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...

How We Know About the Earth's Core
The big question is, how do we know about the composition of the earth's core? Sal explains that at 105 degrees from the source point of an earthquake, the phenomenon of the p wave shadow zone leads us to conclude that the waves are...

Hawaiian Islands Formation, Cosmology and Astronomy
Sal explains the formation of Hawaii and the theories behind the formation of a boundary-related hot spot. He debates the concept that the hot spot is traveling along with the plate.
