  • From towering mountains to pebbles along a river, the Earth is made of a huge variety of rocks. In today's episode, we're going to follow the rock cycle of a piece of granite in the Himalayan mountains, and as you'll see, every rock has a far-reaching story to tell often millions of years in the making.

      Yeah, it would be great to see them cover basics of Physical Geology, Historical Geology & Paleontology, Minerals & Rocks and geological structures.

      The Great Courses series on geology is taught by a guy with degrees in both geology and chemistry and he puts both of them to use in his lectures.

    Rock 1: Probably a harder rock type!

    I was fascinated with rocks as a kid, I even had a collection of granite stones that were different colours. Sadly, one day my sister chose to use the container housing said stones as a weapon; I lost a tooth; and some of my passion for rock collecting lol

    like an ocean wave afraid to hit the shore because it'll crash and die 🌊

    I have the smallest possible gripe with this video. At 2:34, Alize says 'radius of 960 km', but the graphic in the video shows that the diameter is 960 km.
    Ultimately not important, but just wanted to point it out in case you guys decide to reupload.
