I love the explanation for the rocks! I really love that you elaborate on the important things! Thank you so much, I’ll be coming back to this video many times
Thanks Allison , it was really useful and one of the best explanations about rock classification I've ever seen. I'll be grateful if you put a like for the chart .
Thank you for your time doing this video for the people. I am learning on my own. Could you give me some keys to differentiate an amphibole from a pyroxene (horblende vs augite) . Thank you
Absolutely! The easiest way to distinguish the two is their cleavage. Amphiboles exhibit two cleavage planes at ~120 and ~60 degrees. Pyroxene exhibits two cleavage planes at ~90 degrees!
I think it is harder when you start your career to know the difference between sand, clay, silt and rock. Honestly you should make a video on it in the field.
