How to Create a Closed Native Terrarium
A terrarium is an enclosed ecosystem which can be entirely self-sustaining. Once set up and watered, you will never need to open it again since it will regulate its own water and nutrient cycles. Observe how the plant life changes and...

Weathering Environments Part 3: Glacial Processes
Fluvial processes deal with water, aeolian processes deal with wind, so glacial processes must deal with glaciers! What are glaciers and how do they behave? How do glaciers weather rocks? Let's get a closer look!
Professor Dave Explains
Weathering Environments Part 2: Aeolian Processes
We learned about fluvial processes, or those dealing with water, so now let's learn about aeolian processes, or those dealing with wind. How does wind weather rocks? Quite similarly to water, but with less force. Let's check out some...

I WONDER - How Is A Sedimentary Rock Formed?
This video is answering the question of how is a sedimentary rock formed.
Professor Dave Explains
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...

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...
