This video explores five fun facts about Metamorphic Rocks.
Professor Dave Explains
The Rock Cycle
We've spent quite some time discussing igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks, their properties, and the conditions under which they form. Now it's time to zoom out and see how they are all connected in something called...

Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Part 3: Chemogenic Rocks
With siliciclastic and biogenic rocks covered, that leaves only chemogenic rocks to finish up with sedimentary rocks in general. These are rocks that precipitate from natural waters, usually due to evaporation. How does this occur, and...

Mineralogy of Sedimentary Rocks: Weathering and Diagenesis
Now that we know some general information regarding sedimentary rocks, let's examine their mineralogy. What kinds of minerals can be found in sedimentary rocks? How do these minerals change over time? What can we say about weathering,...
Professor Dave Explains
Characteristics of Sedimentary Rocks: Size, Provenance, and Composition
With igneous rocks understood, let's move on to the second type of rock, sedimentary rock. What are sediments, and how do they come together to form sedimentary rocks? What can we say about the size of such a rock? It's provenance, or...
Professor Dave Explains
Origin of Igneous Rocks
With minerals better understood, it's time to discuss rocks. The first type of rock we will discuss is igneous rock. These rocks are formed when magma/lava crystallizes. But how does the mantle rock melt to form magma in the first place?...
Professor Dave Explains
Classification of Sedimentary Rocks Part 1: Terrigenous/Siliciclastic Rocks
We now know what sedimentary rocks are, but how do we classify them? We have to discuss three broad categories of sedimentary rock, and the first of these are terrigenous or siliciclastic rocks. These are rocks composed of clasts, or...
Professor Dave Explains
Classification of Igneous Rocks: Intrusive vs. Extrusive
Now that we know how igneous rocks form, what are the types of igneous rocks? This depends on precisely where they form, and we can call them either intrusive or extrusive. These can also be called either plutonic or volcanic. What do...
