So You Think You Know Plate Tectonics? Part 7 - Rocks and Climate

PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast

Learn all the basics of geology in our new conversational textbook - campGEO!
Available here: geo.campcourses.com
Today, we talk about Rocks and climate. Specifically, we discuss the ways that ancient rocks would have interacted with our ancient atmosphere. We begin by talking a little about the Carbon Cycle and how it's affected by plate tectonics. We then discuss some ways that experimental researchers are making rocks in the lab and studying the ways that changing gas compositions affect the oxidation state of mafic minerals.

We hope you enjoy, and as usual please send us any questions you have!

We now have a live Mobile App for iOS and Android. There you can learn all the basics of geoscience with our CampGeo content, purchase a visual audiobook on the Geology of Yellowstone National Park, and listen to past PlanetGeo episodes!
