You are doing such a good job at explaining everything and judging by how much work you put in each of your videos you must really like what you do. I am currently doing my major in geology and until i stumbled upon your channel i wasn't sure if i wanted to pursue a geologist career, but watching your videos is starting to change my mind. As you said in a previous video, its hard to find information on RUclips about geoscience compared to the other sciences and you are doing an amazing job filling that gap. Please keep it up and never lose your sweetness. Thanks for everything. 😊
Wow, this comment made my day! I am so happy that my videos can help convince you that geology is AWESOME! And a great path to pursue! ;D Thanks so much for commenting this, I hope my videos continue to be a source of both information and inspiration for you! ;)
Out of all the online resources, you explain these topics the BEST! Even though I don't major in this area, I am more and more interested due to your explanations.
Wow thanks so much for commenting this, it made my day! So glad you have become more interested from my explanations even though you are not a geo major! ;D
Thank you so much for your well explained lectures! You helped me get through mineralogy last semester and now helping me through petrology. Keep up your great work!
What an excellent video! Thermodynamics is always tricky to review let alone teach! Well executed! Im going to use this video as a review in the future. Your command of the various albeit disparate geology sub-disciplines continues to amaze! I’d have to say my favorite igneous texture is typical phaneritic texture. The typical texture of granite and granodiorites, rocks I’m currently working with! I like the juxtaposition of euhedral grains of plagioclase displaying oscillatory zonation against a fine-grained matrix. I’m vanilla, what can I say…….. EDIT: actually rapakivi granites are gorgeous nevermind I’m not that vanilla after all…
Haha! Anything but vanilla I'd say! Great choices! ;D And thanks so much for the kind words about the lecture, I am so glad you thought it was good, it always means so much coming from real geologists! :)))
Thank you for your videos! Not only do you explain the concepts well, your slides are visually representative of each topic (they are also very colorful and not boring to look at). Truly appreciate your work! Thanks :)
Yes! So glad to hear that my videos have been helpful for you! Best of luck with the rest of your classes, and let me know if you want any specific topics for future videos ;)
I absolutely love your passion. You explain everything in great detail and I'm understanding the information presented in class much better. Minerology was a bit rough, so I'm definitely trying to recap and continue to learn. Fortunately right now Petrology has been alright. But again, these videos have helped so much. Thanks you again!
It is interesting what gets a student to take interest in a subject. When you said thermodynamics, I got interested, because I recently heard that thermodynamics affects the direction of our perception of time.
Haha, they aren’t biology videos, they are geobiology! And they are no where on YT so I have to talk about it lol. Besides it’s the only way I can get to astrobiology/geology on my channel, so be patient ;)
I'll go with pegmatitic, too. I once saw a large (5 foot) boulder in a park that was course grained like a normal granite or something (I'm no expert), but had these wonderful inches long orangish pink (orthoclase feldspar?) crystals embedded in it. So cool.
Hi Geo Girl, So what accounts for Spherulitic growth in Felsic Rhyolites? The literature says they ate 'common ' in glassy rhyolites, but what I observed is 'if you find them at all-they most likely will in igneous glassy rocks' which make them Ultra rare and not common at all. Add insult to injury and although these rocks are Felsic ( basic) they are dark colored as if they are Mafic??!? after initial nucleation around a we'll formed Crystal in the melt the sperulites grow outwards in chain connected mers ( polymers) and can be Crystals of Quartz and Crystals of Felspar Polymeric growths and I have heard of quartz/ tourmaline spherulites too. Microscopically the border materials are not glass or glassy and don't break like glass but are something fused together and mostly non fracturable. I'm totally perplexed! Matt in San Diego
OMG, I am so sorry! I get on instagram so rarely (I am so bad about that), I promise I will catch up on the ones I am behind on soon! Thanks for letting me know you like the insta posts, that gives me much more motivation to go post them haha! ;)
HI there, I actually have a video all about how we predict igenous rock composition and texture by phase diagrams: ruclips.net/video/gueEJJf6YcM/видео.html Hope this helps ;)
Did you ever work with Shrinermaker (sp) diagrams? Geology is not always described by math or chemistry, but by objective .field observation, Ask the old and dead geologists who found mines and oilfields. And by the way, how does quantum mechanics enter into your lecture?
@@bhatnaseerabn6389 Have you checked out my mineralogy playlist? I have a couple crystallography videos over there ;) ruclips.net/user/GEOGIRLplaylists
Thousand thanks for your fantastc videos. Just a trck for long words, just consider them to be two words or more. I am sure you can say inter and stitial and that you can say one after the other.
It's quite funny, in German "Struktur" refers to the small scale properties of igneous rocks, whereas "Textur" is the large scale characteristics (foliation, lineation etc.)
Listening to English geology as a German is quite fun anyway. Too bad the Feldspat lost it's T in translation to feldspar. I wonder how then this strange word "feldspathoid" came into beeing.

I don´t know how I could do my Master's without your videos, thank you!!! Great explanation of everything!!!
I am so glad that you've found my videos helpful! ;D
I love the porphyric textures. it is very mesmerizing to think about the way they where formed.

Yes back to rocks 🪨! Time for me to watch and learn something new!

PS save your biology videos for your BIO GIRL channel
Haha, they aren’t biology videos, they are geobiology! And they are no where on YT so I have to talk about it lol. Besides it’s the only way I can get to astrobiology/geology on my channel, so be patient ;)

Wonderful video, I guess we need the second part of igneous textures to cover more of the textures in igneous rocks under a polarizing microscope
Outstanding work on this lecture!
I agree pegmatitic🥇
For me it's the purple lepidolite of the Harding mine NM
Thank you,, great understanding 😘
Good summary!
Great video your channel is the best! Watching from Brazil im studing for a public exam for a geology job
Loving ur classes!
Thanks! So glad you like them :)
You are the best, Thank you Rachel
Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the vidoe ;D
Lovin it can't get out.
These video was really useful and helpful.
Thank you very much!
Thanks! I am so glad to hear that ;D
hey, am enjoying your videos. makes me laugh when u cannot control few laughs ..lol. great content. keep posting more!!!!!!
Wow, thank you so much for the encouraging comment! I am so glad you like my videos and share a laugh or two with me ;)
real good video about geology and i like your lectures
Thanks! So glad to have you in my community ;D
Great work again! Thank you.
Of course, glad you enjoyed! :D
I've been working with granite for 20 years and 16 different granite shops I've seen a lot of cool Stone coming through the place
Mam u are super , amazing lecture in simple way is very rare...thank ❤❤❤ u
Aw, this made my day, thank you so much!
@@GEOGIRL you are always welcome mam, keep uploading video..
I was wonderin if u can contine talking about the other texture like amygdaloidal texture and poikitic and ophitic and sup ophitic etc...

Nice 👍 video
I've got a big collection from the volcanic areas in California. Even have some pillow basalt.
New subscriber here looking forward to seeing you and your mind .
Gibbs free energy! Wow. It has a name!! The chemical bond I asked about in the beginning oh I am stoked, this is amazing 💖
Hi, how we know igneous rock texture by the composition anortite & albite (diagram phase) ?

Aww thank you, you're too sweet! ;)
@@GEOGIRL most welcome, i need some concepts regarding wiith crystallography

Can an ultramafic rock continue to grow on the surface, after it’s been cut??

Where can i take your slides ? 😍❤️❤️❤️
Gonna watch this because our PPT is too long 😵💫
Gr@titude ❤🎉❤
She:Again however I'm sorry...
Me: pls proceed 😅..fortunately I'm getting your point
I'm strangly arroused...Gneiss! (Even though I understood schist!)
Im off to a place called eastfork in ameila oh
Btw you are so beautiful 🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 😅
Thank you ;)
