      I usually use the white board because I feel like there are so many videos out there that use fancy diagrams/animations but sometimes people just need something they can follow along with and actually draw! So that is the niche I try to fill. :-) But sometimes I can't draw things well...so I use real images!

    Why are you drawing a rectangle instead of a circle?

    • @ruppertrocksgeology
      @ruppertrocksgeology Před 15 dny

      You can choose any shape for map boundaries, but when we talk about latitude and longitude it makes sense to use two vertical lines for longitude and two horizontal lines for latitude. I chose this shape because 7.5' maps are this shape at this latitude and longitude.

  • @onetwothree1950

    I would assume that since extrusive/volcanic igneous rocks cool quickly, they'd be more aphanitic whereas intrusive/plutonic igneous rocks would tend to be more phaneritic?

  • @konnividyasagar8821
    @konnividyasagar8821 Před 18 dny

    Ma'am I have doubt in terms of longitudes: 1.I agree with your statement that moving from point A to be B longitude value decreased so the object is moving west 2. But we cannot say whether the object is on east or west of prime meridian without sign, how did you say that object is on west of prime meridian? If the intial starting point was 117.5° and ending point was 117° then object could've been on any side (assuming i didn't mention sign)

    • @ruppertrocksgeology
      @ruppertrocksgeology Před 17 dny

      Hello! Great question. Assuming north is "up" on your page, we know that when the longitude increases to the left it must be getting further away to the west from the prime meridian. When the longitude increases to the right it must be getting further away to the east from the prime meridian. They numbers keep getting bigger west and east of the prime meridian until they meet at 180 degrees which is both 180 degrees east and west of the prime meridian.

      It's both! "Meso" means "middle" and there is a middle layer of air and a middle layer of earth's interior so the term is used in both places. You can tell by context clues which one someone is talking about.

  • @BrentBodine-iv2rr
    @BrentBodine-iv2rr Před měsícem

    That was wonderful! Makes sense now. Do you have a video that takes it a bit further and discusses fractional crystallization and all that stuff that is left after Bowen's does its thing and those things left that don't play pretty with the big 10 rock forming minerals ends up as an ore body or a pegmatite. I'm originally from NC and was a "rock hound" in my youth and love pegmatites :). Obviously there has to still be a lot of silica left to get silicates in pegmatites. I grew up digging around in pegmatites and hard rock mining gold. Pegmatite yield silicates combined with the left over stuff that won't bond with anything ... but there is a LOT of quartz in pegmatites. And, we had pegmatites and gold bearing ore bodies within miles of each other?? Does stuff like beryl and tourmaline fall a lot lower on Bowen's reaction series, or is just that the elements that combine to make those minerals just can't crystallize out in a melt early because they won't combine with the basic stuff in the melt. You can count the constituents of the stuff in Bowens reaction series on two hands. So all that other stuff ends up as a hydrothermal soup that makes pegmatite and ore bodies? Sorry, that's about 3 masters level university classes. Sorry, my mind runs away sometimes .....

    @BrentBodine-iv2rr Před měsícem

    Thank you so much for your videos! I am a geology student at a university (a VERY old geology student) and your videos really help in understanding topics that might be a little muddy. I have always thought the angle of repose was this magic angle that applied to every situation. Thinking specifically of fluvial crossbedding and you always read the angle of repose is some set number and that's written in stone. I live in a sedimentary area with some Penn fluvial crossbeds and can't make sense of the angle cos it don't seem like the textbooks. These are textbook quality fluvial crossbreeds, but the Penn is very eroded around here and just occurs on the tops of hills, so I an never sure if I'm looking at the Penn sitting on the Miss or just a boulder that might have moved a bit over the (lot) of years. Kinda neat outcrop because it really is just a large bolder and you can walk behind it and see the troughs. Don't think I can post a pic in comments or I would. The crossbreeds are compacted into maybe a couple of meters, so I have a good horizontal reference on top and bottom. Still can't make sense of it :). Thank you so much for your videos. I know you are making them for your students, but they really help a lot of other folks like me who are trying to sort things out.

      The velocity of the ice would not really matter. You would just need rock to be embedded at the bottom of the ice and if it flowed fast or slow, it would still scratch it as long as the pressure was high enough.
