Description

How did Earth get its coastlines? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore prehistoric coastlines, the Ice Age, and why Florida is temporary. Why does the shape of the coastline change? Learn about the continental shelf and how the Ice Age impacted the oceans. What did Earth’s coastlines look like during the Ice Age? Find out about the Bering Strait Land Bridge and how early humans may have used it to cross into the Americas. We discuss how civilization grew in stable climate and how that will change over time.

I don't get people who get on Chuck. He is consistently funny. Very respectful, and doesn't constantly interject in an annoying manner like other comedians they have worked with. Some of those guys are nonstop, and the scientist can barely get a word in. Chuck usually interjects with well placed, well-timed humor. But the best thing about Chuck is, there are moments, where he really shows his intelligence outside of his quick whit, and either says things or sums things up very well.Just had to say that after seeing people disrespect him in other videos.

I too didn’t appreciate Chuck at first. But I didn’t realize he was a comedian and have come to enjoy his humor. Sometimes he also adds some clarity to the technical discussions. Chuck is a pretty smart guy and pretty entertaining as well. I think Chuck is a good counterbalance to Neil.

100% true. I have raised my kids in Florida and when they inherit my house I am going to instruct them to sell it and move north so they can give their kids a home. Thanks for informing others. Alot of people never believe me when I tell them these things.

My late uncle worked for NOAA, he went out on Navy ships (as a civilian) and mapped the ocean floors.

My mom actually lets me watch you guys because you unlike my teachers can keep my attention. I wish my teachers were more like you guys.

It’s too bad more people (especially politicians) didn’t understand this, and take it to heart
