Rocks of Ages Basalt: A Journey to the Pacific Ring of Fire
July. 24,2016
For millions of years rocks have formed the fundament man moves on over the earth. Rocks are everywhere, so they are said to be the memory of our planet. How can a sandstone landscape be pastel pink and another is full of colorful dramatic lines? Why is one basalt boulder rough and porous while another appears as fine and polished as glass? Where do the rich granite boulders come from in an otherwise flat plain? What is the difference between granite and basalt and - why aren't all the craters on earth of volcanic origin? In my trips to spectacular places characterized by highly concentrated deposits of rock - the basalt on the Pacific Ring of Fire, the sandstone in the American West, granite in the cold French Atlantic and the marble quarries in Rajasthan - I find answers.
Reviews
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
