I live close 20 mi. from a "dormant volcano". On a property I own, I have been drilling fine grained basalt rock. The only way to drill is with a hardened SDS Max (thick shank) drill bit followed by splitting using a line of wedge and feather shims to fracture the rocks. Typically, when the wedges are spaced at 4-6 in. and are hammered the applied stress causes a clean break splitting the rock in two. The intent is to break the rocks into smaller pieces that can be handled for later removal. However some identical rocks (identical appearance and texture and size -24-30 in dia.) behave quite differently. If I run a line of wedges and drive them completely into the rock, there is no response to the imposed stress. The best I can do is run a row of wedges along the edge of the rock and small slices maybe 20-50# will break off cleanly in a straight line, but I am unable to split the rocks in half, as I normally do. I am curious. Any idea why the difference?
thank you so much for creating videos. i finally found a channel for my short attention span. thank you for keeping it short but detailed and straight to the point. i understood it very well.
Seen as we're all mentioning it, im here because my 9 year old doing "rocks" at school n i gotta seem smarter than her teacher whom used to be my p.e teacher...
geology major here. You mixed up pumice and rhyolite. Rhyolite can't float, Pumice(an extrusive igneous rock) can. Also, at 7:26 you use a piece of what looks like quartzite as an example of conglomerate.
I have never had a piece of conglomerate look like the one you have pictured. Even my students stated "that doesn't look like a collection of pebbles" also, in my 25 years of teaching geology never seen a piece of scoria float, only pumice.
Thank You for uploading this video. I am currently in Grade 10, and it really helps me a lot to do my reflection paper regarding on our lesson. I am very known for my bad-reputation in our school for being a procrastinated lazy ass troublemaker , and I wanted to change my lifestyle to prove my worth.
It is about a very interesting video with simple definitions and appropriate example for all the types of the rocks. It is suggested for anyone who wants to have basic informations adout this topic especially for high scool students. Congratulations for your excellent work.
If i find a cool looking rock that stands out has it been there forever or has it most likely been brought in from somewhere at one point for construction purposes and i happened to stumble upon it
It probably depends on where you find it - if it's in the streets and it happens to be at those patches of dirt in the concrete with a tree, then it's brought in. If it's at a community park, it's likely brought in unless it's a preserve or national/state park.
Yes, the rocks beneath our homes are informally known as betaine stones. They are technically a combination of igneous and sedimentary stones. The technical name for these little wonders is Benzoate. What makes Benzoate stones so unique is their ability to be both extremely durable and strong while allowing a small amount of malleability. These stones make a good foundation because with ease the shape can be changed like Play-doh. But once they are in shape they become the hardest and most structurally sound mineral. I’m a geologist so I know what I’m talking about, hope I could help!
How old are u guys lol? I’m in 11th grade but I came to this video because I realized I completely forgot the types of rocks- I even thought sedimentary was called complementary 😭😭😂😂
Making these for myself:
0:42 - Igneous
3:14 - Sedimentary
5:38 - Metamorphic
Sure helped me
Thanks
May i use it?
Thank you!!
It’s in the description-
This 7 minute video taught me more then my teacher for a whole 7 weeks 💀
Honestly 😔
7 WEEKS?!
Anyone came here for tomorrow's exam like me?...
Me😭😭

Did you pass
igneous rocks: obsidian, granite, basalt, scoria, rhyolite
sedimentary rocks: shale, sandstone, conglomerate, limestone
metamorphic rocks: slate, marble, quartzite, gneiss, schist
You forgot one rock: Dwayne Johnson
🤣
So true 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well

That rock smells

Damn. A debunker
That's why you have to research many different sources just in case someone gives you the wrong information on accident
This is good and please make more videos
I can't believe that schist.
Nice picture of it.
Thanks! That helped me alot on my science homework.

this video rocks! doing a science Olympiad competition for rocks and minerals, so this helps a lot
Thanks I’m doing work about rocks and it made it be really easy for me
Thanks for this video you clear my doubt

Lol
Ikr my teacher said 2 watch this 4 school and answer questions on it 😘
Yesss
I do
Thanks! I’ll get a good grade on my school work for this!
That is right for this video
Me too
Thx for this
Remember dropping geography because of rocks which was poorly taught and never understood anything.
Amazing video.
Thanks this topic helped me a lot in exams and got me A for science. .😃😃😃
Good 4 U

All these people are going to school or taking tests for rocks that are in the comment section. I am not one of them.
thanks alot for the work i appretiate
pov: you thought about minecraft when he explained about obsidian and quartz.
True
Companies plus stores sell all types of rocks but people can get for free awesome video
Thank you I’m doing this for a school project and this gave me a lot of info
What schools make people study rocks?
@@markrichardsocioprojectgo1800 science uses rocks
Thank you 😁😁
Here am i learning about rocks instead of reviewing for exam.

Best video ever types of rocks.. Thanks a lot !
I'm a grown ass adult and these are questions I need to know

Nice so nice 😉😉😉😉😉😉😃😃😃😃😃😃
Bro it’s easy to spot rocks like Shelly limestone,basalt,lava (solid) and a type of weird rock called aa.
I will get best marks in the exam because this chapter is in our course.😁😍🥰

Thank profe good in sight for me , appreciated!
Who else is watching this 2021 for class
Wow good job!
i have a science end of term tomorrow lmao
