From towering mountains to pebbles along a river, the Earth is made of a huge variety of rocks. In today’s episode, we’re going to follow the rock cycle of a piece of granite in the Himalayan mountains, and as you’ll see, every rock has a far-reaching story to tell often millions of years in the making.

Nice Lapis earrings 🙂
I found this channel today.
It is a great channel!
temperature, day and night, pressure, etc… Changes in rocks by the environment…
I learned a little about rocks.
It's so helpful. Thank you!
Can we have a rocketry crash course please please please
Thank you so much Crash Course! I'm fine with intertwining geology (concepts) with Crash Course Geography even if getting a standalone geology Crash Course is not likely.
Interesting though guys
I've been waiting for geology vids for so long! Yeah!
So tell me again hows this Geography lesson teaches me where Himalayas is located? I'm fairly sure you taught me alot about Geology here, which is not the same thing.
Am I the only person who felt bad for the poor little granite rock?
"Which is made with the help of all these gneiss people…" I knew the Crash Course team were all rock stars! 😀
9 year-old me would be so happy watching this video, so I'm doing it for her
Please be my teacher, he he
Isn't an examination of rocks called geology? Geography describes places on earth as they relate to people.
Aww, why'd you have to make the disintegrating rock so cute?
Very nice 👌🏼👍👌🏼 information
Thanks 😊
Hank Schrader would be proud that I learned the difference between rocks and minerals today.
Loved the learning.
Your aunt must have a heart of stone. badumtiss
It's not just a stupid boulder! It's a rock!
This video “Rocks”
Never knew I would like rocks.
The plural of process is not pronounced "processeez", you're confusing it with the pluralization of Latin words ending with -is, such as axis or analysis. Processes has a standard English plural. Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
That was some nice gneiss /ancient geology humour
JESUS , MARIE THEY'RE MINERALS!
isn't this geology?
Rocks are form by Drum, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard.
#18 already? Time flies.
I am a geoscientist and there are rocks in every corner of my room. Picked them up on field trips, now they are just vibing. Love them, they bring me joy
There is so much more to rocks! When is CrashCourse Geology coming?
This is the best crash course series with the best presenter! The knowledge, the confidence, the enthusiasm! Absolutely beyond reproach! Not to mention the hair, the nails, the shirt. Alize you're amazing!
stop making me sad about soil and rock characters, thought café 🙁
I'm trying to figure out what is the pattern on Alize's shirt. It looks kinda like birds and kinda like dinosaurs but not too much like either.
Ayy Alizé had a new hairstyle, she looks gorgeous. And as always, I really appreciate all of the team' work in order to deliver to us viewer quality educational videos, they really spark my interest for geographic stuffs. Thank you very much.
Things that good to know
CrashCourse Geology?
That was a huge amount of information packed into a 10 minute video.
We might even say you could do a whole Crash Course series on Geology!
So when you find a gneiss-looking rock, don't take it for granite.
Actually water is the most universal solvent.
Very interesting. Not one Led Zeppelin reference though.
Uh… geography? Would this topic not be better suited for geology?
There are actually two types of crust on Earth; thin crust and stuffed crust.
Jesus Christ Marie! They're minerals!
I'm doing a presentation on geology and I spent all last week searching for Crash Course explaining the rock cycle. So glad this is now here
Make Crash Course Geologyyyyy
"No one has ever gone to centre of the earth", Ask Jules Verne he will tell you all about that.
