After morocco earthquake I've noticed these areas are very active, could this be a warning?
Is it possible to create, for instance, a granite-like rock in a laboratory? Or do the temperatures, pressures or lengths of time required make it unfeasible?
I’m seeing varied information on how the Mississippi River formed (and when). Some say it formed more recently as the last of the Laurentide Glacier melted off. Others say the river formed 10s of millions of years ago and may have flowed north, draining a low mountain range that ran east-west across the American south. What’s the rivers widely accepted geologic history? Any good reads about it?
Anything besides "roadside geology of New Jersey" because I can't find a free PDF.

My step-son has been showing an interest in geology, and wanting to learn about various things that I just can't give him an answer to, lol. I'm only into geology from an artistic side, so I've given him all the knowledge I have (I can identify, but I cannot speculate), so he's wondering things like, "how do the rocks get there?", "why are they that colour?" and, "where can I find the coolest rocks?"
I'm just wondering if this group would be willing to let him in on some YouTube channels or websites that you guys think would be entertaining for a kid. He's got quite a collection of crystals that he's fond of talking about, so he's definitely into the "ooh shiny!" side of geology.
So this is earthquake data (last few hours) from the USGS; zoomed in on Texas and Oklahoma. I am not a geologist nor a science expert, but there’s almost seems to be a line pattern here.
Are the earthquakes shown here independent of each other or all related?
Hello, i am an international university student completing my Bsc in Geology next year. My professor told me to look into geology jobs in Australia as they are in demand. I have previously interned in an environment agency and I would like to join the graduate programs some employers have listed in australia.
My question is..
Thank you !
I am not a professional geologist, in fact I am still a student and I only study geography in school, a few months back I started watching Milo Rossi, now whenever I see a rock I would make assumptions about what is it made of and how it ended up in my hands, I already like history and would very much love to learn the history of rocks and geoformations, make a career in it too if it goes well.
I literally have no one to take advice from not even my geography teacher (she's a bitch) and I would be very thankful if someone can tell me where to start
Thank you.
For example granite has many grains of quartz, feldspar etc. Could we say that granite has many crystals of quartz and feldspar, or is that wrong?
Please point me in the direction of the proper sub to post this on if this is not the place for this question. But I’ve heard that there would be tsunamis, a larger tilt causing extreme climate changes, and some other wild things. But approximately how soon after would all of it occur? Instantly? hours? Days?
Hey everyone!
I'm currently in the process of preparing my application for a study visa in France, and I could use some advice and ideas to create a project that could convince the immigration officer to approve it.
I have a bachelor's degree in applied geology, and I'm pursuing a master's in mineral resources, geomaterials, and the environment. However, the French university I'm applying to requires a link between my current studies and a master's in business to accept me.
I absolutely love geology, but I understand that to secure this visa, it's crucial to find a way to combine these seemingly different fields. I'm open to all creative ideas on how I could build a project that demonstrates a connection between geology and business.
Do you have any suggestions or similar experiences? How can I create a compelling project that meets both the university and immigration requirements?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. 🙏
