Hi there, just want to thank you for making and uploading this lecture series. I'm an artist and have been focusing on fantasies and fairytales for a really long time. But after discovering the realm of geology, I realise that the so-called "reality" is as magical, all I need to do is change my perspective. This really points me a new direction!!

I am currently doing GEOL 200 Physical Geology. This series pretty much covers the whole course. It's great to get a different perspective on some of the topics as the textbooks can be confusing. It's great to have somebody else explain things in a different way. Thank you very much for these uploads.

It's such a treat to listen to you, Professor! Everything is explained clearly. I was super interested in geology part of geography class in high school, but chose to major in Physics in college. Your teaching gives me flashbacks of classes given by my Physics professor from Netherlands. That was more than ten years ago. I feel as if I were in a classroom once more. Thank you!

I regularly drive thru Nevada and have wondered why some lava flows are a layer of partially melted rock, not a homogeneous mass. Now I know. Thanks. Geology was not my field, but it has now become my obsession. Thanks for the part you have played. At 76 I may now have a new career.

I'm going to have to give up driving myself around. I live near Metaline Falls WA which is a geologically fascinating area and I'm always turning my head to see something with my new eyes which isn't the best thing to do on a winding river road. It's already a chore watching for deer and elk. Anyway thank you for the new eyes. You're teaching style reminds me of my fisheries instructor, Brian Gilbert at Spokane Community College. That guy just blasted the information into my skull in a way that I had no choice but to understand fully the subject matter. Brian is a very busy guy being involved in rescue dogs and habitat restoration on a purely volunteer basis. Thank you for taking the time share your knowledge.

Thanks for the video it was very useful. When talking about magma differentiation. What I don't understand is if the lava is hot enough to melt minerals like olivine why will the magma be basaltic and not incorporate other minerals which have a lower melting point which surely will also melt and be incorporated into the magma?
@EarthandSpaceSciencesX
2 жыл бұрын
Good question and the video probably doesn't adequately answer that question. In fact, I may update it in the near future to improve upon that. Here's the answer to your question (if I am interpreting it correctly): it depends on how much of the original igneous rock is melted. If the original rock is basalt and melted entirely, it will recrystallize as basalt with the full suite of mafic minerals found within basalt. However, if the basalt is only partially melted, the felsic (Si and Al-rich) mineral phases with the lower melting points will melt first leaving the the higher temperature (mafic) mineral phases as a solid. This newly differentiated felsic magma can then crystallize later and form felsic rocks full of Si and Al-rich minerals like quartz, K-spar, and muscovite (as is common in granodiorites and granites). The key to understanding differentiation is that the felsic magmas become physically separated from their original rocks and concentrate elsewhere, which is why hot, granitic magmas don't form basalts. I hope this helps... Cheers!

During min 11:00 is the water decreasing the melting point because the rocks slightly dissolve in water and therefore decrease the attractive bonds within the solids? Or why is water decreasing the melting point? I know you said water is volatile, but what if there was a hydrophobic volatile? Would we see a similar thing happening

Hey again! Quick question in regards to the uplift of rock like you were talking about at around 7 minutes in. What causes the rock to rise in the first place? If the peridotite rock is already in a solid form underneath a more liquid mantle under the ridge, wouldn't it be too dense to rise up? I'm guessing that the rock is rising due to the heat and natural convection currents of the mantle, yes? Because otherwise it seems kinda weird that this more solid rock is rising through a more liquid section. Am I correct in my assumptions here?
@EarthandSpaceSciencesX

"I'm guessing that the rock is rising due to the heat and natural convection currents of the mantle, yes?" This is correct. :) Rocks in the mantle act brittle over short periods of time but can flow over long periods of time. The study of solid objects, such as peridotite, that flow is called rheology.

24:10 Why is the solidus a straight line, but the melting curve is... curved? I would expect that they would line up exactly?
@EarthandSpaceSciencesX
2 жыл бұрын
The solidus (100% solid) and liquidus (100% liquid), which are the melting curves, are indeed very close to parallel and relatively straight. The strongly curved lines are the geothermal gradients.
