How North America got its shape - Peter J. Haproff

How North America got its shape - Peter J. Haproff

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
North America didnt always have its familiar shape, nor its famed mountains, canyons, and plains: all of that was once contained in an unrecognizable mass, buried deep in Rodinia, a huge supercontinent that lay on the face of the Earth. Peter J. Haproff explains how it took millions of years and some incredible plate tectonics to forge the continent we know today. Lesson by Peter J. Haproff Anatoly: It's like the US west coast is probably one the most well researched geological areas on Earth, so it makes sense they've talked about this place for 90% of the duration of the video. Also, no one is obliged to make a video about Mexico or whatever, them Mexicans could have made their own teded about their own country's geological history.

O. K, Ted ed, I know youre partially Canadian, so when you do a history on the geography of North America, it means it includes ALL, of North America, Not! Just the United States of America, including Canada, and seeing as though the Canadian Shield is the oldest land mass in North America, maybe, just maybe, you might just want to give it a mention, among other geographical wonders that Canada has, perhaps a mention on Mexico, since it is also a part of the CONTINENT!

Ive always thought the Americas were shaped like some kind of monster, and the Caribbean Islands were its prey.
Great Lakes: an eye
Gulf of Mexico: the mouth
Central America: the neck
Brazil: the stomach
Chile and Argentina: the tail
Honduras and Nicaragua: the beasts most recent victim, just swallowed

I was hoping i would find out why Hudson Bay and the Gulf Of St Lawrence are the way they are and why Canada has so many lakes along with everthing else in north america because Canada is in north america.
Nope, turns out its a misleading title that should be changed to How the US got its shape

Its funny how most of the comments are people angered by the fact that the guy only talked about the US, despite the fact that he only had five minutes to talk about this so he decided to talk about the most prominent features of the continent.

Independance day is when amarica split from canada right? Since they split from us then shouldnt they have been called south canadians? Also you cant call us north amarica technically since the USA is seprate from us and we are our own country.

A great video but ignores any of North America that is not the USA (which is most of the continent. TedED videos are usually amazing, this one needs more work.
