Sharing the Fascinating Ice Age Floods Story Since 1995
The Ice Age Floods is such a large and varied subject it is often difficult to understand through the written word alone.
So we’ve put together a playlist of videos that can help you better visualize and understand the story.
They may also give you some visual perspectives and some idea of things you might wnt to see for yourself.
And if you want to delve deeper into Pacific NW topics (geology, Ice Age Floods and other topics), please check out our YouTube Playlists.
In this video, I go over how cooling lava sometimes fractures into remarkably geometric columns… From Iceland to Scotland, we explore the physics behind columnar jointing, why basalt often forms hexagons, what controls the size and shape of the columns, and why some lava flows develop spectacular columns while others don’t. – Geology Girl
The Giant’s Causeway is a rock formation that is so otherworldly that it seems like it was made by supernatural beings. But these incredible hexagonal columns of rock aren’t the result of giant masons. They formed through a quirk of volcanic activity that shows that hexagons really are the bestagons!
