Lake Bonneville was a massive Ice Age lake that covered over 52,000 square kilometres of the American West until a catastrophic flood 14,500 years ago reshaped the entire region. The flood released over 4,000 cubic kilometres of water in just weeks, dropping the lake level by 100 metres almost overnight. Today, its remnants include the Great Salt Lake and the famous Bonneville Salt Flats, with ancient shoreline terraces still visible on Utah’s mountainsides. #geography #fyp #viral #usa #utah | U

The Bonneville Flood, North America’s second-largest documented flood, occurred at the end of the last ice age. Triggered by the drainage of a massive lake covering nearly 100,000 square kilometers and nearly 1,000 feet deep, it discharged at an astonishing rate of 40 million cubic feet per second. Its connection to the Missoula Flood remains a fascinating and controversial topic in geological studies. | The Randall Carlson

It wasn’t just northern Idaho that was subject to immense floods. The ending of the ice age 15,000 years ago also resulted in southern Idaho’s Bonneville flood. You can see the evidence along the Snake River. From our hour-long "Idaho Geology, A Convergence of Wonders," airing Sunday at 7.

Two colossal floods—the Bonneville and Missoula—collided in prehistoric Idaho, reshaping the Pacific Northwest. Lake Bonneville, once 1,000 feet deep, burst through a natural dam and carved out the Snake River and Hells Canyon, the continent’s deepest gorge. Meanwhile, the Missoula flood surged from the north, creating a geological showdown of epic proportions. Full Episode: https://youtu.be/EsYcnXXWu08?si=PRA8hGiwzdXZYbQH | Matt Beall Podcast

Lake Bonneville once held trillions of gallons—then unleashed a biblical flood. But how long did it sit at peak level before the breakout? Weeks? Years? Centuries? To sustain that much water, the climate had to be insanely wet. One study found only 3.3% of the lake's water came from glacial melt... Which means massive, persistent rainfall was feeding it. Until something tipped the balance—and 40 million cubic feet per second tore through the land. Still think climate doesn’t shift fast? | The Ra
