Earth Science - Metamorphic Rocks and Resources from Rocks
Offered By: Spahn's Science Lectures via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of metamorphic rocks and valuable resources derived from various rock types in this comprehensive 45-minute lecture. Delve into the intricacies of metamorphic grade, settings, and agents such as heat, pressure, stress, and chemically active fluids. Examine metamorphic rock textures, foliation, and common metamorphic rocks including slate, phyllite, schist, marble, and quartzite. Investigate rock and mineral resources, pegmatites, ore deposits, and nonmetallic mineral resources. Learn about coal emissions, oil and natural gas formation, oil traps, and hydraulic fracturing. Discuss energy demand and the metamorphism of limestone. For additional information on oil traps, refer to the linked video.
