Let's talk about rocks.
The Geology of Mt. Vesuvius + a walking tour of Pompeii
This video goes into the geologic origins of Mount Vesuvius in the Campanian Plain region. Mount Vesuvius is considered to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of its proximity to the city of Naples, Italy and the surrounding towns on the nearby slopes. Tune in to find out why it's here, and how the ancient Romans used local rocks to build the walls and structures of Pompeii.

Installing Seismometers in the Mojave Desert | UT Austin
Переглядів 2075 років тому
This footage documents the setup for deploying seismic sensors in the Mojave Desert for the Broadband Seismic Experiment. The data harvested from these sensors will be used to study the fault systems within the Eastern California Shear Zone, and it further shows how high-quality data can be collected using lighter, portable instruments. The project is led by post-doc Rob Porritt and Professor T...

Did you go through the cave?
Nice fairy tale at the beginning
Awesome! Hope you do one about El Cap. And maybe some about different kinds of rock... For ignorant rock climbers like myself who know almost nothing about geology this is amazing.
I just came across this channel. Young lady, you definitly did your homework. Are you a geology graduate today? 😂 🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜❤️ Recent news. Are you aware the Franklin orogeny is now identified as the oldest mountain range in North America? 😊
Fascinating and informative!!
Why the color? Tiny percentages of this chemical or that, is the classic way minerals get their colors. But have you noticed that amazonite has a different crystal form than microcline? Totally a guess on my part, but it'd be interesting to find out what the experts think about the crystal shape. Only 1 cm qualifies as pegmatite? Yeesh, that's like 90% of the rocks around here. Liked your explanation of crystal growth though. I was on the eastern side of Pikes Peak last week, and found plenty of amazonite, also one (of what I think is) colorless topaz. Every bit of quartz I've seen on that side of the mountain has some smokiness to it (radiation damage), but this crystal was perfectly clear, and the luster seemed wrong for quartz too. Unfortunately it was a broken fragment and so the telltale shape of topaz was not present. I need a sensitive scale so I can check specific gravity. There's a UA-camr who calls himself Everything is Spirit, who does a lot of prospecting in the Terryall and Lost Creek areas (north of Lake George). The guy is a bit weird, but super knowledgeable. When he's on a good pocket and the sun sets, he keeps digging, "Oh, hello Mr. Moon." But he seems mostly harmless. Finally, last year I bought a vacant lot in the neighborhood of that lady who pronounces amazonite, azamonite. Good times ahead.
I know someone (living in Colorado, and living withing walking distance of an amazonite outcrop) who calls it azamonite. I could not convince this woman that she had the right letters, but in the wrong order. Realizing it's sometimes called Amazon stone might have helped, as everyone knows of the Amazon River, but no one's ever heard of the Azamon River. 😝
AWESOME info!! Thanks for the effort
This has a chill 90’s vibe 😎
The dog needs more camera time.
My dad used to take K-state students on field trips to the Arbuckle’s. He was a petroleum geologist.
Back in '78 I was camping out on top for the night and when i woke up at about 2 am there was a full grown female cougar sitting next to me, she saw me awaken and leaned over and smelled me up and down and then sat back down and enjoyed the warmth of my camp fire. She was gorgeous and and hung out with me for about 10 minutes and then went on her way. I like to think of that as a spirit guide visiting me that night.
I'm from Colorado springs and a few miles from the best specimens in the world. I have a 20 acre claim that I mine at and we also pull world class topaz
My great, great uncle, Acosta is the oldest documented miner to discover the cinnabar and other minerals in the big bend area during the mid 1800s.
Mount bonell is one of my favorite places in all of austin to hike. ⚒️💎😁
Great Video! I am going to show this to my structural engineering firm. On Friday for a little happy hour and then we are going to watch this video. Great job!! If y’all are still in town…should come by and visit us at Copeland Engineering, UT ‘95!! Hook ‘Em!
utep kidd station
this couldn't have been a more perfect video for me to find. i'm always happy to see another woman explaining geology-- maybe im misandrist but i think we do it better
Love the claymation. And the information, too. And the night sky at the end. Thank you.
Nicely done. Thank you.
I went up the Jungfrau yesterday, absolutely incredible!
Good videos. Where is this crew located? Are you grad students?
thank you for the animations. Enchanted Rock was where us Llano kids just starting to drive, would load up kin and friends and head down there to hike and climb the rock, and go through the cave at the back. I love this place.
Awesome video. Maybe check out the St. Francois Mountains next? Their ancient calderas formed 1.485 billion years ago in southwest Missouri. Love the geology!
Sorry, but your information is based on the theory of evolution, which you erroneously speak of it as "fact" when most of it is estimated.. Since you don't know, you added millions of years, to try and make it believable. Many scientists disagree, so, please, stop misrepresenting evolution as fact.
Catastrophic worldwide flood far better explains this geology.
It’s just what the evidence suggests. I don’t know why god would create so much evidence to suggest an older earth. I personally believe that an old earth is not a barrier to belief. The billions of years for the evolution of the universe is a flash in a pan for an eternal god. God’s glory is amazing. We can’t understand it, and in my opinion, you need to be comfortable with not knowing. You can get closer to understanding by for instance, getting a phd in geology. Then come back and complain after that if you still feel the same way.
Rock don't lie. And their age doesn't lie. Period.

Good job. I've been to Big Bend nearly twenty times since 1971 but have never been to the mine. Going again in March 2024... Will try to make it then.
Super rad, thanks
This video is exactly what I needed! My Structural Geology class is going on a field trip there later this week. I've been reading the suggested reading for the trip, but this ties everything together nicely.
So I work at Turner Falls and I find lava rock at our properties constantly. So no information on an active volcano ever being in the mountain region. Explain to me why I am finding large volcanic rocks at the park?
What fun! Thanks for the informative and entertaining video. Not many people know that three of the most ancient mountain ranges in North America are in Oklahoma- the Arbuckles, the Wichitas and the Ouachitas. I’d like to learn more about the Wichita range. Will you go there?
Heading to Big Bend in a few weeks, and was struggling to find geology content. This is interesting, approachable and cute graphics - thanks!
Good information in this video, but you need to enunciate and speak more clearly.
I've read about lead as the cause of color in amazonite.
When I was 12, I tripped and fell on a cactus at Enchanted Rock. Thought y’all ought to know.
That was a great explanation of very complex stuff. Thank you so much. I was climbing some of that limestone yesterday 😁. Greetings from México
I’ve been to Mount Bonnel and Bartons Springs. Amazing to witness such rich geologic history of Austin TX.
Just took a road trip to El Paso this past weekend. Super freaking coooll
thank you very intereesting as ever!
Thank you for the very interactive and educational video!
Awesome video, thanks. How far is the "parking" to the mines? Can you drive all the way up to the mines?
Yes, you can. I've been to this mine twice.
Sounds like a class book report for school . Well done
I like the Orogon stories that funny to my nerd side 🤣
Great job !
This was very helpful for my class of 7 siamang apes, good job!

The book, "Quicksilver: Terlingua and the Chisos Mining Company" by Kenneth Ragsdale might be interesting to you. It is a rather thorough study of the neighboring Chisos mine. Thank you for the video. Subscribed!
This is very informal. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
This years recent volcanic activity in places such as Iceland, Hawaii, Sicily, and others highlights the importance of geology in shaping the Earth's history. The tectonics story of Mount Vesuvius, in particular, provide insight into the processes that drive volcanic eruptions and their impact on the surrounding area and people. Great Geobridge video to close out 2022!!!
Talk about a super complicated tectonic history! Very thorough explanation, must have taken forever to research, thanks for the solid work!
