    Hello everybody, it's been a long time since I have posted on this channel. I am now professionally trained and ready to take Study Buddy Studios to the next level... to The Digiverse! I can create highly interactive virtual classrooms for various subjects that play like video games and can connect teachers with students through video confrence calls within the virtual classroom. I am looking for a Canadian university or college to sponsor me to make this happen and I need your help. Please watch my newest upload to this channel, share and leave a comment. Cheers. ua-cam.com/video/P4soBPuFmBo/v-deo.html

      As a native North Georgian (aka Appalachian American) I hope you have found life good here. A word of caution, if I may. Keeping Pet Rocks has been a popular idea for a number of years. These are truly wild and not meant to be kept as pets. One minute docile and aggressive the next. They can be very protective of humans they are familiar with.
      I, too, once thought this was a good idea until my Pet Rock, Krystal, attacked my neighbor right between the eyes during an emotional discussion about property lines. Krystal had to be released into a wilderness area.
      Welcome to North Georgia.

    I always remember that the difference between limestone and dolostone from a geographers perspective is that the dolostone is like a sponge to water, limestone has a tight interlocking crystal structure and water penetrates along joints and bedding planes. The marble is metamorphosed limestone or dolostone - interesting video, thanks

    Thanks for sharing this informative video on rock and mineral identification! I found it really helpful to learn about the different characteristics to look for, such as color, texture, and hardness. I also appreciated the tips on using tools like a magnifying glass or scratch test to further narrow down the possibilities. As someone who is just getting started with rock collecting, this video gave me a great foundation for identifying specimens in the field. Keep up the great work!"

      @@SSFCstudybuddy hi buddy i've got a quick query that's been bothering me..may sound stupid mind! anyway with the scratch test is there a certain way to do it, for example quartz having a higher hardness than calcite, if i had a nice flat face on a piece of quartz (amethyst for example) and a piece of calcite with a very sharp point or edge and tried my very hardest to scrach the face of the Amethyst should it be impossible for it to leave a permanent mark or will it scratch it just simply due to the amount of force used? in other words should i just be testing it by gently scratching it instead of with force (i know a knife is lower on the scale than quartz but i just feel like if i really tried to mark that quartz with a steel blade i could even though in theory it shouldn't be able to...thanks buddy and great video! 👍🏻💎

    Love this video! I don't have much knowledge about geology but i am interested in it more and more. A few years ago i was lucky to work in Labrador. On a hike, i found some Labradorite, which i was able to bring a specimen the size of half a fist. I was also able to get a sample specimen of Nickel from the mine where I worked. I've had an interest in geology and gem cutting since. Videos such as yours here keeps my interest on the subject.
    Does anyone have any inside knowledge on the industry? Is a career in geology worth it? Are there lots of job openings or is it a sector with low employment prospects? What type of work does one usually end up doing as a geologist?

    • @DreamBelief
      @DreamBelief 8 років тому

      Just a tip: try and get your information from reliable sources. There are quite a few inaccuracies in this video. As for your question geology is generally a good field to go into, depending where you live. In many parts of the world most end up working in the minerals industry, either for private mining companies, or for resource management for the government. Many others work in construction or urban planning, or as consultants for this. Some work in natural resource management and environmental management. Some will stay on as academics. Some work in mapping areas, often doing consultancy work. Those are the main fields from my knowledge.

    How did you determine the hardness and gravity of those rocks? what is poricpioritodic?

    • @MelesaEFary
      @MelesaEFary 4 роки тому +1

      Hi, I am rock enthusiast and it has been my passion so I can tell you that for hardness we use the Moh's Hardness Test. The first thing you do find a place in the rock that scratching will not matter. Then the first thing you do is to use your fingernail and see if you can scratch the rock and if you can see a line then your rock is a soft rock. Moh lists as an example that talc can easily be scratch. If no mark then you are going to see if a coin can leave a scratch mark. If it does then you have a list of rocks it could be. Next to scratch with is a small knife blade, a piece of glass, and from there a piece of glass. You also can use the rocks that Mohs has on its scale. So if you can can't scratch it with a pocket knife but can with a piece of quartz rock, then looking at Moh's scale you may have apatire?? It isn't rocket science correct but it is a good indicator. I really like the streak test. But I would suggest buying a good rock and mineral book for identification. My favorite is the Audubon rock and mineral guide. It is incredible!! I also love my Eyewiness Handbooks Rocks and Minerals guide book by Chris Pellant and joining a local rock and gem club is really great too!

Thank you❤❤

      No to your question, google is your friend for more information on any of these rocks or minerals. There are many websites out there with definitions and pictures of meteorites. Your roof rock could be a meteorite or a piece of satellite that melted on re-entry. See if someone from a local gem or mineral club or university can identify it for you.
