The Nature of Earth: An Introduction to Geology

...with Professor John J. Renton

Review this video!

Geology is such an interesting and applicable science, especially because compared to more complex sciences such as biology and physics, it is actually very solid, easy to understand, and forever changing, just like earth.

Learn secrets about well-known landmarks all over the world such as Yellowstone National Park, the rolling hills of the Piedmont region that extends from New Jersey to Alabama, which were created 300 million years ago. Learn about the history of our planet, and how the separating of super continent Pangea gave us the continents we have today (which are of course, still moving). Geology teaches us about so many practical uses for our earth's resources, such as where to find precious metals, where to dig a well, where to drill for oil. Discover haunting facts about volcanoes and why some are much more threatening than others, see how earthquakes happen and what causes them, and all about the earth's rocks, minerals, and soil.

This video, hosted by Professor John J. Renton, will give you valuable insight about the earth and its valuable resources. Enjoy and learn as you discover the beautiful raw materials from earth that make our lives the way they are.
