Making A Video Earth Rocks! 2022-05-09 | A description of the process I go through to make my video tutorials. I created this video in 2014 for a workshop on Making Video Tutorials for Undergraduate Geoscience Education. In 20222, I still do many of the same things today as I did in 2014; I use the same software (updated versions), and I follow a similar process. I do it all in high definition now, write my scripts in a way that students can access (and speeds up closed captioning), and I use YouTube as my storage location.If you are an earth science enthusiast and would like to support our ongoing video development and engage with us behind the scenes...Or if you are a student and would like access to interactive lessons built around the Earth Rocks! videos...you can do so by JOINING the Earth Rocks!

Welcome to Earth Rocks! YouTube Channel Earth Rocks! 2022-05-04 | Welcome to the Earth Rocks! YouTube Channel. This channel contains video tutorials used in introductory college-level general education earth science courses at City College of San Francisco. I’m Katryn Wiese, the producer of these videos and professor of some of the courses that use them at City College. I created these videos to help my students prepare for class and review for exams. I make them available publicly to students and professionals across the globe who find them useful for their course or career needs. Even after multiple years of use and continued student feedback, there are still errors that we miss. If you find an error, let me know, so I can fix it right away. I value greatly the comments left on my videos. Thank you to those of you using the comments to help me make better videos and to answer each other's questions.Enjoy, and best of luck in your educational and /or career goals.If you are an earth science enthusiast and would like to support our ongoing video development and engage with us behind the scenes...Or if you are a student and would like access to interactive lessons built around the Earth Rocks! videos...you can do so by JOINING the Earth Rocks!

Wind Erosion and Deposition Earth Rocks! 2022-03-17 | For an introductory college-level physical geology class: a review of how wind contributes to erosion and deposition in the desert and along coastlines. The video reviews the formation of wind and the ways in which wind erodes, transports, and deposits sediment. In particular we review how wind moves sand (suspension, saltation, and creep), the results of what's left behind as the sand is removed (desert pavement), the physical weathering features produced when that sand-laden wind blasts the sides of rocks (ventifacts), and the landforms that are produced when those sands are later deposited (including sand dunes). Content within is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.**This video comes near the end of the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar.

Content within is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.**This video comes near the end of the semester, after the Groundwater video, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar.

Groundwater Earth Rocks! 2022-03-15 | For an introductory college-level physical geology class: a review of how groundwater contributes to freshwater supplies, how it moves through aquifers, and how it is impacted by the permeability and porosity of the ground. We also discuss what happens when wells are drilled into aquifers of varying kinds and the results of over pumping of water. We end with a comparison with oil and gas migration. In particular, we review the consequences of porosity and permeability of under-surface rocks on oil and gas reservoirs, including a brief review of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking." Content within is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.**This video comes near the end of the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar.

Mountains Earth Rocks! 2019-03-16 | For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review of mountain building -- the various types found around the planet, their causes, and their shapes. Includes a discussion of fault-block mountains, fold-and-thrust mountains, domes, erosional remnants, and volcanic mountains.**This video comes about 1/3 of the way into the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar.

Journey to the Center of the Earth Earth Rocks! 2019-03-09 | For an introductory college-level physical geology class: we travel down to the center of the Earth and then back to the surface on the other side alongside the waves produced by earthquakes. The ways in which these seismic waves move through the Earth (speeding up, slowing down, and sometimes disappearing) gives us information about what's inside our planet. We review what we know about each of Earth's layers: their thicknesses, composition, and physical properties -- including Earth's core, mantle, crust, lithosphere, and asthenosphere. Content within is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.**This video comes in the first 1/3rd of a semester class, but after students have learned about plate tectonics, Earth formation, mountain building, and earthquakes, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar.

Earthquakes Earth Rocks! 2019-03-09 | For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review of earthquakes: their causes, consequences, and how we determine their location and size. Includes discussion of Richter scale, Mercalli intensity scale, moment magnitude scale, seismograms, seismographs, liquefaction, and more.**This video comes about 1/3 of the way into the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar.

Folds and Faults Earth Rocks! 2019-02-27 | For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review folds and faults found in Earth's crust: their causes, classification, and importance. Also reviews the various stresses that lead to the variety of deformation types. Includes definitions and modeling of reverse faults, normal faults, and strike-slip faults; anticlines, synclines, domes, and basins; and plastic, elastic, and brittle deformation.**This video comes about 1/3 of the way through the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar.

Metamorphism Earth Rocks! 2019-02-20 | For an introductory college-level physical geology class: a review of how the basic processes processes and products of metamorphism including comparisons of the pressure, temperature, and fluid conditions found in different metamorphic settings: subduction zones, colliding continents, deep burial, and in contact with magma chambers or hydrothermal fluids. Discusses clues found in a rock that tell us which setting and which grade a rock was subjected to, including a review of index minerals.**This video comes near the middle of the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar. In fact, it is recommended that you watch this video only AFTER watching Identifying Minerals, Identifying Igneous Rocks, and Identifying Sedimentary Rocks. This video reviews ALL those rock types and discusses how they transform into a new metamorphic rock. It can be overwhelming if you start first with this video.
