Without Volcanoes, Earth Might be Dead
You might think of plate tectonics as destructive since it's the ultimate force behind earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. But the slow movement of our planet's surface does a lot more than shake things up now and then. Some...

What is Weathering? Crash Course Geography
Weathering breaks down rocks and creates sediments which become the raw materials for other rocks and the formation of our soils. And we call the process of moving that sediment erosion. In today's episode, we're just going to focus on...

How Antarctica Froze Over
Antarctica wasn't always covered in kilometer thick ice sheets, in fact, scientists have spent years figuring out what turned this once lush continent into its current icy state.

Weathering and Erosion
In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina gives us a real world example of how the Hydrosphere and Geosphere affect each other in the form of Weathering and Erosion. Think of Weathering as the force that makes a mess and Erosion as...

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...

Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Part 1: Terrigenous/Siliciclastic Rocks
We now know what sedimentary rocks are, but how do we classify them? We have to discuss three broad categories of sedimentary rock, and the first of these are terrigenous or siliciclastic rocks. These are rocks composed of clasts, or...

What Is The Rock Cycle?
In this video you will learn about the dynamic rock cycle. Plant roots help to create new soil from the solid rock and they get nutrients and support from the soil. This solid rock is often sandstone or granite. They are made up of...
