    This was very well explained! Last week I was debating with a friend of mine that claimed that sun rays always hit perpendicularly in the Equator line. I argued that due to the tilt of Earth's axis with respect to the orbit around the sun, that didn't make sense. He quickly googled something to prove himself right, and read it to me while I was driving. So, I accepted it. But, it never quite made sense. Today, I decided to look for seasons' explanations, and came across this video. As it turns out, this video proved my argument. My conclusion from your video: The “parallel” where the sun rays hit perpendicularly moves periodically like a pendulum between -23.5 deg to +23.5 deg of latitude (a.k.a. between the tropics), with the middle point of the pendulum's trajectory being the 0 deg latitude -- a.k.a. the Equator line (“parallel”). This "pendulum" would have a period of T = 1 year.

    Wouldn’t Pb still decay at the same rate, no matter the amount of weathering? That’s kind of the point of using a certain mineral as diagnostic testing, isn’t it? That they can reliably decay at a certain rate!?! Or do they use something else like chromite for weathering?

    • @EarthRocks
      @EarthRocks 12 дней назад

      Yes, Pb would continue to decay at the same rate. However, once a mineral has experienced weathering, it is no longer a closed system. Parent and daughter could have been added or lost. Thus it is not possible to rely on the ration of Parent: Daughter to determine how much time has passed.

    I don’t think this is very clear at all. The video does refer at one point to “the sun hitting the Earth at 90deg” and later “the North Pole is further away”. I don’t think it is ever clarified fully that it is not the distance from the Sun, but the angle of presentation that creates the seasons. The OU used to explain this by using a slide projector (I know, you have to be old enough - think of a data projector), where if you angled this from the side some of the image would go beyond the screen on to the wall. This loss of image on the screen directly relates to how much sunlight, and subsequently heat, is reduced.

    • @EarthRocks
      @EarthRocks 15 дней назад

      Thank you for your feedback. You are correct that in this short video, I focus on the Earth tilting towards and away from the Sun. I highlight locations and times where the sun hits directly at 90° and where it is fully present or never present (Arctic and Antarctic circles). I do indicate that direct sunlight provides the most intense sun and heat, but I do not discuss how sun hitting at an angle less than 90° is more dispersed over a larger area on a spherical object (Earth) and thus provides less overall heat. It would be a good addition for a new version. I will add it to my list. Nonetheless, I do focus at the start on rebutting the idea that the Earth's distance from the Sun has any impact on the seasons. Perhaps because it comes at the start, it was less impactful for you, who were looking for it later on? Here is the script: docs.google.com/document/d/1GgnE_BJbENVlFSODx4M4HuNH5yv9fRlX7emCwvvIVD0/edit?usp=sharing **I will create a new version eventually, so I appreciate the feedback.

    Earth Rocks gets an "A" for first rate teaching. The best mode of learning measurement at the K-12 level used to be shop classes. The disaster of the Gates Common Core Curriculum over the last 20 years has destroyed shop classes and other hands-on learning such as Home Economics. I witnessed years of students who did not master things as basic as a twelve-inch ruler. They had no concrete grasp of measurement because the curriculum became based on increasing levels of abstraction. This lack of basics has had dire consequences when these students show up in higher education.

      @EarthRocks 29 дней назад

      Thank you for your feedback. 😀 Note: unfortunately sand wouldn’t show foliation. It’s equidimensional. To see foliation, you need an elongated mineral like actually actinolite or kyanite or hornblende. These have shapes similar to pens. Or flat planes like micas (and paper). Only these will align when put under pressure.

    Why is a Tsunami on the open ocean a shallow-water wave?

    • @EarthRocks
      @EarthRocks Месяц назад

      Because to a tsunami (from its perspective), the ocean seems like a shallow puddle. The wavelength of a tsunami is about 200 km. It thus feels bottom at 100 km depth. Anything shallower than 100 km is dragging on the tsunami wave energy and showing it down. The deepest part of the ocean is only 11 km.

    so is earth tilted to left (as in video 0.25 to 0.30 shows) or tilted right(as in most of the video shows)?. I think Left side! because Vancouver vs Halifax, NS. Means west is more tilted downwards as if earth is tilted/bent to the left and because of that Vancouver has more semi tropical plants/jungles than East end Halifax! if we tilt the globe to left then it shows how Vancouver faces more sun than Halifax! One more point In 2024 and still, why we do not have live camera view of earth from space? to see tilt, seasons, etc.

    Although this presenter implies it, it can be properly inferred that the current Sierra Nevada is its 2nd generation. Those stranded bodies of older metamorphic rocks atop later granitics are commonly mentioned as "roof pendants". While subduction conveyance provided magmatic feed for most recent uplift, the huge graben of the Owens Valley along the eastern flank of the Sierra Nevada portrays the crustal extension that aligned Mono-Inyo Craters and Mono Lake with the Long Valley Caldera. Also, while not mentioned, California's Transverse Ranges (10-11,000-ft.), which are physiographically the northern border of the Greater Los Angeles Basin, are strong indications of a distinct inland tectonic vector, approximately pushing Los Angeles toward Las Vegas. Also, the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which is offshore from NorCal, Oregon, & Washington, hosted a 9.0 quake in 1700 (tsunami registered in Japan), before Europeans began to venture into that region.

    Huh, I understand that season's are explained by the tilt of the earth. However, if the sun isn't at the centre of the ellipse, surely the winter in the Northern hemisphere is warmer than winter in the southern hemisphere. I guess light only travels in straight lines so the sun won't rly be hitting areas that don't face it. But I still feel like proximity to a giant ball of fire and gas must affect temperature to some degree?

    • @sailorman8668
      @sailorman8668 3 месяца назад

      The Earth’s global mean temperature doesn’t increase when the Earth is closest to the Sun because the very large heat capacity of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica is very slow to respond. Meanwhile the Northern Hemisphere land masses tilted away from the Sun cool rapidly during their winter pulling the global mean temperature down as incident energy from the Sun increases. Thus low heat capacity leverage of the Northern land masses affects temperature measured by thermometer more than changes in total solar irradiance during the Earth’s passage around the Sun.
