6November 14, 2020
Summary
In this episode, Randall Carlson and his crew delve into the geological impacts of megafloods, specifically focusing on the Missoula Floods and the subsequent effects these had on the landscape. They explore the timeline of these events and propose a re-evaluation of the accepted chronology associated with these catastrophic drainings. By linking these phenomena to a broader continental catastrophe, Carlson raises key questions about our understanding of Earth's past.
