Feedback on Geology Diagrams Requested

might move the illustration vertically about 1/8, the bottom labels get obscured by the captions

Hello, Tony. I thought the illustration was clear, and your explanation concise. That topographical map you show at about 4:00 reminds me of what Lake County looks like from the air, what with all the Moraines we have up here. I really liked the "ant farm" looking thing that demonstrated thrust faults and how they are formed.

Illustration made total sense and the sand demo made even more sense! I am definitely a visual learner. I will say I think you are finally getting me more interested in geology because of how dramatically it effects the local ecology. Thanks for widening my perspective of the world!!!

Absolutely in 100% agreement with the drawing/sand demo combo. I've heard you describe the process as a rug being pushed up against a wall before and pretty much understood it- but, the illustration and video combo really cemented it in my mind.

The drawing was perfect, but the sand demo really helped as well.

Sand demo + drawing really covered it all!

The diagram is sick. Always love your art. You talk kinda fast when you explain it though, maybe go a bit slower next time. But yeah man not hard to follow at all.

I like the black and white for our color blind friends. I wasn’t sure what the two heavy black horizontal lines were. I was thinking the top one may be the surface of the earth. I was then wondering if a blue sky would help. The arrows indicating direction of thrust: I wasn’t sure if they were slip faults like in the San Andreas (going north south). So I used the sand and the other images to make sense of the drawing. As a stand-alone drawing (without the sand) I would have questions about how to orient my brain to: where is the sky/earth surface? Are these up and down movements or over the earth movements?

The sand demo is great. Very clear illustration.

Ay, ya did a nice job! Sure as shit helps when you add the diagrams. I think Spencer's addition above about the salt horizon is a neat addition to it.

It's all good, the illustration, sand demo and carpet on a hardwood floor analogy. I got it.
