The video introduces the concept of geology while highlighting the importance of rocks in understanding the planet. The video also introduces the role of geologists in studying Earth's processes and history, and how classifying rocks is...

Short 2 minute video for middle school students describing rock formations.

We talked about siliciclastic rocks, so now let's talk about biogenic rocks. These are sedimentary rocks that are derived from the skeletal materials of living organisms. That's right, rocks made of things that were alive! The most...

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...
