What can a structural geologist teach us about the formation of
mountains, Nasca lines, and lost Raritan & Ethiopian ruins in New
Jersey? Recorded November 9 2020.
Geological explanation of the Nasca Lines, Peru
RVCC Science-Seminar Series
The unique tectonic setting of this site in the Andes Mountain chain
is depicted virtually using Google Earth to show how the geologic
strata are naturally arranged to funnel, store, and discharge
surface and shallow ground water into springs that were discovered,
then augmented to supply desert fields with the precious water
needed to sustain a growing, prehistoric culture. The complex
patchwork of features is shown to be systematic with respect to
water running downhill, and their relative time of formation and
utility will be discussed in light of applying historical geological
principles to solve the Nasca-line riddle. Recorded February
24, 2020.
