My Science Blast features topics in earth and ocean sciences.
Through our videos we take you on virtual field trips to different parts of world to bring our content into the classroom or home. There is something for everyone whether you are a student, teacher or just curious about our natural world.
As we dive into geology and oceanography you will gain an appreciation for our amazing planet.

Seems a profit called the Trump assassination attempt dead on. He said there would be some upcoming quakes that made the miss flow backwards. I was curious and found this.
Your video came up while I was looking up things to see in Eureka, CA and Atlas Obscura told me about the Eureka Dunes...so cool! Thank you for the video. Hope to see this for myself someday.
Great what you and all the volunteers are doing. Hopefully the work being done and the spreading of information will be used to diminish the risks people from Bangladesh might face in the upcoming years not only for their wellbeing, but also because those changes will have repercussions around the world
On 3/7/2024, here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, I live on Tulsa east side of the Arkansas River. It naturally runs south. This date at 5pm when I took my dog outside in the yard, I noticed the Arkansas River was running backwards, north!! I took a short video of it. It was still running north 3 hours later when I looked at the river again. The next morning, I looked and it was running south as usual. No serious earthquakes nearby. The Arkansas River runs into the Mississippi River.
That was a good geology and volcanology themed video. With just two flaws: there was no argumentative conclusion of the compilation of the stuff showed and explained in the video. Plus, the tittle is quite misleading; since the Madeira Arquipelagoo is far from being done, with its own volcanic activity. With some geologists saying, that at least one of the already existing volcanos from Madeira, is bound to wake up, sometime in less than another 40 years. And depending on which volcano that might be... There may be the need to fully evacuate the Madeira Archipelago; due to its probable explosive nature.
I am kinda scared because we're literally moving there within 2 years (probably). And pretty much where there was a lot of volcanic activity (Sao Vicente Valley)
@@ilyaIvanov_personal You can go there. Just try not to over-invest all the extra eggs still from yo economies basket. Plus, keep an eye for an alternative destination, to maybe one day: resettle towards there. And to resume: There will be just 2 pets maximum, in yo'house; with the exception of maybe, of a spacy water-ball, with some gold-fish swimming within-it.
@@aberdeenkiko We like that Madeira is very close to mainland Europe, with a relatively big Funchal city. But still has quiet villages like Sao Vicente surrounded with incredible nature, it’s a perfect place for us. We’ve been to every town on Madeira and the only other place that comes close is Porto da Cruz, but still not as good (for us). We only have one pet, so we’re good. As I said the only concern is the volcanic activity, but it’s still the quietest / least active island of Macaronesia.
It is a problem but it has to be dealt with at the state level. That's hard when you have billionaires like Koch and Wilkes who setup think tanks and SuperPacs to elect and feed us BS. Heck, these plastics corporations are people now! See Citizens United v USA.
The binding material used on the old wall shown at 7:45 is not mud but mortar (sand, water, and lime). That binding material has stood the test of time, seeing that there is an abundance of buildings, including private houses, castles, bridges, churches, chapels, and forts from the Middle Ages that are to be found throughout Portugal, whose walls have remained intact to this day, for the most part. But, of course, what happened in Lisbon on November the first, 1755, is a completely different kettle of fish, so to speak (no pun intended)... Good video, nonetheless.
True. Old binding material was usually some kind of lime mortar which will shrink and harden when dry, and it is amazing how well these strucures have withstood the test of time. However, these are brittle structures which are not seismo-resistant without some kind of internal reinforcement. Damage to buildings of different dimensions also depends on the frequency content of the seismic waves, but that is the topic for another video. Thanks for your comment, Miguel.
In the 90's, I was asleep in my bed, but around 3am I was awoken by what I thought was somebody shaking me....but I live alone. I got up, nobody was there, or in the house, and my first thought was, "Huh, must have been an earthquake...I'll see it on the news later." I live in the northern part of Illinois, and my house sits on top of the garage, which is 14' tall. Turns out, there was an earthquake in southern Illinois about 250 miles away.
Had so many questions when I found these ilands on google earth, you answered all of them and even learned some more interesting stuff. Bio mineralization, lava textures etc. Great video, just long enough. new sub.
i was quite amazed by the good video and I casually scrolled down to look at the comments when I realized you have just a single comment, then I saw 4 likes, 100 views and 460 subscribers. keep up the good work, if you continue with this top quality you'll get a lot more, I hope at least, you deserve it. definitely earned my like. have a good one
i just came across your channel. by your content and production alone, I am surprised you dont have thousands of subscribers. I LOVED your sand crab episode. Thank you for being very informative and you have a great narrative voice!
Interesting video! I never realized ice plants were an invasive species, I've seen them everywhere by the coastline here. Nice to see there are efforts to regain normal biodiversity!
I remember somewhere along the Oregon coast I was with my family and my dad found these stripes in the sand and knew what they were while me and the rest of my family didn’t. He called them tickle crabs and they crawled all over us and it felt like they were tickling us to death. That was a good time
