Physical Weathering Processes
At this point we know a lot about how rocks form, but now we need to understand precisely how they are weathered. Weathering describes the forces and conditions that break down rocks that are exposed at the surface into smaller...

Weathering Environments Part 1: Fluvial Processes
We now know about physical and chemical weathering, so now it's time to learn about the different weathering environments. These are fluvial, aeolian, and glacial. Let's start with fluvial, which means environments dominated by flowing...

The Rock Cycle
We've spent quite some time discussing igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks, their properties, and the conditions under which they form. Now it's time to zoom out and see how they are all connected in something called...

Characteristics of Sedimentary Rocks: Size, Provenance, and Composition
With igneous rocks understood, let's move on to the second type of rock, sedimentary rock. What are sediments, and how do they come together to form sedimentary rocks? What can we say about the size of such a rock? It's provenance, or...

Classification of Igneous Rocks: Intrusive vs. Extrusive
Now that we know how igneous rocks form, what are the types of igneous rocks? This depends on precisely where they form, and we can call them either intrusive or extrusive. These can also be called either plutonic or volcanic. What do...

The Earth Shouldn't Have Oxygen
A balanced carbon cycle produces as much CO2 as O2, and yet, there are 209,460 ppm of oxygen in the atmosphere and only 440 ppm of CO2 (up from the recent baseline of 275). My first thought was that the CO2 is temporarily stored in...
