These Pools Help Support Half The People On Earth
These Pools Help Support Half The People On Earth
What are these electric blue ponds in the middle of the Utah desert? And why do they keep changing color?
Join Derek Muller (Veritasium) as he looks into the weird, bizarre, and seemingly inexplicable images found on Google Earth to discover what on Earth they actually are. It’s a travel vlog, documentary, and science show wrapped into one. It’s Pindrop.

I’m so confused… I have questions I can’t ask on here. Like seems easy to make a boom boom
I hope this comes back
7:37 seems like a supernova.
When potassium , mix with water , next is …
Bro just taught me how to make an explosive.
Each pond has a different chemical for making EBT cards.
props to the bucket
My first thought was salt ponds ,
This video is so cool.
It does not benefit everyone, the pools are toxic and kills tons of wildlife.
Look at the cobalt mines in Africa that makes the lithium work.
Every time I see anything using gunpowder in media now I’m going to remember that it’s powered by bat poop.
Just wanted to say thank you for all these eye-opening videos you make.
I really got answers to all the questions I had during this video.
One question remains, what does the end date for when the potassium will run out, and does scientists looking for alternative solutions?
Thanks
..
Enjoy this informative vid. Well done but Hunter Gathering did not actually take "all day everyday." At least not year round. If it had we would still be doing it. We would have no songs or art and no one would have figured out that the ash of their fire had a use
Here he states why eating plant based foods is actually the way it should be 17:31
Gatorade has almost no potassium. A glass of milk has way more. Like 10x’s more.
I’d love to discover a new element like element 115, I think Bob Lazar has some.
So educative
Kazakhstan,
do you have patash
what is the quality
Amazing. Thank you
Potashium
Very interesting
Kalium
ah! finally something I didn’t know
"in this world few mysteries remain" lol
for me it does …
And what person, company or Government owns this business? Is it a government agency?
Now I know how to make gunpowder with sulfur and saltpeter ayyyy
And that my friends is why you don’t drink stuff in chemistry labs
Buddy reminds me of Adam from buzzfeed
Don’t let them fool you this is heroin
What about volcano ashes?? Would it work aswell
Nitrogen pond?
Interesting 🙏🙏
I love getting these recommended every time you try a new title….
I now I get why I did not get it. Many countries call it Kalium 🙂
Human society is the most wasteful ever Burning trees, to mining, wasting water in a desert
Could be done more efficiently, with 100yr old technology
Bizarre, sick and disgusting. The Chinese Governments perverted attempt at a environmental drag show.
Is this (process, ponds) replicated around the world?
why don’t you keep on doing these videos?????
Is the blue copper sulfate intentionally added to these evaporation ponds?
Kazakhstan,
do you have patash
what is the quality
I literally saw these ponds a week ago while I was flying over Utah and wondered what they were. I figured they were salt flats, and I wasn’t far off. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Very entertaining, this is put together very well.
So the potassium Inn 🍌 aren’t real but the ones created in. Lab is? SMT
So brilliant
Good Morning,
Please MEASURE the curves of bodies of water … from water drops to oceans.
Cheers !
Im from utah and its so funny to me to watch videos like this
Hearing how they burned all those trees >:( bastards
yall i was shook when i heard derek introduce himself at the beginning of the video
i legit had no idea what his name was but i just never questioned it before
Funny how only a year ago it was ok to see the value of fertilizer. The green new deal is outlawing fertilizer. So now we choose. Do 6 billion starve? Or do we use 8x the land to farm on, which means cutting down forest. Looks to me we were doing the best we can.
Hydro Retention ponds?
