What to create effective short-ed videos? Video Creation Workflow is available here: www.researchgate.net/profile/Ning-Wang-72/publication/364821291_2022_Wang_workflow_for_designing_instructional_videospdf/data/635c029b6e0d367d91d570a4/2022-Wang-workflow-for-designing-instructional-videos.pdf
With a team of undergraduate and graduate students and faculty in the Geoscience Dept. of the University of Texas at Dallas. We make geoscience educational animations and videos about geoscientific processes and about the activities of our department and other geoscientific organizations. We try to make the videos with science accurate and up-to-date content. In addition, we also assess our videos in classrooms to understand how to best design these videos to be education-effective.

Thank you for all your efforts. It's 8/26/2024 today, and there has been 3 earthquakes along the very same oceanic ridge where Hunga Tonga is located, each about 100km deep. Is another huge eruption coming?
My grandfather was the late William Patrick Crowley, prominent geologist in Baltimore (who's life ended in tragedy due to his work) If he were still around today I'm sure he'd be making content like this. You'll notice his names on several of the maps detailing the local geology.
I would say it’s probably the rocks fault for all the unnecessary, “adults” acting like children violence in Baltimore that has completely ruined the once great city. Typical and thanks!!!
Sorry to burst bubbles here…. but the earth is never that old as their narrative paints it to be. The scriptures is the only living book that will give you wisdom into the earth’s age. Do you honestly believe that we’d be this regressed as humanity if the earth was that old ? Many are still scrambling to even know what gender they are! Wisdom does not like this world where righteousness is scarce. WISDOM found not a place where she could inhabit; her dwelling therefore is in heaven. Wisdom went forth to dwell among the sons of men, but she obtained not a habitation. Wisdom returned to her place, and seated herself in the midst of the angels. But iniquity went forth after her return, who unwillingly found a habitation, and resided among them, as rain in the desert, and as a dew in a thirsty land. CHANOK (ENOCH) 42:1-2 את CEPHER Praise Yah!
When I worked for the state I got to take a guided tour of the Maryland Geological Society. Such a cool building downtown and some truly passionate people!
This is actually pretty cool. I've always been pretty fascinated with geology. I've known for a while now that the Appalachian mountains are some of, if not the oldest mountains, on earth's surface. But I didn't know this. I've lived like 15, 20 minutes south of Baltimore my whole life. Which is part of why this is so interesting to me.
@utd geoscience studio Super interesting! When I'm looking at a rock in Baltimore--rocks are everywhere here, as you know--how can I tell if it's one of the rocks from the Iapetus? Or are you saying that, generally speaking, pretty much all the rocks in Baltimore are from this ancient ocean?
You should not be in west baltimore, we are the murder capitol of the US. Like you should consider Baltimore and Pretoria South Africa as equitable places.
I am ecstatic to see this! I have looked at the terrain of Baltimore for decades. The rocks, the ridges on them, the branches, the slant of the trees suggest that it had to be below sea level. I searched for evidence that it was once under water to no avail. I hail from four generations of Baltimore city educators and administrators so I was always told that it was once water. Where can I find more information about this ocean?
Retired science teacher here. I noticed some striped rock used on my house in Baltimore County. All the houses in my development have this rock, which I thought was gneiss due to the stripes. I contacted the U of Baltimore geology department to find out more, and made contact with a gracious professor. She told me (based on my photos) that it was Setter's quartzite, very closely related to gneiss (hence the stripes). I was fascinated to know it was locally quarried, maybe even by the nearby Quarry Lake.
I live in Houghton Michigan. This area has black basalt everywhere. Also exposed bedrock although much more in Marquette. Copper mining along the peninsula.
Now, I don't believe that the Earth is 500 million year's old. That is a bit of a stretch. But, that's another fascinating thing to learn about the rocks developing in Baltimore though.
and there was a rock shop in Havre de Grace. I showed him some drusy quartz I found where? Winters Run his eyes got huge that is extremely rare. now I realize there could be gold there
it was only from a single outcropping. below it I found my first real quartz crystals in matrix up to 6 cm long! again a rogue find he wanted me to take him there. His eagerness was offputting. this was 40 years ago i can still go right to it but I don't want it to be plundered by dummies so... put a pin in it and know there ARE mysteries in Harford County! cheers!
I’m a Light Rail Operator and I drive to Light Rail for MTA and I knew it was something stranger about the rocks that I passed by every day on the train. They did look volcanic, but I wasn’t sure now I have the facts
Pangea is stupid there is literally land underneath the whole of the oceans so they broke apart leaving puzzle pieces on the surface lmao no. Same with the night sky never changing but all celestial bodies are moving at tremendous speeds, distance definitely doesn’t support all directions everywhere. Bad science
But... If there were plate tectonics at that time, wouldnt it just destroy or contradict with the whole cratonic formation theory? As cratons were of initially vertical movement...no horizontal movement were there at that time for a subduction of the plates and for mantle plumes to rise as a result of melting of the subducted plates....
I was blessed to have a field class in geology at pgcc ms sally’s class was the best i’ve ever had she didn’t just quote facts at us she took us to various sites throughout our region to back up and to illustrate the types of geology in md and surrounding regions she instilled in me a love for geology these are the types of classes that need to be promoted and taught throughout our educational system! if eduction is meant to inspire a love of learning ms. sally definitely fulfilled her job and then some JRR
