How about the numerous very large round stones in Kansas?
I think I prefer today's warm climate.
Kansas once was bigger than it was once. Science speaker the mountain was scratched off during the creatiive period. Glaciers stretched thing out and stuff
So I see the Kansas schools are still turning out the Kansas scholars.
@@BlueAgaveStudios To be fair, he didn't say he was from Kansas.
If the were as old as they say they they were they would have top soil on them from leaves ect
What do you think happens to leaves on a rock when the wind blows? What do you think happens to soil on a rock when it rains?
It's good to maintain a critical mind, but never do so in ignorance of the subject of criticism.
Their timelines are waayyyy off.It kinda reminds me of the sun is 93 million miles away…Where do they pull these numbers from.
I dug up a rock about 2 years ago on my hill that has a perfect clam shape,ridges,etc.Its been exposed to elements about 2 years now and the sandstone has worn so much you can barely tell what the fossil is.Theres no way they are millions of years old.
Why do you show, like 6 states?
Thank God for global warming. LOL
Why is there glacial gold in SE Oklahoma 🫣
Water and erosion 👍
