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 the rock cycle. This outlines the ways that each of these types of rock transforms into each of the others, and the situations under which this occurs.

Every now-and-then I'll collect a rock / stone because of its shape or texture etc., and always wonder how many millions, or more likely billions of years old it is, and the journey it has taken through such a vast amount of time to finally come to be in my hand. Its staggering to think my humble little collection will perhaps still be around to see our Sun die.

I’m about to start my bachelors degree in Geology soon and I am highly intrigued after watching all these videos by you. Just wanted to say Thank You.

I have a dumb question. What happens to Sediment that undergoes heat and pressure? Does it just become Sedimentary Rock?

[hm-uqmc]

If a sedimentary rock melts, would it always go through metamorphic phase first? or it can just go straight to magma?

Just yesterday i hauled a 162 pound igneous rock out of a creek to put in my rock garden.

You're a rock cycle.
Er... pardon me. Yeah, very interesting video. I sometimes wonder how deep into the mantle stuff from the surface gets pushed. I'd like to see a video that goes into more detail about the interior of the Earth.

[whatsup]

Bro, could you please make a video about phonics rules for reading.

Could ancient humans have created concrete like substances that after thousands of years would metamorphosize into the stones for example used in the pyramids.

Could a massive cataclysmic event trigger a geological anomaly?
For instance could a comet impact accelerate the metamorphosis of certain types of rocks?

Btw I was here for GEO.... NOT SCINCEEEE

[mehhhhh]

Oh my gosh, finally a discipline I know!

[terriblestar]

no doubt that he explains well🙃🙃
And I really don't know why I laugh everytime I see his video🤣🤣😅

[Lesser]

Are you kidding me 😂
I was just here trying to see what this fella is all about from another video asking me about what to ask you on dr Keating show and my question when I seen the rock video was. Could one find a rock that could explain my thesis of evolution of discoveries through natural survival process fighting climate change and here is the rock 😂 2:43 awesome brother bloody awesome
