This fun and engaging course dives into Earth Science, exploring how our planet works from its history to its current state. It answers cool questions about mountains, oceans, and crystals, making complex ideas super easy to grasp.
This is the ultimate geology crash-course, you'll learn about the magic of Earth's inner workings concisely and easily.
This ambitious course in Earth Science is the first of its kind. DJ Lake inspires wonder, explaining challenging scientific concepts clearly and easily.
Starting billions of years ago at the beginning of time, we bring you right to the present day. The veil is lifted on why the Earth works as it does, how we know what we know about our planet, and how all this affects your daily experience of the world.
This course is an introduction to Earth Science topics through the history of geology and chemistry. It is aimed at giving the student knowledge of why and how we know what we know in Earth Science. If you are looking for a course that will teach you identification of common rocks & minerals, you might find another course more appropriate because the focus here is big-picture ideas.
We'll answer the fundamental questions...
How are mountains made?
Why do oceans exist?
What is a crystal?
How old is the Earth?
and many more…
Learn about the history and workings of planet Earth.
Learn about global phenomena, rocks, crystals, plate tectonics, geologic time, and how rocks form.
Learn how geology influences everything from the shape of the landscape to natural events (often called disasters.)

Most children are fascinated by rocks and fossils. I never grew out of it! I studied geology in university, and am presently pursuing a Master's of Science in Geology. My area of study is gemstone exploration, and I read academic publications on geology for pleasure (…we're a rare breed). I'm fascinated by all aspects of Earth science. For years I've...
I took some geology in college, but this was a nice refresher.
Thank you for making it available free
One suggestion: Instead of cornering the conceptual figure is it possible to make it appear in middle where the man is standing and lecturing and the man can be in the corner talking
Thanks again
The guy was a slow talker, but overall his information was good!
This was an enjoyable entry level course. While I was familiar with many aspects discussed therein, I was surprised by some aspects for which I did not know, e.g., discussion of radioactivity and interface with geology. My background includes significant radiological experience.

D J Lake is an excellent teacher. He has broken up some of the compaction in my brain regarding geology. Kudos to him for his excellent presentation. Video and animations are brilliant.
nice lecture
yes it was
Love it. Thanks, man!
