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.

When Did Plate Tectonics Begin? Plate Tectonics Part 4 Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

Learn all the basics of geology in our new conversational textbook - campGEO!
Available here: geo.campcourses.com
In this episode, we tackle the issue of when plate tectonics started on Earth and why this is an important question. This is a large part of Jesse's research so he has a lot to say. In order to address this question, we first discuss some parameters and what defines plate tectonics.
We also get into some detail by discussing some variations on the plate tectonics model: Things like sagduction, squishy-lid tectonics, stagnant lid tectonics and episodic tectonics to name a few.
We hope you enjoy!
