Nick Zentner, lecturer in geology at Central Washington University and star of the PBS show, “Nick on the Rocks,” takes us on a geological journey to answer the questions: How have geological forces in the Pacific Northwest operated over the course of millions of years to create the landscapes we see today? And how do we know what happened to form our mountains, coastlines and other features? Follow Nick on YouTube@GeologyNick or watch @CascadePBS Nick on the Rocks.
