I live on the edge of Wisconsin’s “Driftless Region” and I believe my house stands on the terminal moraine. Wish you were here to open my eyes to it the way you do for your area. What a treasure!

As you travel around Washington examining rocks you will notice that they all have small chips in the surface. That's because of geologists with hammers.

"Glacial moraines are like the chalk line (...) The body's been hauled off to the morgue, but we've got the line" - lovley parallel. Possible only in America.. ;-) Joking aside - very entertaining and very educative video, like all of them other videos and lectures by Nick. Watched them all, loved 'em all. Thanks, Nick.

You just did this area because you like to say hummocky topagraphy. Excellent usage of the tower behind you as a reference for the ice!

Thanks for posting this. I hope your students apprciate this. You (and possibly your team) clearly put hours into thinking through the field sites, the script and the shots, not to mention the editing. And likely multiple takes. At ca. 05:00 your reaction when you look through your eyepiece at the sample is pretty awesome, too.

Question: Did water and wind erosion calculations played a part in the mapping of glacier boundaries? If so, how many iterations were used in the simulations of events? Just curious. Ohio is an endpoint of glacier activity. I observed a wide variation of characteristics at the end points of Ohio glaciers. Thank you for your work. I enjoyed every presentation. Ed

THANK YOU! We love Roadside Geology. For decades we have always been interested in Geology, different aspects. The Boss (wife) is going back to school in her 50's for Geology. It is these video downloads that keep her so excited on the topic. We hope you are able to do more videos on Roadside Geology. Thanks again.

Never been to Washington.... wasn't interested.....after watching several dozen of Nick's videos I'm doing a road trip next spring......

Excellent !!! Could you analyze the tiny fragments that the glaciers have ground down from larger rocks ? Such as gravel, sand, silt, and clay ?

Nick Zentner Would the glacier rock all be gravel, sandstone, and sand, or might also be silt and clay?

>^. .^< Think of a Moraine as the snow that is pushed up infront of the snowplow/Glacier that was pushed up at the end of your driveway. The only difference is that snow melts into water and the water ends up in the ocean and disappears from your driveway. But a moraine is all the stuff pushed infont of the snowplow's front edge of the glacier and since it does not melt, that stuff remains there for thousands, hundred thousands of years or even longer.... Often moraines are U shaped since the center of the glacier travels faster than it's edges......

+Nick Zentner ...Awesome. I'm an electrician but I'm also a closet geologist with zero training. I get my information from people like you. I found the geologists study of the unreliable rock under the Oroville Dam main spillway particularly interesting. This is the good stuff from the Internet.

Geologists only think and talk about periods of millions of years. They have different methods for determining the age of rock layers. However, there is one small problem. Ancient books tell us that a cycle of natural disasters threatens the earth and all living things. The cause of this cycle of disasters is a ninth planet in our solar system orbiting the sun in an eccentric orbit. Features of the natural disaster include a massive tidal wave, higher than the highest mountain, flooding, storms, rain, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and a fiery asteroid bombardment. That planet is surrounded by a gigantic twisting cloud of dust and meteorites. That cloud obscures the atmosphere, pollutes the water and covers the whole planet Earth with that dust. At the end of the crossing of this planet 9, the earth is covered with a horizontal layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of sea and land animals, shells and the deposit of that dust cloud and asteroids. So in every layer on our planet we will find material of the same antiquity, perhaps many millions of years old: the deposit of extraterrestrial clay and meteorites. Even the youngest, topmost earth layer, which is less than 6,000 years old, also includes the same very old deposit. If you don't know about this cycle, you have no idea how our history has evolved. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
