    After (binge) watching the series so far, I must conclude that this is the best and most in depth introduction to geology I have come across. The structure is brilliant actually, giving a great insight into the processes from the very start which makes it so much easier to understand and reproduce for practical purposes.
    Really enjoyable.

    PART 1: I got into becoming a major rock hound by first finding a good15 pounds of green aventurine while walking my dog in the cemetery. Then, walking my dog again in a dirt recycling center, I came upon a rock pile that had beautiful specimens in it, including a little citrine, amethyst and teeth quartz. That got me into studying rocks and minerals, but I realized that I was not knowledgeable enough to identify rocks and minerals. So, I studied all of geology for 7 years.

    For the composition of the earth you were talking about the crust and not the whole earth, but you didn't precise it
    And if I'm not mistaken put's the Iron at ~30%, the Oxygen at ~30% and the Silicon at ~15%

    • @EarthandSpaceSciencesX
      @EarthandSpaceSciencesX  7 років тому +4

      Yes, I was referring to the composition of the average crustal rocks (thanks for pointing that out that ambiguity, I'll be more precise in future versions of this video). The bulk ("whole") composition of Earth is a bit harder to figure out because we need to make some assumptions from meteorites, seismic waves, and geochemical models. Here's a good paper on our current thinking on bulk Earth composition.

  • @brucewinningham4959
    @brucewinningham4959 Рік тому +1

    Hi, Do Geologists sometimes need the services of a Geochemist to properly identify the Rock or Mineral Sample that has been found?
    FOR INSTANCE:: Let's say that there are two Minerals with each looking very similar in their physical appearance and each having the same 3 Chemical Elements that make up each Mineral but in different proportions by Percentages (%}.
    One Mineral Sample may have the Percentage Ratios of 60-20-20 and the other may have the Percentages of 40-30-30, again with the same Chemical Elements in different proportions.
    I would "assume," if I may,, with that much variation in the Percentages of the Elements, there would "most likely" be enough Physical Appearance variations to properly identify the two Mineral Samples by sight by the Geologist.
    If they could NOT be readily identified by the Geologist, would that require the Samples to be Examined & Analyzed by by a Geochemist? ~TIA, Bruce~

    • @EarthandSpaceSciencesX
      @EarthandSpaceSciencesX  Рік тому +1

      Good question. Geologists, for the very reasons you just cited, receive extensive geochemistry training during their undergraduate years so that, in a sense, they can be their own geochemist when needed. A common example of what you are bringing up is plagioclase, being a solid-solution, can have very different chemistries depending on the condition which formed the mineral. Geologists learn how to easily measure the chemical composition of plagioclase during their sophomore or junior years using an optical microscope. Same for most of the other common rock-forming minerals.

  • @pablokagioglu2546
    @pablokagioglu2546 Рік тому

    Just discovered your series. Love the lessons.
    On this Geology (4) lesson you list the breakdown of earth composition and Iron is listed as 5%
    However, every time I see a 3D cutout view of the Earth the solid Iron core is shown as this huge ball and then it is wrapped with a liquid Iron core (even bigger) altogether hardly 5% and more like 20%
    If were to draw those layers in the correct proportion, what would the view look like?

  • @cyberpotato63
    @cyberpotato63 2 роки тому +1

    I am guessing the relative abundance of elements in the earth is with respect to mass rather than relative number of moles. Mass vs. moles would give different ratios of elements. The relative abundance of hydrogen, sodium and carbon, in number of atoms, is going to be much higher than their contribution to total mass because they are light elements.

But since when are covalent bonds stronger than ionic bonds? That would turn most properties of water upside down . . . ????? Is this just re: silicates? Please clarify.

    Muscovite is not named after city of Moscow, nor after citizens of Moscow, but after Muscovy, which was an alternative name of (entire) Russia in the middle ages.

      You are correct. I'll make corrections to that when I record my new mineral video sometime soon.

    When you ask the audience to watch a different video before watching the video they are in. It's usually helpful if you post a link for the previous video in the description of the current video. Maybe you could do that to help out future learners
