Earth didn't always have the land beneath your feet, but what might have caused it to form is a bit of a mystery.

Mountain ranges usually don't form in the middle of continents. Except for the Rocky Mountains. We'll go into the baffling Laramide Orogeny and a few possible reasons why the Rockies might be in the wrong place.

How is it possible to have cataclysmic eruptions without any real cataclysm?

Lots of geological forces need to come together for continents to form, but they all require one ingredient: water.

You might think of plate tectonics as destructive since it's the ultimate force behind earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. But the slow movement of our planet's surface does a lot more than shake things up now and then. Some...

The ground beneath your feet is home to a massive, mysterious world of microbes -- some of which have been in the earth's crust for hundreds of thousands of years. What's it like down there? Take a trip to the volcanoes and hot springs...

In this video Paul Andersen explains how rock is formed and changed on the planet. The video begins with a brief description of rocks, minerals, and the rock cycle. Plate tectonics is used to describe structure near plate boundaries. ...

Mr. Andersen describes how plate tectonics shapes our planet. Continental and oceanic platers are contrasted and major plate boundaries are discussed.

Pupil outcome: I can identify some of the processes that have caused this landscape of mountains and lakes. Key learning points: - Rocks in the Lake District reveal changes over millions of years - Mountains, valleys and lakes here have...
