As a former geologist, it’s always awesome to see some one interested in geology.
If you’re into infill from normal faulting, you might like reading up on the US Basin and Range—that’s all extension and basin fill
- 01100011 5y agoGeology is absolutely fascinating! I'm really amazed at far geologists have progressed in establishing the history of our planet. I have to thank Nick Zentner's YouTube videos(https://www.youtube.com/user/GeologyNick https://www.youtube.com/user/GeologyNick) for getting me into geology. He has a very approachable style for non-geologists. I've been looking at the geology of Nevada more since the Mina, NV earthquake storm started(2020? I forget). Geologic activity is such a slow process so it's great when you can see a burst of activity like that. I doubt I'll live long enough to see it, but I'm hoping I can see the emergence of a new volcanic cone in the western NV/eastern CA region.

I have no geology background but found it utterly riveting https://www.amazon.com/Annals-Former-World-John-McPhee/dp/0374518734 https://www.amazon.com/Annals-Former-World-John-McPhee/dp/03...
